    Hello! My name is Matt. I live in Chandler, AZ. I am an Air Force Veteran and plumbing business owner. Two days ago I brought home this beauty.
    A 2017 TRD Tacoma Offroad 4x4.
    20170328_153237_zpsm5njc82q_7735e88bb3cb41895436d03df8dce0d0aa2b50c0.jpg

    It was a total and complete surprise for my wife,

    who has never had a new vehicle. I've wanted a Toy for awhile and wasn't exactly planning on buying a new one, but I know this one will last us for a LOOOONG time. Its a little pricey, but I knew that if I didn't buy one that was really capable off the showroom floor that it would be down over and over again while I upgraded it. As it sits we can take it and enjoy it on many trails here in the area.
    I have no idea what lift kit was installed, but the wheels are upgraded 18" with Nitto Trail Grapplers.

    20170330_103759_zpsvjg8yuex_49a68baaa20bdfd4c8ea5694079cb5efbcdc1ec0.jpg

    Anyway its going to get some minor upgrades here and there, but nothing that will prevent my wife from driving it. The biggest thing I plan on doing is building an offroad camping trailer from scratch.
    Thanks for having me!
    Matt

    Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind but the Bilsteins seem to ride great so far! What are most people doing for there CV's? Seems to be only about 1.5" of lift so what do people do who go higher? Lift spindles?

    Haha been awhile since I've done any mechanicing. A lift spindle would be pretty tough to do with a cv axle. LOL

    Thanks again!
