    Just got an 08 Tacoma 4.0. It’s my daily. Decided to join here to learn and get feed back on pros and cons for upgrades. It has a 3” leveling kit on it and 285/70 R17 tires. I wanna lift it and get bigger tires. I’ve been reading a lot on here about different ways to lift these and what’s better to do and not do. Anyways I’m just here to ask the beginner questions that most of you probably know the answers to :)

    Welcome.

    are you in a happy relationship with your significant other?

    if the answer is yes. Leave. Your pocket book is about to take a crash vacation.

    Haha I’ve been noticing EVERYTHING is so expensive! The good stuff anyways, I’ve always wanted a Tacoma so I’m stoked to start this building journey with it.

    It's the price you pay to play with 4wd. But now you have TacomaWorld where you can learn how to do it yourself and "save" a bunch of money doing mods you wouldn't have otherwise known you even "needed" :thumbsup:

    Exactly!! I’ve been around the 4x4 world for awhile but haven’t had the chance to have my own and do all the stuff myself so it’ll be a fun learning journey for me! I’m glad I was told about this site I’ve already learned a bunch
