First Tacoma

I used to drive a 1993 Honda civic, but now i am an owner of a 2013 Tacoma! I've had it for 10 days now, already took it up some steed forestry roads and it took me up the trails like a dream. I'm loving it more and more each day, Its a double bad extended box. its not a TRD but has a V6 4.0L engine.. is this a stock SR5?? I didn't think (from my research) that the base SR5 came in a 4.0 L engine. thanks for your help. Also i was looking at a 3" rough country lift and they seem reasonable as far as price and quality, what do you think?

thanks for the help!

 

Congrats and welcome to TW!

 

I have a rough country 3 inch lift and i like it. I have had no problems with it and it is great for the money. I sometimes have regrets of not doing a lift with new coils and struts though. They are alot nicer lift kits. You should check out some of those. Going back i would have gotten these. http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/3-lift-kit-with-Bilstein-5100-Front-Coilovers_p_364.html

 

thanks man! what size tires did you manage to fit with the 3"?

 

I went with some 265/75/R16 which is roughly 31.6 inches by 10.5 inches but i could have easily gone to 33's. I had to stay a little smaller with the tires since i got the 4 cyl. and its my daily driver, But since you got the v6 i would go with some 32 inch tires. If you don't mind cutting a bit of your fenders go with 33's!

 

After some looking i think im going with 265/75r16 so they should be good with the 3" lift. This is also my daily driver

 

Congrats on your Tacoma and welcome!

 

Small word of advice. Get rid of the Bull Bar they cause more damage than they protect. I had one and it broke the grill, bumper, radiator with an accident at about 7 to 9 MPH.

 

No way! Well i might be trying to sell that soon! Thank you for that
