New guy from MD here!

New to the Tacoma world. Just picked up my first (and hopefully last for a long time) Tacoma. It's a 2007 double cab with only 80k miles on it that was bone stock aside from a bed cover and some window visors. Drove 4.5 hours into northern Jersey to pick it up and I couldn't be happier. Here is what it looked like a week ago when I got it.




Literally as soon as I got home I went shopping online. Ordered a 3" Toytec lift kit, wheels, tires, flush mount led light bar, weathertech mats And the list goes on lol. My wife and I currently have a 2005 Honda Pilot that we frequent Assateague island beach with. The Pilot does pretty good considering it's essentially a lifted Oddysey. The lack of true 4x4 and ground clearance left quite a bit to be desired. So started my quest to build a truck that would be a blast on the beach and also in the snow.

I put the lift on last night as well as the led light bar, got the tires mounted on the new wheels today and had it aligned. Here's how she's sitting now. I'm in love with this truck!

 

Congrats on your Tacoma and welcome! Nice looking truck, digging the rims!

 

Welcome and congrats!Lookin real nice OP!

 

Wow looks great!

 

Thanks guys! It's my first Toyota. My dad had a 4 runner when I was a kid that we would frequently take on assateague beach and I loved it. Guess history repeats itself because I'll be taking my son out there next weekend lol.

 

Nice! That did not take long to get the mods rolling!

 

Pretty truck. Welcome!

 

Welcome.............beautiful truck

 

Thanks! I've come to the conclusion after a little research that I now need UCA's to get a proper alignment. Buy once cry once is my motto. Looks like I'm ordering some TC UCA's tonight. My wife is thrilled lol.

 

Put the new UCA's on last night. Got it aligned today and I'm loving it!
