'17 TRD Sport DCLB Chiefs Kingdom Build

This is my first Tacoma the morning after I took a five hour bus ride to St. Louis to pick it up. The bus ride was awful but totally worth it. I had been looking for a red Taco and found a good deal not too far away. It has 34k miles on it, sunroof, remote start, leather seat covers, long bed, hard rolling bed cover, pop & lock tailgate lock, and bolt-on rock sliders.



First thing I did was tint the front windows.



Then I had to install the TRD Pro grille and black TACOMA lettering for the rear before heading out of town for Thanksgiving.



Next on the list was to add the amber LED lights to the grille, remove the TRD Sport stickers, install my front leveling kit, and new tires. I went with Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70/17. I had these tires on my 4Runner and loved them.





Installed new wheels, K&N CAI, removed the tonneau (it was broken), removed the badges, lamin-x on the fogs, AVS low profile window guards, and installed hood struts. Suspension lift and UCAs have been ordered!




Had a tune done yesterday by a local guy. Very happy with how she's driving!

 

Welcome to TW, what're your plans for it?

 

I just ordered the rough country leveling kit and new tires. I'm going with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 255/75/17.

 

If you're going to offroad with it, I'd suggest checking out other options than that kit.

 

I'm open to suggestions.

 

I've ridden in a couple leveled trucks and I'd say save up/get some coilovers; your truck will thank you. Busted shocks over potholes have happened on spacers. There's always some coilovers in the marketplace here if you're okay with used and if you decide to lift later, crank them up and you're done. Did you go with the 2"?

 

Yeah, I got the 2". I figured for $60 it's not a total waste when I decide to do something more serious.
