    Just bought my son his first toyota, 06 Pre-Runner.... Looking for some upgrades that we can work on together. Already looking at suspension, 3" lift/level kits, toytec, bilstein and rough country.

    Also want to look at an exhaust and intake, thinking dirty deeds for the exhaust and TRD for the intake.

    Appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, are you adopting? I'm 35 and almost married, but I'll build a truck with you!

    Your son is lucky, and I hope he appreciates you and enjoys the build time together. My first vehicle was a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.

    Picked up some used methods also. Anyone ever have issues with some light surface rust on their rims?

    Great job!

    Just remind him it's a Pre-runner, and not a 4X4. He has the clearance to go more places than a standard truck, but just not the traction...lol
