    Been looking around the site these couple days to find how I can stiffen up the front end suspension? Seen all these really nice lowered 2nd gens on here looking really good. I put up a picture of my Taco on here let me know what you guys think! Thanks.

    Yeah looks great!

    What are your current suspension mods? Just DJM on stock springs? Maybe the "stock height" XR XII springs would be a pleasant upgrade. Or I'm not sure how high they adjust, but the XII QA1 coilovers might be worth checking out as well.

    No I didn’t do any mods for the wheels these wheels are off of a venza just make sure the center bore is the same and it should bolt right up. I have 245/40/20 tires they run a little bit more then when I had my 245/35/20 on there.
