    Hey everybody, My name's Ryan, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Brevard, NC. New to the site, looked on here for tips/tricks/ideas for several years but just recently joined the site. I sell insurance at Nationwide in Brevard, if any TW members are ever interested in a free quote.

    I drive a 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 4.0L V6 Double Cab Short Bed in Silver Streak Mica.I bought it new in July of 2009 from Toyota of Easley, SC. I currently as of this posting only have barely over 29,000 miles on odometer, so still pretty new, not even broken in yet. ;)

    I've done quite a few mods to my truck and I believe I'm about "done" modding, but let's be honest, none of us are ever "done" modding, am I right? LOL

    So far I have installed:

    Wheels & Tires:
    295/55R20 Nitto Trail Grappler Mud Terrain Tires
    BMF Novakane 6 20x9 Death Metal Black Wheels (w/ locking Gorilla lug nuts)

    Suspension:
    3" Toy-Tec Spacer Lift
    Bilstein 5100 Series Shocks (Front/Rear) 0 setting

    Performance:
    Banks Monster Cat Back Exhaust
    K&N 63 Series Cold Air Intake
    AFE Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer
    Power Stop - Extreme Truck & Tow Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors & Pads

    Looks:
    Black Headlights
    Black LED Tail Lights
    Black LED Third Brake Light
    8000K HID Headlights
    8000K HID Fog Lights
    LED Interior Lights (Map & Dome)
    LED Parking Lights
    LED Reverse Lights
    LED License Plate Lights
    Genuine Toyota Rubber Bed Mat
    Black Billet Grille (5 Piece)
    3" Stainless Steel Oval Nerf Bars
    35% All Around Tinted Windows
    Smoked License Plate Cover
    Genuine Toyota Door Sill Protectors (4 Piece)
    Smoked Fog Lights (haven't installed yet)

    Before anyone posts anything, I know alot of you think it's dumb to run a spacer lift period let alone with 5100's. I get it. I had originally had the spacer lift installed, then added the shocks later as a heavier duty shock, when time/money allows I plan on removing the spacer lift, and running the 5100's at 2.5" lift w/ a 1/4" Toy-Tec Top Plate Spacer to achieve the 3" lift needed for clearing these tires, which by the way do not rub even a full turn surprisingly. My previous wheel/tire setup rubbed pretty bad....305/55R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on KMC XD Series 20x9 Spy Wheels (Black/Machine finish)....I still have these for sale if anyone is interested!!

    Love the site, looking forward to meeting some fellow Tacoma owners and learning more about my truck and how to improve it!
