Former Jeep Jk owner sucked in to the tacomaworld!!!

Whats up guys? Just got my 07 tacoma yesterday and love it so far. Traded in my 07 Jk wrangler for it. I loved the jeep. I did many modifications to it, grew attached to it but got sick of the little space and no room for things.

I like the tacomas for their mean looks, they are somewhat easy to customize and I think can take me anyplace the jeep could have but with more room, power, ability to tow, and 4 doors is awesome too.

I plan on painting my wheels black, adding a CAI and Exhaust. Maybe a small lift to fit 33's.

do they sell the hood scoops? or the hoods with the hood scoops? how much?

any advice on what to buy as far as first mods?

Also any links to good threads like Tacomas in beautiful places, Mudding, Snow driving, wheeling?

I want to see everyones tacoma

heres mine



heres what i traded in for it

 

Welcome to TW

 

nice jeep...even nicer tacoma!

 

Welcome to TW, yes they sell the hoods but i think you might have to go through the dealer. and take a look around TW you'll find all the info you need
nice jeep.

 

welcome, yeah they do sell the hood with the scope. i have seen some on here selling for around 150 but dont know if thats the average cost. i know under the 2nd gen builds part in the topic section has everyones truck that they have modded

 

Welcome to the site!!

 

Dang that's a pretty nice Jeep and Welcome to TW from VA. It seems like alot of people on this site are using Billstein leveling struts for 2.5" of lift for the front with a set of AAL's on the back. Thats what I did anyway but now considering an RCD lift kit from Wheeler's Off Road. The skies the limit man....enjoy!

 

Welcome.

 

Man all you guys saying nice jeep is making me want it bacl

Haha oh man. what have i got myself into.

I really hope this tacoma can take me offroad like that jeep haha.

Besides, I needed the 4 door, truck bed, and towing capabilites

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Nice Jeep & Tacoma. Welcome to the forum!

You gave up a solid axle for IFS?? Oh wait, did it have a Dana 44 under there?

You mentioned about wanting a 'small lift' to fit 33's?? What do you consider a small lift?

Just kidding.....

 

Welcome - where in CO?

 

lol the rear was a dana 44. No lockers. Front is a D30 it was the 2nd one since i bent my first axle.

Will 33's fit without rubbing with my stock suspension.

What do the tacomas come with better yet my tacoma lol. Its an 07 trd off road edition.

I just got sick of the jeep man. Ya it can do good offroad, but thats about it! You cant tow with it, no room in there, no truck bed.

Im in Denver

I have a lot to learn about this tacoma!

I plan on blacking out the emblems, the wheels and tail lights.

 

welcome... your jeep is sick!

 

That would be a - HELL NO!!

To fit 33's on a tacoma, you need more like 3" or more plus a combination of other things. Search around, you'll find out what you need to fit 33's.

I had a YJ for many years. Swapped Waggy 44's under it, ARB's. cage, the whole deal. Sold it last summer. Great fun!!

 

lol... Well I dont plan on a lift and tires for a while. But for now I want to black out all the emblems and tail lights. Get an intake and exhaust...

I am surprised how much power this Tacoma has!!!!! Its very fast,and you can tell it has a lot of torque. The power I really like. That was something the jeep was missing. No Balls at all

 

I run 33" terra grapplers. I have 2.75" King COs with resi, Total Choas UCAs, King rear shocks with resi, and dakar leafs. No rubbing and the suspension is awesome

 

I have 33s with a 2" lift. Just get 255/85/16 instead of the more popular 285/75/16.

 

I have 265 75 16 on now. are those 33's? Man being so into the jeep world I know everything about lifts and suspension for them, but this tacoma suspension is a new languaige for me lol.

I have a lot to learn!
