    What you have just said makes almost no sense at all.


    Also why are you posting pics of your truck in here. You trying to start a showdown bud?

    Do I have to spell this out for you?

    I was making a joke, about this guy maybe getting some ispiration from Frenando's truck and going the rest of the way with it... because Fenando "wont." (running inside joke with most people here in NorCal as well as the 1st gen pages)

    I posted pictures of my truck because OP was asking about lifts, and once you start asking about lifts the next thing you normally want to know is what does that lift you're talking about look like. So, I was showing him an example of what he was asking about.





    So... are you going to even try to actually add something of value to this thread? Or, is your schtick to just be a dick and make yourself look dumb?

    Welcome Op! Sweet truck! As far as a leveling strut, a bilstein 5100 is your easiest bet. As far as maintenance, your lower ball joints need a good check over for any play.

    Dont hesitate to ask questions, this isnt an auto forum where everyone screams "use the search bar" when questions are asked.




    Sorry that some people had to derail your thread with bickering. Just gotta ignore it, if you stick around here youll see that its totally normal unfortunetly.

    Welcome to the forums! I'm also new to the Tacoma scene, having found mine back in May after a search that lasted for months and months.
    Good things come to those who remain vigilant in their Taco search.

    Welcome to TW
    I could not have kept mine going without all the help from everybody here.

    Be careful, once you start modifications, you might not be able to stop.

    @mattbryan660 I agree with post #25. I have a 2003, looks just like yours.Wish I had your camper shell. I'm going to go with an OME setup one day. Unless your plan on doing a lot of hard core off road, just put a better suspension on it. More lift means more stress on CV axles, and driveline. Keep your fluids changed, timing belt and water pump every 100k miles, check your ball joints,keep everything greased and lubed, and this truck should last you upwards of 300k plus miles.

    Welcome, very clean rig. Looking at the 1st gen build threads will get expensive haha. However, mod it how you plan on using it. Lots of people here to help and or answer questions. :cheers:
