    I bought my Tacoma back in March and have been lurking around here the past few months picking up tips and reading how-to's. Recently decided to make an account and get a little more active on the forum.

    I've got an automatic regular cab 4x4 with about 230k miles and absolutely no rust being a southern Arizona truck. The previous owner had it for 16 years and took great care of it based on all the service records he's given me.

    Mods so far have been:
    -Dynamat the whole interior
    -Swapped bench for buckets and center console
    -Swapped to white faced gauges with tach
    -Intermittent wipers
    -Added a small JBL powered sub
    -22" light bar behind the bumper
    -TRD accessory bumper skid
    -22REthan's stainless skid plate
    -and most recently the full OME lift with Dakar springs

    In the future I'm planning for a supercharger (current 0-60 is 15.53s...), ARB rear locker, sliders, a rear tube bumper and hopefully then I'll stop wasting my money.

    A few pics showing the day I got it up until yesterday

    Looks to be in great condition. Amazing how tires can transform the appearance.

    Thanks y'all. And yea, I think the tires and offset on the wheels made the biggest difference in terms of looks.

    Just found an E-locker diff for sale for $500. I'm wondering if that's a good price and if it'll just swap in to mine. The gear ratio seems to be the same as mine but it has ABS while my truck doesn't.

    Is there anything else I need to look for to make sure it's what I'd need? Also, is the wiring harness hard to find or expensive?

    This is a really old thread haha. I've had the seats for awhile but thanks for asking. This is what the truck looks like now.
