    Welp, I pulled the trigger this last week and traded in my '11 3500 Cummins Ram for a '14 DCLB TRD Sport w/ Nav. I figured it was time to downsize a little bit and the Tacoma was the best decision. So far the truck has a little over 500 miles on it and I love it. Anyways, on to the pics..

    FE57D3F5-3FCF-4823-A897-1E04B6CEC0F8_71ec5463592d1a8b32bb65f8cc2fd45599a2736d.jpg

    So far I figure I will start with some suspension changes.

    First will be OME 884's w/ 5100's all around just to give the front end some lift. Then some wheels and tires, so far those are undecided but I have always had good luck with the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

    I am sure its just the start, I will just continue on reading now..

    884's is a model of coil springs by Old Man Emu (OME). And 5100's are shocks/struts made by Bilstein.

    Very good looking truck! I'd get the same model you have except in Dark Blue (don't remember the exact name Toyota uses). Already putting her to work I see haha

    I had to get the DCLB, it just looks so good! I went through 5 dealers until I found one and then it just so happened to be loaded and a trd sport. The dealer held it for me for a week until I could make it back up to get it, everything worked out perfect, I couldn't be happier!

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Yeah I actually picked it up from the dealer, drove it across town to pick up my trailer and drove it 260 miles home. I believe thats the proper way to break it in, right?

    Well the taco looks a bit different now after a few months. It's about time for its first service, I'm really enjoying it so far.
