    Wheels tires, and maybe go up the the highest setting on the shocks then call it a day. Probably gonna tint it too. Think that's pretty much it. Gonna start working on the 95 again.

    That is correct sir. I blew the head on the last setup #nonintercooledftw so I sold the old kit, bought a new head, cosmetic head gasket and arp head studs. Gonna go with a bigger turbo, better manifolds (intake and exhaust), intercooler, and standalone. :)

    Did some mild offroading with a few other TW members and the shocks handled it extremely well. Also haven't sacrificed any comfort over stock for daily driving but I can tell the shocks rebound and settle much quicker than stock on big dips and bumps in the road.

    Some pics from the offroading session.

    Installed some Toyota running boards so my pregnant wife doesnt have a hard time getting in and out of the truck.

    I like that they're pretty subtle.

    Whoa, slow down I can't keep up with this build.

    Wait you have a kid now? Congratulations!

    I'm sure it will be sometime before the next upgrade. That will give me some time to catch up on your build.
