    Warning, long into post (the rest will be more succinct!)

    After joining and reading and reading and reading, I pulled the trigger on a 2019 DBCBLB (not sure of that abbrev there).
    It's "cement". Looks like shiny primer to me. I "almost" bought a Midnight Black 2020 short bed but it sold a few days before I made up my mind.
    We traded our beloved FJ 6-spd manual that had a frame rust issue.
    I had a TRD "extended cab" a long time ago but not very long before I traded it in for a 4Runner because I needed the space for passengers.
    So I am back to Tacoma.... however, on my way home, this cute chick (my wife) pulls up next to me in a lifted 2010 4Runner with a Sonoran Steel lift and Camburg ball-joint UCA's, & DeMello sliders and I feel like a shrimp. Ha!
    This needs to be addressed, after tires. Tires will likely be Falken Wildpeaks 265/75 16 on the stock wheels.
    This will be my first leaf-spring lift and I am looking for the equivalent of the Sonoran lift but Steve does not make a kit for Tacoma's.
    Who sells a complete kit, assembled fronts?
    I had OME's struts and springs on my first 4Runner and they were OK but the East Coast weather made the struts/shocks look like crap after one Winter. They worked fine but man, they was ugly. I really like the 5100's and the Tundra front springs on my (now the Mrs.') current 4Runner....I forget what the rear springs are. Something custom for the kit.
    This is a daily commuter with weekend trips to a cabin. A 2.5" to 3" lift that does not require re-engineering is the plan. The road in is 4x4 country and is pretty hairy in the Winter. No sweat in the Summer.
    No idea what to do at the back. Maybe some nice progressive AAL?
    Probably add a BackRack and some sort of box to stow the chainsaw and other dirty kit for the cabin. This truck will see a lot of firewood hauling.
    Also, our FJ was equipped with a lot of great racks for molle packs and a fire extinguisher and "stuff". I have not seen a lot of options for the Tacoma. Not as many flat spaces inside for racks. Still surfing in here for ideas.
    I had a cap on my first Tacoma but it was not very practical (but looked great). I will try to avoid that on this one. Maybe a tonneau. Not sure.
    Anyway, hello there.
    Mike
