    Your monthly payments depends on your background. If you older and you have accumulated actual credit, your payments will be lower.if your still young,(early 20s) expect to have a higher finance rate and bigger monthly. Also expect that if this is your first auto purchase... You'll be paying 9% plus for finance. I jus walked out of my dealership with truck last Tuesday at 27.3k out the door. Dual cab Tacoma pre runner v6. Nothing special.. first time buyer, monthly is 500+... But I didn't drop a big down. But I can always refinance in 6 months. Hope this helps!! Good luck!

    Long time viewer, first time poster. I've been using this site for a long time for all sorts of advice and mods. Figured it might be time to give back to this so welcoming and gracious community. New photos uploaded from this years Happy Jack Wheel Off (not an official thing just me and some of my buddies in Wyoming with Tacos). Gonna take me a bit of time to get acquainted with actually participating on this site and not just viewing all of the amazing trucks.

    First time to this site. Second post.

    Just bought a 2015 TRD Off-road. Pick it up tomorrow. Looking forward to learning a lot about Tacomas. I'm coming from Jeeps so Toyotas are new to me.

    Is this one of the setups offered by Toytec? I have the same set up but went with the Bilsteins 5100's. Just an opinion, but it seems like from my reading on here that most people prefer the Bilsteins over the OME shocks. I would just make sure you do a lot of compare an contrast before you proceed. Good choice on the UCA's

    Quality-wise, yes. and I think there are people on here that might be able to confirm this. However, I have also heard that the OME's provide a softer ride, which could be good or bad depending on what type of driving you do most. Either way I am very happy with the product, under $1k for 3 inches of suspension lift, one of the best deals on the market.

    Nope, got new coils with the kit. my UCA's are still stock, haven't had any problems with them. I would like to change them out at some point with some better ones though.

    Yep aal in the rear. Nope didn't get the tsb. I am thinking about just putting in an All Pro leaf pack though eventually. Wish I would have had the money when I was putting the lift on.
