    For parts you mean with lift right? I was gonna do OME 884 coils, but then I'd get front diff vibes, so I have to look into the ecgs bearing and how hard of an install it is or a new axle. So if not that, I plan to buy some slightly used TRD sport coils and set billies to 1.75 in front using most OEM hardware except some bushings. In the rear, I was gonna put a progressive 3leaf aal if I get the 884s, but if I don't, I'll just get a single 1.5" lift aal, new ubolts, center pins, bumpstops.

    Yeah, probably do that, and get bigger tires in the future - my parents would not let me buy new tires with perfectly good ones on it already, I'll just deal with it for the next year or so. I dont really have a need, more of a want, and I am trying to save up money for it. I just created a build page by the way: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-builds/317022-mtopps-my-first-truck-build.html#post8239648

    So today was such a nice day that i decided to clean my truck up. Well my dad thought it was the perfect weather to do yard work so after I cleaned my truck we cut down some bushes and yes we did take more than one trip. neither trips could we see at all behind us :eek:

    Where we uhhh dispose of these is at the beginning of an off-road trail so my truck didnt stay clean for long with this wash even though we just went to the start :rolleyes: (yes i know people get them dirtier than this just not an hour after a wash :p)
    [​IMG]
    Also fixed a dash squeak temporarily with a paper towel

    So my suggestions would be some fender flares and bigger tires. I wish I could have gotten some wider tires, but the stock alloys are only 7" wide. 8s should handle wider tires then 9.5"s. Also maybe some mud flaps. I like mine. Helps keep her clean :)

    I think I'm getting some flares for my bd :D with the tires I bought them when I had the stock wheels and they didn't recommend wider :rolleyes: next time I'll go bigger for sure! :) for the flaps I'm iffy on them. But thanks for the advise!

    That's why I like flares and mud flaps. Keeps the crap off. I have OEM flares and 1" wider tires, and my tires barely stick out of the flares. They are not cheap though. Kind of rediculous for some plastic. Not bagging on your truck, just personally, I don't think tees trucks look good without flares
