    Your truck is already pretty gnarly...why not go LT? The cost is kinda high, but you could probably score a 3.5" kit for pretty cheap

    Yea I'll def just go LT since I have coils now. Then I'll probably just start doing stuff like back bumper/tire carrier cage seats harnesses etc

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Ooh, mix up some acetone in your paint and do a hammer toned white or metallic hammered red. Make sure to look up the right ratio for your paint if you decide to do this
