New Taco - New Member

Just picked up my long awaited first Tacoma! I'm new to TacomaWorld so I'm going to need your help getting acquainted with the site and improving my Tacoma.

I don't know much about lifts, suspension, etc but I think my first mod will lifting/leveling. What's your recommendation for a lift and tire upgrade that wont hurt my gas mileage too much? I want to run something like a BF Goodrich All-Terrain.

Other mods I'm interested in:
-Black Nerf Bars
-Black bumper/grill guard
-Grill mod with lights set behind

Thanks!

 

Welcome to TW and Congrats on your new ride.

 

Please take a look at my Wheeler's shopping cart. Is this everything I need to lift my new taco?





I wasn't sure if you need Billstein shocks for this setup or Billstein Coilovers....I'm pretty new at this. Also, do I have the correct AAL selected for the rear? I'm only trying to achieve around a 2" level lift and will be running 265 tires. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

 

Saw youre looking for a black bumper also. I ended up dipping mine and also using the glossifier. The glossifier gives it a nice shine and makes it look painted. I taped everything off and left the bumper on my truck while doing it. Id still like to find a black bumper. But for $12 it will give you an idea of how it looks.

 

Nice! I rocked the plasti dip on my chrome surround of the grill on the front for a while and didnt like the way it didnt match the texture of the paint. I eventually switched to the color match grill. You can see it in my build below. I'm going to get mine sandblasted and paint it with colormatch paint and gloss overcoat.

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld man, here is what a 6' lift looks like.

 

I hate the chrome big time but i just plasti dipped mine and its been good for 2 years now with minor marks. Very hard to find the black ones

 

Welcome to TW and congrats!
