    I was active on here back in 2011/2012 when I had a 2006 TRD OR PreRunner: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lift-is-in.89845/#post-1709025

    I sold that truck in 2012, and have had a few cars in the interim. I few weeks ago I picked up a 2014 TRD OR 4x4.
    Found it at a local used dealer, and it already had a lift and wheels.
    Lift:
    Toytec + Bilstein 5100 3" Front
    I am still trying to figure out the rear, but it looks like an AAL + a very small block.
    Wheels/tires:
    16x8. American Racing AX201
    265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak

    It had/has a few other goodies, like Rigid ditch lights, Decked rear drawers...

    So far I have added a roof rack, side steps, short antenna, removed/sold the Decked drawer system, Partially debadged the tailgate, and removed the ditch lights (want to go a different route).
    I also ordered 1/4" suspension spacers from Toytec to get a tad more height in the front, especially since the rear came up slightly after removing the Decked Drawers.

    I also have a long list of things I want to do, like bigger wheels/tires, headlights, taillights, etc., etc..

    Anyway on to some pics (I will try to update over time as well)

    Day I brought it home:

    Just make sure to use it at least once a month to keep everything moving and lubed up.

    Added Toytech TP14 (1/4” suspension spacer). Helped to level things out a bit.

    Also put in a 2” wheel spacer. I know some people are against this, but I am okay with it, and like the look much better.

    3rd gen came out and the whole place went to hell.

    There’s a reason we have a new section in the green room called the Dumbgeon.
