    Working on a 3" lift with a rim and tire package to fill the extra space.
    Hello everyone,

    I recently acquired my first Tacoma. Its a 2WD White '09 DCLB TRD Sport. Its an upgrade from my White Regular Cab '94 Toyota Pick-up. However, I did decide to keep my little truck.

    I reside in Southern California's Los Angeles area. I try to spend my spare time (If I'm lucky enough to find any) in the outdoors. My family and I mainly enjoy camping, hiking, fishing and target shooting. My son had been begging me to get a newer truck for a few years now. Naturally a Toyota was my only choice. So after a long few months of searching, I found her. What a beaut I've gotta say. But, there is something missing. I have this need to lift and upgrade. Because of this I came across all of you on this forum and just felt like this was the most helpful and fun group of guys I have come across. So here I am.

    They sure are. I only work a few miles from home so you can imagine how low the mileage is.
