    Hey y'all,

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I've had my '07 Tacoma for about a year. I'm slowly getting her to where I want her. It's my daily driver and recreational rig. She needs to mainly get me to work, plus get me anywhere on weekend camping trips. I'm pretty happy with the setup so far:

    -3" lift
    -I had a lot of issues with the dreaded growl and vibration coming from under the drivers side the day I had my lift installed. I recently took it back and had them install the ECGS 8" Clamshell Bushing and it took 100% of the noise and vibe away! I'm very happy I decided to pull the trigger on that. Kind of a bummer Tacoma allows that issue to continue, but whatever, mine is fixed now.

    -Toyo AT 265/75/16's. My favorite decision so far. I personally think they look great, plus I have zero rub.

    -ARE cap. I'm not 100% which one. My wife got it for me used as a gift. Possibly the Z Series?

    -Plasti dipped my badges

    Wants:
    -I would like to get new wheels eventually, but I'de rather spend the money on other stuff.
    -Find an affordable way to mount my tools. I know there are threads on that in here, it's a matter of time and money until I do it.
    -Bluetooth stereo w/ Apple Play. Mine doesn't even have an AUX port. Really annoying actually lol.
    -Lots of little things!

    Anybody here stationed at or near Fort Lee? I'll be heading that way shortly. Anyway, I've learned a lot from you guys. I'm hoping to contribute a little more.

    -Z
