    So, I don't know how to take nice pics like y'all and I'm gonna be "modding on a budget." I've been checking out these threads for years and finally got a 2016 Taco. I'm looking for tough, but this is an everyday driver so it has to be reasonable. Here are some pics.......

    Tomorrow having a leveling kit put on. I know everyone likes name brands posted but I don't have the paperwork in the house. It will be 3" in the front and 2.75" in the rear. Also taking the current 260 60 R17 Rugged Terrain tires off and replacing them with 275 70 R17 BFG All Terrain (I think the at/ko).

    What did you go with for your leveling kit? Brand? How much did it cost you?
