Hello from the Last Frontier!

Alright, so a lot of firsts for me here: first Toyota, first pickup, first New vehicle, first (soon to be) modified vehicle, first forum membership, first post. But I couldn't be more excited about any of it.

I just ordered my 20110 TRD Double Cab Taco in White. I am already planning on a number of upgrades. I'm going with King coil overs in the front with Total Chaos upper control arms, along with King shocks in the rear as well. I haven't decided on what method to use to lift the rear yet, but will most likely go with an add-a-leaf. (Opinions welcome).

I'm thinking I want black 18" wheels w/ gnarly looking 32"-33" wheels. The wheel tire combo is what I really need some help with. I've been eyeing the AR Mojave Teflon wheels, and am leaning toward the BFG MT's or Cooper STT's. But am 100% open to any opinions or suggestions from other members.

All in all I am very excited to be a part of the Taco community! Thanks for bearing with my rambling intro, and I look forward to getting to know the rest of the crew!

 

welcome

 

Welcome to TW,from one Alaskan to another.

 

sounds like fun....welcome to TW!

 

Thanks guys!

TAKoma907: are you in Anchorage, or elsewhere? I'd love to hook up w/ some local Taco owners to show me the ropes & some places to go play w/ my new toy.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Hey! Sorry I got this so late. I'm in Seward but I jet up to Anchorage every now and then. I'm new to the whole Tacoma scene too, I just got mine a month ago. If you ever come down this way PM me and we'll do a little meet and greet. It always cool to meet other owners and check out their rides

 

Welcome. Nice to see other Tacos from AK.

 

Oh and P.S. Great choice on the color of your truck!

 

Welcome and congrats on the truck!

Myself I'm getting the BFG KM2's for my truck when I get the cash...

 

welcome, just moved out of anchorage to the valley, i work in anchorage.......nice choice in front selection (kings) i almost went that route but the guy selling them seemed that he didn't want to get rid of them so i ordered the ultimate lift (toytec) i went with the ome dakar leaf pak for the rear and i would recommend them to you as I really like them. I just got back from vacation and saw this thread...

 

Thanks for the input guys/& gal! I would love to meet up w/ any of the Alaskan taco owners for a meet & greet if nothing else, and to check out the local rides. For those of you that are in Anchorage or within easy driving distance, I've stumbled upon a great shop that does nothing but build custom kick ass Toyotas. The name of the shop is Green Tree Fabrication. It is a small shop but the guys know their sh*t and specialize in all manner of Toyota magic. They are the ones who will be ordering my Kings and doing all of my work (they have great labor rates too). The owner's name is Dan, ask for him by name and tell him I sent you!
