    Hey guys so it has been a while since I have come on here with any updates on my truck so here it is haha. So I got her lifted finally and it turned out exactly how I wanted, got the mean stance I was looking for. With with TOYO AT's for tires just because from the people I had asked said they were great for snow and road since that will be the most driving I will be doing with it. Got the TRD Pro grille and swapped that out and color matched the TOYOTA to the color of the truck. Got a roof rack installed, and a Magnaflow Catback exhaust. And most recently got my fender flares painted black to match the TRD trims.

    So I wanted to start looking at what to do performance wise and the biggest set back is that I live in California... So I was looking for suggestions on what to look for that I can do. Already got my exhaust to make her sound better but thats it really so far. So ya any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks Everyone

    How/why is it that some call their trucks "female" for example:
    "Hey guys so it has been a while since I have come on here with any updates on my truck so here it is haha. So I got her lifted finally and it turned out exactly how I wanted, got the mean stance I was looking for."
    Do gals call their trucks "he" ??

    Most fellas feel better about getting inside a gal, than a dude, but I’m not going to judge. There’s room for everyone.

    So the Exact kit I got was A "Tuff Country Lift Kit" From 4wheelparts. Its a 3" lift and an add-a-leaf for the rear. Definitely a different ride from the stock feel but in a good way.

    https://www.4wheelparts.com/Suspens...5GMIv9jQzMz5lMzWbNAlrstiZ4dvJQahoCayEQAvD_BwE

    Theres a link to the exact kit that I got.

    This comes from the olden days when crews would name their sea-bound ships female names, as they would grant good luck and nurture the crew on their journey.

    Modern day, translates to aircraft and automobiles.


    OP-- nice truck. Can't go wrong with black wheels on QS and 285's/
