    Hello! So, new member here (even though I have owned older tacomas and stalked this website my whole life). I have recently purchased this beauty, and decided to join this community to get the best help while building Mr. Yeti for the off-road adventures to come.

    First thing first, I was thinking of getting a new lift. I was originally leaning towards kings. Any suggestions? My goals are to have a softer ride while off-reading, and to plane able to Run 285's. Also, rock sliders. Any suggestions?

    Thank you everybody!

    I like where your head is at. If I can make a suggestion get the rock sliders first. I recommend looking into @Mobtown Offroad they make some awesome bullet proof sliders without breaking the bank and they come in bolt on or weld on. Get a set of King's but don't rush. Wait for a sale like on labor day or 4th of July. Its a new truck with new suspension so no need to buy it right away. I love my King's, super awesome ride. Great color by the way and welcome to Tw!

    How funny, right before I read your comment I was thinking about how I should get the sliders first. I checked out that guys page, looks pretty good! I might go with the weld on rock sliders, and I'll just spray it with Raptor Bed Liner! Any other recommendations for sliders? And how much for kings drop when they go on sale?

    Thanks for the advice man, and I love your taco, great taste in color!

    Not much but for the price your going to pay for Kings, any dollar you save is a win. I ended up saving maybe $100 off the front and $200 for the rears. My other recommendation for sliders is C4 Fabrication.
