    What's up TW! On my second 2nd gen Tacoma and it's still like being in the honeymoon stage of my marriage. I was leaving the beach from surfing yesterday when I saw a guy going for it in the sand, so I pulled over to check the area out. Come to find out it was a meet with the regional Oahu group. I was actually able to meet some of the guys and see what mods and upgrades everyone was doing. Got me super excited to start working on my Tacoma. It'll be a long process as it's still my daily driver but I'll get there. Anyways, Aloha guys!

    Man I was already looking at ARB lockers. But I want to wait until my warranty is up. So, I'm gonna have to make the best of my LSD for now. But, I already see $$$ going into my truck!

    Lift and tires.
    And do it right the first time. No spacers and blocks. Fox or ICON coilovers. or even kings if you can afford it. I bought all my stuff from one of Tacoma worlds favorite vendors, http://downsouthmotorsports.com/

    I went with the Downsouthmotors "build your own mid travel kit". You can choose the options from the drop down menu. I went with fox 2.5 ifp coil overs in front, fox 2.0 resi in the rear with icon 3 leaf progressive mini pack, and total chaos uni ball upper control arms to allow for the additional droop. All around $2500 shipped to Hawaii. I wanted the dakar leaf springs, but shipping on those are expensive.
