    Hello tacoma world. Just got my first tacoma and I love it. I have done just a couple small mods. But am thinking about doing the exhaust and a small lift. I like most other first timers have got the mod bug.
    All I have done so far is add the running boards, changed the grill to the TRD pro and added orange letters to the tailgate. (matching the orange interior)

    Would love to hear what to avoid in doing the lift and exhaust. Thanks.

    Welcome to TW! If you want lift on a budget, get 5100 struts paired with 2" OME coils in the front, 5100 shock absorbers paired with an aal in the rear, and that should level you out nicely.

    LOVE that home made looking camper you've got on the back. Maybe should rotate it 90 degrees though.
