    Wheels tires and a leveling kit
    Hello everyone, I have always wanted a Tacoma 4x4. I make my living as a Dallas Police officer. After being pinned down by sniper fire on July 7 of this year and suffering some devastating losses of close friends my wife convinced me it was time I did something for myself. I have a brand new Tacoma now and I love it. I am putting new wheels and tires on this week and plan on getting a mesh grill from a guy I just saw on here (custom car grills) as soon as I can build up some more funds. I see a lot I want but no matter what my wife says, I still have to live on a cop's salary. I am sure, God willing, one day it will be exactly the truck I have always pictured in my head. And it's a Toyota so I plan on passing it to my 5 year old son for his first vehicle. Don't know if anyone will read this but stay safe and God bless you all.

    As soon as I get the wheels and tires on it I definitely will. Would just be embarrassing against all the trucks I've seen on here so far. Ha!
