    Hey guys and gals.

    I am new to this forum, but not new to owning a Tacoma. I have had a 2003 full cab, and I currently own a 2017 full cab 4x4. I joined this forum because I have owned my truck a little over a year now and I am looking to start doing some mods to it. Any insight as well as pictures of what you guys have done to similar models would be appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of tips and tricks I can learn from the members here.

    Thanks.

    Welcome! I have a 2nd gen but I always like the look of Bilstein 5100s, 285s and a cab mount chop if you aren't afraid of cutting the frame. If you don't want to cut it, you can do the 5100s and 265/75R16s. Other than a lift and tires it's really all about what would make the truck more useful/enjoyable for you.

    Here's my 2nd gen with 5100s and a rear block with 305s. IMG_20200105_115341~2.jpg
