    dont listen to door ding! if you wanna fit in and be cool you HAVE TO buy what tacomaworld tells you to buy!! with that being said go out right now and get yourself a 10-13" lift kit (blocks and spacers not actual suspension parts) find yourself a set of 44" superswampers and as much chrome as you can without throwing up!

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    10-13 inches is for pussy's

    go big or go home. Get some nitto mud tires. Leave the swampers to actually use offroad.

    lol I have never been able to justify the money to meet him. back when I had my 92 I was saving up for that reduction box, now that I have the taco im saving up for another 92:eek:.

    one of these days, I will be customer #1 . . . . .reductions and sas for all!!

    it bums me every day that his shop is 45 mins from me (along with trail gear and a few other notable shops) and I have never been in one.

    OP ... What DoorDing said, it's YOUR TRUCK. You'll find every flavor possible in this forum. What you can afford and what makes you happy with your truck is what you should do. IMHO FWIW

    chrome adds hp,

    hp adds fun,

    drunk adds fun,

    the only logical solution is to get drunk, add chrome. and go have fun.




    -disclaimer notice, if your stupid.. its your own fault.

    A bit extreme. Atleast he was honest. Who cares what he does with his truck

    OP- if your wanting a sweet truck nothing looks better than a lifted (3" IMO) tacoma with KM2's or MTR's kvlr. 4" back space wheels, sliders, plate bumpers and maybe even a snorkel. Make your truck your own and use it as you want. If you ever want to take it off-road atleast you'll know its capable.

    not extreme enough for somebody with that much disposable income. I should have slashed his tires and keyed his door and smashed his windshield! YEAH!!

    Hoping to do a "budget" mod before I show off what I did. Probably start with plasti dipping the chrome grille since I bought a can of plastidip probably about a month ago.

    This looks good enough for me.

    I'm not big into lifting the truck (maybe leveling out the front) but I don't do any hard core off roading either.

    Sigh.... This would have helped give it the look...

    40" LED Bar is installed.

    What would have been really cool is if they would have sent the Fucking Wiring Harness, Relay, and Switch so I could actually use it:rolleyes:

    Actually they were really cool and apologetic about the whole thing and are sending them out today. I should have it by Tues. Looks cool though.:cool:
