    Hey TW,

    So last year, I bought my first Tacoma, a 1999 Xtracab TRD V6. I had always wanted an old 4x4 that I wouldn't feel too bad beating on and this fit the bill. After I bought the truck, I got a job working at Sport Chalet so I could start doing some mods. First I got basic maintenance items out of the way (oil, air filter etc...), then it was on to the lift and tires. I got pretty lucky and found a used OME lift on Craigslist which included 882 coils W/nitrochargers, a dakar leaf pack, bilstein 5125's, and an extended rear brake line..all for $400. Then for tires I went with Hankook Dynapro ATm's in 285/75/16...which I got from Discount Tires eBay store for $600 shipped. Other miscellaneous mods include : Spyder Headlights, led interior light, and the grey wire mod( thanks TW!) Im really happy with the way the truck looks and drives right now, hopefully ill be able to get a bumper/winch and sliders later this year. Any questions please ask and I'm always looking for constructive criticism and suggestions!
