    This thread will document the evolving transformation of my 2005 Tacoma Prerunner. I purchased this truck in 2011 to be used as a tool for my studies and for small fabrication furniture projects. Since then, I've learned to understand this truck and its capabilities. The mod list is short, but I've enjoyed many memories already. It's great to be part of of a community who share the same interests.

    Fresh from a 1" spacer lift and larger tires, I was anxious to use the truck for school projects. Pictured here is the transportation and installation of one the larger completed projects back in 2014.

    Love to see a truck being used for work and play. Love the soft topper too. I want to get rid of my Leer and get a soft top

    You won't regret it. One of the best investments I've made for my truck.

    Really like that arb bumper. How much difference has it made while using it offroad/daily driving?

    Honestly, haven’t felt a difference driving on/off-road. Although heavy, haven’t had any changes in mpg either.

    Plenty of new changes from the last post a year ago. Bigger tires, bigger gears, bigger adventures. Here are some pics of the latest setup:
