New 2014 Tacoma PreRunner

Got a new truck but i need some ideas for lift and type of tires. Any ideas?

 

Welcome to the nut house!

 

Welcome

Bilstein 5100 shocks for the lift and a "Add A Leaf" for the rear. Tires depend on what you plan to do with the truck so that is subjective.

 

Something to give it a little extra beef. I didn't know what type though. Maybe some toyo open country? or nittos?

 

Only you can decide that.

This is what I'm running

Very Nice!
They are calling your truck an SR package out here on the left coast. I just picked this one up a few weeks ago and I believe the SR package was a replacement for the Prerunner. Mine is a 4x4 V6 with tow package, fog lites and black alloy wheels, but no backup camera? The wiring is there as well as the sticker warning you to unhook it before you remove the tailgate but the stealership said it did not come with my particular package (I could of course buy one for $600 lol, I'll figure it out on my own and get one from B&H Photo...). Being a former Jeep guy, I have many of the same questions regarding lift and other EXP type mods as I am completely unfamiliar with Toyotas. Mine will be a daily driver but I am thinking 2" of lift with 265-285 size tires should suffice for my needs here in the desert. RTT rack for the bed from AP at some point along with armor. If this is anything like my Jeep, I know I am in trouble lol.....

This is unrelated but why is there such a large gap between your front and back door?

 

the paranoid new car owner in me put moulding along door edges. It will probably fall off this summer when we hit 120

 

Its not a large gap I think the picture just over exaggerates the gap.

 

Gotcha!

It just kind of caught my eye. I understand the new car / truck thing. Want to keep them looking as good as you can for as long as you can. Looks great by the way!

 

Thanks! It is a sweet truck much better than my jeep!
Cheers

Nice tires, I likey. How loud is the roar one the highway?

 

Depends on when I rotate them. No matter, at 40 MPH they are LOUD. I suppose they hit just the right frequency at 40. Anything under or over they aren't bad but 40 is the magic number lol. Other than that I have no complaints. They are 10Ply tires so they ride rougher than stock but not overly so.

 

If u go offroading a lot get somethin nice but if its just a pavement cruiser get some spacers and a block

 

Spacers will fuck up the bearings over time. If he does any off roading the blocks will be shit.

 

What's your budget? how high do you wanna go? prerunner are badass w/ spindles and a set fo all pro leafs. You can always go a little higher with spindles, 5100's set at .85 and expos. Wanna go higher no budget= spindles, Kings ext. travel, expos, flip kit and or Block.
