    Hello, ladies and gents, I would like to introduce myself to this forum. My name is Daniel I just recently purchased my first Tacoma last Wed. Being a full-size truck owner for many years It was hard to convince me to even purchase a Tacoma but after plenty of research and test drives, I can say that I made a very good decision. I'm hoping to get everyone's feedback on building this Taco up. Thank you!

    Welcome, looks like a decent build so far, last year before TSS, looks like 2wd? @dal3_gribble has probably one of the nicest 2wd builds I've seen on here, check his out for some ideas! Enjoy the new truck!

    Thanks, man I appreciate it. Yeah, it's a 2wd trd offroad package. What has me confused it came with a rcd lift. I don't if that's a factory or what has Bilstein shocks all around. Tire size is a 285/70/17

    Not factory just Bilstein components. RCD is usually drop bracket stuff. Got any suspension pics?

    No rush, just to give you an idea of what you're going with. RCD is pretty solid, not a rough country or pro comp type lift.
