    If anyone is interested I just took off a Aero Turbine (AT2525XL) exhaust system. Installed for under two years. Long story short its a Gibson SS pipe and tip with the Aero welded in place of the gibson muffler.

    Looking to get $100 for the system (cat back).

    Local only.

    pm me your email or cell number for pics.

    Hey guys,

    I've got an 07 TRD Sport 4x4 running on Hankook DynaPro ATM tires. Anyways, I was thinking of lifting it. Problem is I don't have the tools to do it at home. Do you guys know of any reputable shops in the Chi area that do this kind of work?

    Thank you!

    Assuming cmc is cab mount chop? No, I am leaving my Taco stock. Just wanted to see what one is and how to do one. And meet some fellow Taco owners.

    Depending on what lift I may be interested in doing the install for you. I don't have alot of free time but if you can wait a litle bit I am sure I can save you some money.

    I dont use shops for anything.

    If you are in the burbs... Autopractor in St. Charles 630-444-1414 does a ton of toyota lifts. Spacer lifts are around $250 installed with alignment and full blown Lifts are $350 to $450 if they are not cross member lifts..

    Thanks guys! let me look into what kind of lift I might want and go from there. I haven't done any offroading yet, but I'd like to go with you guys one of these times. So I guess for the most part, the lift is for looks. Plus I work downtown Chicago where most of the parking structures have low ceiling height. So I gotta keep that in mind as well in figuring out which lift, and how high.

    edit: I'm out in Westmont, btw.

    Got Peter (LoadedTaco)'s cab mount chop done rather quickly on Saturday! I used the Plasma to do the chop instead of an angle grinder...I will never use the grinder again!

    In my haste I didn't snap a single photo...maybe he will post some up when he gets a chance.

    Thanks for coming out and visiting Indiana, Peter! "D
