Country girl wanting a Tacoma

https://santamaria.craigslist.org/cto/5559451691.html

 

I found a truck! Bought it last weekend. It's an 06, 4wd. Automatic. I just want to lift it a few inches and a black bull bar attached to a silver skid plate and different headlights. Any opinions on lifting it?

 

I didn't mean to post the same pics.. but anyway what do y'all think?

 

Nice truck! I really like TRD Sports, but I can't help you with the lift. Plenty of members on TW are very knowledgeable about lifts and I'm sure some will chime in shortly. Congrats on the new ride.

 

please no bull bar...

 

Also wanna do something with the fenders, maybe some black bush wacker fender flares,

 

OME for lift plus not that bad on pricing and you get a good lift

 

I like the bull bar lol, not so much the crome ones though. I'm just not big on crome anything.

 

finally!
I forgot about you.
nice truck. I have a '07.
drive it for a while before you lift it.

 

For lifting options, you probably want to go Bilstein 5100s up front and AAL in the back (if you want to go as cheap as possible) If you're looking for better ride quality, consider OME or even Fox/King. But those are considerably a lot more expensive.

 

Is that like a leveling kit?

 

aren't you out of $, after buying the truck? how much did u pay?

 

Bilstein 5100s are adjustable shocks for the front that will level the truck.

 

Damn clean for a 10 year old truck. Nice find.

 

Nice truck especially one 10 years old.

 

All I see is a bunch of overgrown, controlling apes fighting over a pretty lady that they'll never have a shot with (you know who you are, boys ).
My recommendation:

Drive the truck the way you want and how you want to, do some research in the 2nd gen threads, see what you like, and make practical choices for what you want out of the vehicle. You can spend a lot of hard earned cash that you don't need to on things that aren't always practical to your needs, or functional.

For example: You don't need a full on coilover suspension with reservoirs on your truck if you're never going to go offroad it much; inexpensive leveling spacers work fine if you just want a little bigger tire, occasionally hit the dirt & mud, and the truck will still ride just fine.

A truck's looks and personality will be a reflection of your choices of upgrades and accessories and make it truly your truck. You can always do more mods down the road as your lifestyle and budget changes. Keep it simple.

 

Hey Member all I said was nice truck for being 10 years old, but your reply was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!!!

 

Do you have a guilty conscience? I wasn't quoting anyone specifically.

 

Hey Member I know you weren't... just figured no one who was doing that would reply.
