    Finally bought my own vehicle, a 2015 Tacoma, that I had purchased last year and decided to join the forums for feedback, tips, or advice.

    I took a few pictures, but I'll be adding some modifications soon next week.
    Modification plans: lift kit, exhaust system, side steps, tonneau cover, rims&wheels, and tinted windows.

    I went to my Toyota dealership to get some stuff recalibrated, and decided to get a quote for the lift kit and labor work which came out to about $2,200.
    Does that sound about right, I might just buy the parts myself and try to get them installed somewhere else.

    Also what do you guys recommend I lift my Tacoma up to?
    I've seen some about 2 or 3 inches which look nice, but I want my Tacoma to look bad ass not just nice...

    I don't know that he's the foremost authority on lifts, but he's got a lot of good info. :notsure: From what I've seen around here at least.
