    New Tacoma owner here. Owned a 1998 and a 2006 both with the stick. Last weekend there was a car show in Austin. All sorts of pretty vehicles to see. My buddy's kid found this one especially pretty:

    Can't say I disagreed. And a couple days later, it just showed up in my driveway!!!

    Now I already have a fairly capable off roader that I built:

    So the objective of THIS Truck is to pull a little boat with 'class'

    Idea is to keep the lift 2" or so and put some shoes under there that won't rub.

    Did a little research, and came across a kit I feel is up to the requirements:

    Suspension:
    Headstrong off-road has the performance bilstein kit. It's on order with strut assembly set to 2 and a Deaver AAL. (link for the curious http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p186/Performance_Bilstein_Kit_(HS05BK-2).html)
    Not really sure what the net lift will be with this combo, so if any of you all have experience with it, feel free to chime in.
    Total Chaos UCA

    Interior:
    I read a thread where the Clazzio leather seat covers are the shiznit. Hey, if you spell 'Classic' like a god-damned millennial you have to be good right? So I ordered a set.
    I was bored surfing the web and found Amazon had a LED interior light kit for $16. Amazing how easy that '1-click order' button is.

    Armor:
    Liked the BAMF sliders, so they're ordered. According to the lead time I should get them right around my AARP card.
