    Hey everyone! New Taco owner, my first Toyota even. I was a Subaru guy for many years but after their most recent redesign they lost me because in my experience they have started building junk cars. But I digress.

    Just got my truck back after getting some new tires and a leveling kit. Put a set of Pro Comp A/T sport 285/70/16s on her, and I can't wait to go hit the trails on my next day off. I live in the Saint Mary's Glacier area of Colorado, so there are plenty of options right outside my door. I've already taken her up on the trails a couple of times, and boy does she love to climb, so I have no doubt that they will only get better from here on out.

    I've been lurking around this site since I bought the truck and it seems like a great resource for information anda great community of like-minded individuals, so I look forward to learning all sorts of fun tricks and tips about my new toy!

    Welcome. Curious what leveling kit you had installed. This is exactly the look I’m wanting for my new truck.

    I'm honestly not sure which kit it was, I had it installed at 4 Wheel Parts. I believe it was an inch and 1/2 strut spacer. I'm planning on doing an add a leaf and some 5100s in the back, it has a slight rear end sag and with my plans of putting a roof-top tent on the bed I definitely want to beef up the rear suspension a bit.

    Curious, ballpark how much did it cost to have them do it for you?
