    Nice.

    I enjoy thearea greatly. I bought my first knowing about some issues. New roof ac/heat hardwood paint interior and ext etc. when I finally sold I made off very well for the time and money spent.

    I've got a question for you guys. I haven't ever really "modded" a vehicle. I want to add a few things to this Tacoma. I have no plans to go to a larger than stock tire. I will also build a matching Tacoma trailer to tow.

    Must haves are:
    Bed Stiffeners
    Camper shell
    Sliders with kickout/step plates(SOS Concepts)
    Cab/Camper rack(Prinsu)
    Trans cooler with scan gauge


    Somewhere b/t must have and want
    Headlight/fog wiring harness upgrade



    Wants:
    Front Bumper with full hoops(SOS)
    Rear Bumper(SOS)
    Skids(all 3)(SOS)
    4runner brake swap(I understand I will need to go 17" rims.....want the FN Pro)
    Shit I have not yet run across

    Now for the question.........I don't mind spending money on a suspension kit if I need it, but don't want one just to have one. Do you guys think I'll need to add a lift kit for all the things I want to add? If so, Will the OME(886 or 887) with Dakar springs fit the bill?

    You don't technically have to have a lift, but if you plan to wheel it, you'll want one for the ground clearance as well as larger tires for the ground clearance. Now, if you're building a mall crawler, lift not needed.

    My uses will just include camping/kayaking. The stuff that isn't on my "must have" list will essentially be for looks :D and may very well not ever happen. I don't actually need anything that's on the "want" list. The only thing I will have that isn't a necessity is the matching Tacoma trailer :rofl:

    Cool. As much as I would like to have a bigger tires, it's just not needed for how I'll use this truck. I also don't want to spend money on regearing and all other associated costs that come along with the tires. Plus, if I end up with all the shit I want and find out I need the lift to keep things at stockish height......so be it :D
