    So I've had this gas sipper for 3 weeks now and I enjoy it a lot. I've had fast cars such as a built evo 8 so I don't care about a tacoma with a v6.
    It's very comfortable and good on gas.
    I just couldn't stand those skinny 15x6.5 that came with it so I upgraded to 17x9 with 235/65/17... I think that's the tire size. I just know that they're 29.5 in in diameter.

    I did notice a slight decrease in low end power but only when I try to step on it. otherwise it still runs like a 5 lug. feels like a real truck now.

    Future mods will be a 2-3 in lift and color match the chrome grill to gray
