    Greetings! Im a new member and excited to see so many articles about Tacoma truck here. I am a retired Navy Security Forces and just bought my retirement 2022 TRD Sport MT 4x4. So far I loved my Taco except the initial move, It feels like its lacking power. However, once its rolling it feels good. I got 1200 barebone miles on it hope to break it in faster to explore her potentials. So far, I have modified and installed a full Bilstein kit and the UCA JBA on it and I like the buttery ride. Got me the TRD wheels and Falken tires as well. Thanks for the add and looking forward to interact with everybody.

    Welcome aboard matey:hattip:
    Have those same wheels and love em but they’re as high maintenance as wheels get. I recommend Dr Beasley’s matte wheel seal or something similar (for matte specific wheels) once a month to prevent brake dust from pitting, as our wheels do not have a protectant clear-coat layer.

    Just installed my Icon Add a Leaf this morning. Retained and re-use my overload OEM springs for stronger rear springs. It gave me at least a 2” lift with the retained overload spring. Love the look now. Tested it at Home Depot today, loading it with rocks and the back didn’t even budge. It was a nice upgrade.

    Bro I did a Bilstein 6112 in front paired with JBA upper control arm and did a 5100 rear paired with Icon Add a Leaf. I did the 17” TRD pro rims paired with Falken Wildpeak AT tires 275/75/r17 for a no trimming body parts conservative look. Let me know if planning to do the same and I can help you out. I did all the labor on mine, its a pain to do it but have save me tons of money.

    Thanks, waiting for more fundings to do more. Its getting tight now on the budget. At least got all my suspension’s done and the tires and rims which is I believed the most expensive parts on the build project. I uploaded more recent photos for everyone.
