    Well, here she is. I got this truck in October of 2016, and it has been a trooper! I've only taken it on one "overlanding/adventure" trip so far. I drove over 2,000 miles to Big Bend National Park and back, and the truck did it without a hiccup. Although coming from a tuned/exhaust 5.3 Silverado and more recently a 2011 VW golf GTI 6sp, I can't help but want more power. The low-end torque makes up for the trucks lack of top-end power though. I shouldn't complain as I didn't by a Tacoma for speed, I bought for reliability,toughness, and 4wheeling, and it has shown to do all three things flawlessly! The truck came with icon UCA's,bilstein 5100, unknown front springs, and a 1-3/4" block out back. It's about a 3" lift up front I believe. The LT265-70/17 Bridgestone Duravis M700 tires came with the truck. These tires come standard on 2500,3500 diesel trucks, so let's just say the ride is rather harsh sometimes. When these wear out a bit more I will be purchasing some P rated tires for sure.

    Thanks for looking! IMG_4128.jpg IMG_4126.jpg IMG_4123.jpg IMG_3689.jpg IMG_3761.jpg IMG_4141.jpg

    Thanks! Yea i'm not a fan of spacers lifts or blocks under leaf springs :annoyed:. I lucked out with the front suspension, i guess whoever had the truck before me ran out of money after the front suspension was installed. :rofl:
