    Hey, I have been reading around on this site for about a year and thought I should finally register to reap all the advantages the site has to offer.

    I have a black '08 2x4 SR5 extended cab t-comb. I couldn't afford the 4x4 at the time because I was in University when I bought her.

    Right now I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of this one for a 4x4 or just putting a bit of cash into this one to get it just how I want it since I'm done school and earning good cash now. It's on a lease so I'm not sure how much of a loss I would face to upgrade to a 4x4. Anyone have a similar experience?

    Upgrades I want to do are:

    2-3 inch lift all around
    black rims + slightly larger tires (riding on BF AT's right now)
    fog lights
    roof rack + snowboard attachment
    maybe different grill
    not sure about interior yet

    Every time I convince myself I'm not going to get a new tacoma or put much money into mine, I always end up browsing the sexy build ups here in my spare time and begin plotting all the ways to blow my pay cheque on my truck. :D

    cheers
    time to go do some more reading around here
