I'm tired of having a stock Tacoma

Bought a new Tacoma in 2012 and kind of fell into some money while deployed to Afghanistan. I know very little mechanically speaking and was looking for a shop in southern MD that could hook me up. Tires, rims, lift, etc... any advice or a good azimuth would be awesome!! YUT YUT!!

 

Dude, You're a Marine. Dont blow your Load real quick. Like the guy above said. Look at the Mid Travel Coilover section and do it Right the first time.

 

Is your Tacoma 4wd or 2?

 

Former Marine man. I'm a deployed Gov. Civilian right now and have some extra money saved up.

 

I didnt realize they made em in 2WD its a 4WD TRD package and all that. Four full doors and the short bed

 

This is all I've ever done to the suspension and I've never needed more even when hitting some pretty gnarly mud, snow and ruts. I fish and hunt off the road quite a bit. Our trucks already have better approach angles than about any full size. Lifts are for trail monsters, or people who just want the look.

 

Haha. I thought "once a marine, always a marine".
Anyway, welcome to TacomaWorld. I haven't upgraded my suspension yet but here is what I'm going with.

Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 5 setup from SDHQ Off-road.
285/70/17 D517 Krank wheels from Fuel Wheels.
Toyo MT tires.

I'll end up adding a Dakar rear leaf pack eventually for more load capacity in the bed and some icon bumpstops

 

dude just drop 13 grand on some long travel, fiberglass, and some 35's and get it over with. your gona wana do it once you learn more about these trucks anyway lol. welcome to the site buddy!
