    Hello everyone!

    Yesterday I purchased my first Tacoma - super stoked!! It's an '06, but the body is amazing and the interior looks BRAND NEW.

    [​IMG]

    I've ordered a bull bar and new brackets for the Raptor step bars (they are too low), and I'm heading to see about getting a new touch-screen stereo installed. But I really want to lift this thing about 3", but I know NOTHING about it. I'm sure I'll post a thread about that to get feedback. I don't know the difference between a "body lift" and "suspension lift" or the pros and cons of each. I'm thrilled to learn from folks who know! And more excited to see some amazing trucks.

    Thanks!!

    Yeah, I know! The guy who had it got some weird eye disease and couldn't drive. So his wife had to drive him, and he lowered them so she could step in the truck (like it's high, right!?). So I just spent $75 on a bracket kit to fix that.
