    Here is my small build thread since I never posted one.
    stock 2x4 base automatic tacoma. second owner got it with 20k miles now has 29k miles 3k on the lift.

    31 10.5 15 all terrain pro comp tires
    15 inch method steel rims
    readylift kit rear and front

    the lift was hard and stiff at first but it has warn in and feels great.

    tires are a bit sluggish do to the wrong gear set, but I don't know if I want to regear or just save for my next truck. Plan on going and getting a 4x4 in the future, but I will hopefully keep this little guy around for my kids in 20 years :).

    goals and future items for the build
    total chaos or 5100 rear and 4600 front.
    regear or go down in tire size once these wear out or before. Would like to make this thing epic, but in saving for school in 2 years and don't know if I want to invest more into it unless it improves dramstically. Working to be a mechanic part time while I go through college. have a 5 lug truck meet that is epic.


    forgot one more photo for now! stock vs 31s

    :turtleride: Looks good! One edit though, method doesn't make steel wheels. They're just machined. Just FYI.
