    I just picked up my first Taco < neat truck >. Just wanted to say hello.
    There are a lot of mod's I'd like to do as money permits. It seem as though that I am in the minority, in that I don't want to lift my truck, or at least as little as possable. The Tacoma has all the offroad ability I need, as is. But what I want is for better street handling with a little thought towards offroading. Seems to be a unique endever. Anyway hello and I'm glad to be here.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hey Dave, welcome! I felt the same way towards the lift and just had the leaf springs changed with the TSB which lifted the rear about 1.5 -2" and added a 2" spacer in the front to level it out. Just a thought. Good luck

    Hey - Delriv. I checked in to the TSB, and the dealer said I would have to prove it was a prob. and the tech's would have to duplicate it. Well ... It's not causing me a problem but I would like to have it done.

    Thanks everyone for the hello's. As long as I've been lurking I feel as though I already know you guy's.

    I buoght my truck used with 14k mi on the clock and very clean ( silver w/Black fenders, bumpers and grill ). I asked the dealer to trade wheels and tires from another Taco on the lot with mine and he did as part of the deal. Although mine is a bace modle it now has TRD 16" wheels with BFG 265/75's MT's on it.
