    I just bought a bone stock 99 sr5 access cab and i'm looking for some ideas to make it look a little nicer, right now i'm looking at a lift and some bigger tires but after that i'm at a loss. I'd like to do something with the grill and headlights but don't know where to start. Thanks ahead of time

    i love that this is your first post aha. should post a pic of your truck as is. Lift and tires are pretty standard stuff and you should have no trouble finding loads of examples online. As far as grill you could do a satoshi* and a member on here makes real nice retrofit headlight. Look through peoples builds for ideas aswell https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/1st-gen-builds-1995-2004.102/

    stick with suspension/spindle lift. 3" body lifts look horrible on these and there have been issues with the extra stress on the mounts.

    5 lugger? I'd vote to slam it with 4Runner front end and a rear roll pan.

    Not real big on lowered trucks but anywho I just "inherited" (for lack of a better word) a 12" subwoofer and I was wondering if it can be attached straight to the factory deck or not

    Oh i forgot to ask if it was auto or 5 speed. There are alot of people (including me) looking for a 5 speed 5 lugger to lower with alloys and use as a daily driver/street truck. If its auto your better off selling as is.
