Checking In New Tacoma Owner

Malithgo · Aug 23, 2015

Hey TW members,

I've been lurking this site hard since I pick up my tacoma in July, but finally got around to do some mods so I figured I make a post.

Here is the truck when I first brought it home (after I plasti dipped the emblems)

Base 4x4 2014 dcsb with 20K miles. Bought it when I went to the dealer to look at buying another Silverado. So far, no regrets!

Got a steal on some hardly used Nitto MTs from a fellow Tacoma owner off Craigslist. He ran then for 2K and his wife didn't like them. We hit it off and he sold them to me for $500!!

285 65 18.. Didnt want wheels that big, but couldnt pass up the discount initially. I know it will cost more in the long run, but at least they'll look sick. I live in the DC area now so I'm not really that worried because there is hardly anywhere to wheel. If there is other NOVA or MD members, hit me up!!! I'll hopefully get 35s for more sidewall eventually.

Despite the common understanding that it blows here on TW, picked up pro comp 3 inch kit. It'll get me there while I make up my mind between mid travel and long travel.

Fun weekend of installation. Thanks for everyone here whos posted on strut/add a leaf installs. Helped a lot!

Some shots with lift. So far not as stiff and miserable as everyone makes it out be on here, but have not been offroad. I get downtravel sucks with 720 lb springs lol

Black Method NVs come in tomorrow. Will post some picks when I get them mounted with the Nittos.
