    Hey TW,

    After lurking this forum for way too long, I finally got around to making an account and writing up this first post. I own a 2012 4x4 regular cab Tacoma (2.7L auto), and it's by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned!

    Although it has remained stock other than a camper shell, after doing some research through this forum and putting some money aside, I’m finally about to pull the trigger on some long overdue upgrades: a full OME suspension kit (885 springs + 90021 sport shocks + Dakar leaf springs), new FJ trail team wheels in black, and some 265/75/16 tires (either KO2’s or Duratrac’s). Build thread to come soon!

    Anyways, here are a few pics of my truck :woot:

    It's been a while, but I had to bump with my five new SCS F5 wheels - 16x8 4.5 BS in matte gunmetal :dancingbacon: Just picked them up from Vin in Oakland, and I can't wait to get them up and running!

    Welcome to TW, Ive head people have had good results in removing the secondary air filter for the 2.7L on getting a little bump in HP if you havent done so already.

    Just got paid, so if my local Labor Day tire sales treat me well, they will be on soon! I'll bump the thread once they're up :fingerscrossed:

    Looking forward to it man, this was my old RC
    and my current base model 4-cyl 5-spd AC.

    I've been eyeballing the SCS F-5s bad!
