    Hello everyone, I'm not new to Tacoma World, I've always used it for lots of great advise. But I've never created an account for my truck but recently I've done a little work and a few modifications to it and plan to do a lot more so I thought I'd share my progress so far.

    Here she is the day I went and looked at buying her.
    1998 with 209kmiles, original owner with all maintenance records askink $6k
    I talked him down and paid $5,200 cash and drove her home.

    My first thought was the tiny tires had to go and I needed at tool box so I bought a set of Kenda Klever M/T in 32x11.50 and stuffed them under with no lift . Needless to say I had quite a bit of rubbing.

    So once I had all the rubbing I could handle I bought a spacer lift and AAl for the rear. I plan on upgrading in the future. I put the lift on myself in about 3 hours.i also bought Mickey Thompson Classic II with 3 5/16 backspacing for a wider stance.

    I didn't take enough pictures before the lift but here are a few after and with the new wheels.

    And then I had to prove it's not just a mall crawler, I had to go get a little dirty. I didn't really plan on getting stuck but hey it happens lol
