    Good evening Tacoma World! I have followed all posts since 13' but finally managed to join the world of Tacomas. Here is what the truck used to be....

    OLD.jpg




    ...here is a "sneak peek" of what the truck with new wheels & tires on the truck looks like as of now...

    New.jpg


    1998 Toyota Tacoma Limited V6 4X4 Manuel

    Current:

    From the ground up...

    Tires: Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W 265/75/16
    Wheels: Pro Comp Series 32
    Suspension:
    Bilstein 5100s
    OME 880
    Wheelers Leaf Pack


    Coming (02/01/2020):

    Tires: Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W 265/75/16
    Wheels: Pro Comp Series 32
    Suspension:
    -Bilstein 5100s
    -OME 881
    -Wheelers Leaf Pack w/ 1.5" AAL pack
    -1/2" top plate spacer (drivers side)
    -3/8" top plate spacer (passenger side)
    -Differential drop


    Wanting:

    -Roof Rack from UpTop overland (my truck will be the 1st...1st gen w/ one of their racks and
    be available to everyone else soon!)
    -Black front bumper from Lil B's Fabrication (they do not yet make them for 1st gens, trying
    to talk them into it as their new gen bumpers are so sweet! Need tips to other but the ones
    that are out there aren't as simple as I would like them to be)
    -Black rear bumper (Need tips on this as well...again there aren't many simple designs out
    there that I have seen)
    -AND TO GET RID OF ALL OF MY CHROME THE LIMITED PACKAGE HAS GIVEN ME!!!


    A little bit about myself. I am a recent college graduate who went to many different colleges playing baseball at each until I finally settled in Colorado. I am from Northern California but ever since moving to Colorado 3 years ago I have fallen in love. I am an avid hunter, shooter, hiker, snowboarder and an all outdoor adventurist. I do not "off-road" where I have "sick flex" but I do find myself on some gnarly forest service roads at 12,000 ft high w/ 6" of snow hunting elk at some times. I welcome all questions, demands and even rude comments. In the end, I'm here for a good time and to learn more than what I already have from this site.


    Also, will be replacing the left cv axle when I change the coils and add the AAL tomorrow!

    Thank you to all the welcomes! I was able to install everything on Saturday and here is a pick from our excursion on Sunday! With this storm rolling in I am excited to see how these tires perform and ready to hit the mountains! After the install, I also had OME 880 on the truck since late 2017. If anyone wants to start there let me know and I have a pair!
