    Why would a stock height truck need extended brake lines?? You can lift the Tacoma 3" and still not require extended lines, they're a waste of money on a stock truck unless they're stainless steel.

    Spend the $200 on something nice for the wife this time, then save more and tell her where the lift, tires... came from when the times comes. Might as well be honest, it goes a long way.

    And fab your own skid plate.

    I can follow you around and tell you how good your truck looks for $100.......easiest mod ever. But really, whaterer comes to your mind. I have yet to spend over $250 on any mod for my truck.

    You could get a set of front Wet Okole seat covers on the current group buy, if you don't go crazy on the options, for around $200.

    They don't. One day when I save enough cash and go mid travel they will come in handy. Thanks for the heads up though. If I had 200 bucks just laying around thats what I would do.

    hope you got them already because you may not be happy if you havent. I got a set from costco and the craftmanship was horrible. got plenty of pictures to prove it. I am still waiting on lance to redesign and send me a set and its been a month.
    here look at the tearing out of the box. there was countless runaway threads too. good thing costco has a good return policy

    Yes the weathertech mats are worth it, also maybe an ultra gauge.
