New Taco Owner!!

Hey guys!

My name's Karl, from Ohio. I recently picked up a 2001 Red Tacoma 4x4 5 speed SR5 TRD with only 116k for $6,000 ($6,750 out the door)!!! Here in Ohio, these trucks are very hard to come by and often go for $6k+ even with 175-225,000 miles, so I'm pretty happy with what I found. I have some plans for this when I get more time...

I had previously owned a 2000 Dodge Cummins, heavily modified:


Then I bought a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT/Rallye (FOR SALE NOW, any takers?):


I plan to:
1) level the front (I have seen that using a leveling kit on these is not liked by the general public.... So since I want to keep the stock ride quality, I'll probably go with Eibach springs??)
2) tint
3) new speakers, head unit (double din touch screen or just single din?), sub under the rear seat where the spare tire tools go
4) Tires and simple rims, probably 17" rims and 31" BFG A/T's

On my highway trip back home from picking it up, I averaged 20.2 mpg @ 73mph! I definitely want to keep this mileage as I am modifying the truck... Is it possible with slightly oversized tires and leveled front end?

 

Welcome!
