    What's up everybody, my name is Cody, im new to the sight and have owned a Toyota all my life. '03 TRD Pre-Runner Tacoma 4d, '92 4runner SAS/3.4 swap, and finally now have a '12 TRD Tacoma off road 4d. Looking for mods and figured this would be the best place to start. My family and I love going camping and on adventures whenever we get the chance, that being said what do you guys think I should do first to my truck?

    Welcome Cody. Can you do both? If not, I'd guess suspension depending on wheel and tire size.

    The key question why do you need a lift? The answer to that matters.

    You need "other" choice. I voted wheels/tires.

    It's too easy to Fuck up a lift. Tires are pretty straight forward mods.

    My bad, first post, didn't really mean to give a choice. More less looking to see what everyone would do first if they were into doing the same type of stuff as me.

    I rarely do anything until I determine what needs improvement.

    If it works 'as is' I'd leave it alone.

    While I enjoy looks, function comes first. If while improving function I can improve looks, good deal. I'm all for double dipping.
