    Hey guys/ gals,

    I'm Jake and I am a first time Toyota owner... I eneded up with a 2017 TRD Off-road Tacoma in magnetic. I crossed over from a decade in the Wrangler world with 2 previous ones. My last Jeep burnt up in a fire coming from Germany to the USA. I will be making heavy use of the search function on here and my plans right now are a front bumper, winch, sliders then moving on to a lift and tires! I look forward to this adventure!

    Oh and also if you plan to wheel your truck you might want to prioritize your purchases...

    Most would agree with me when i say that you should start with an IFS skid and sliders. Probably a lift next to support the weight of a bumper and get room for tire clearence, then larger tires. When you get a bumper... get the bumper, winch, and lights all at the same time so that you dont have to keep dropping the bumper to add features.

    I'll have to look up the jamboree, I'm on day 3 as an official owner. I am looking at the Icon kits right now (advise?), I know IFS has alot more complications to it than the solid axles I'm use to. I'm all about the skids and typically like to do winch and bumper at the same time. Thanks for lookin out! :oldglory:
