newbie here. ideas on what to buy?

new to tacoma world, iv got 2,500 from my service to this country to spend on my 2007 tacoma 4x4 4door and iv got no idea how my money would be best spent. i want to make the truck faster. iv heard chips are a joke though...hit me up with some ideas please.

 

supercharger.

 

welcome from pearland. you out of Ellington?

andrew said it best with a supercharger, but you got a 4x4. lift it!

 

Welcome from PA!

 

It's an endless circle!! Buy one thing and you'll be itchin for something else!!!
Welcome!!

I can agree with what Andrew said.... the best bang for the buck and real results in terms of speed - a Supercharger.

Do some research - as you might need to do 'other' mods along with it.

 

I vote lift & tires, bumper too

 

I appreciate your service to our country and welcome to TW! If speed is what you're looking for....supercharger, but I think it's gonna cost you more than $2500.

 

i ended up buying a cold air intake and getting dynomax unrestricted airflow exhaust. bakerla im from missouri citty next to stafford. so not too far from you. no i graduated from goodfellow air force base (butim in the army) and my unit is in conroe. i researched a few supercharges but they were way too expensive. i also reconsidered lifting it...and im thinking about a 6" fabtech with 35" tires. still got a good bit left so i might be able to lift it fefore i go off to college.

 

Maybe ill see up there sometime, assuming your at the airport. We drill next weekend.

 

what is your units MOS?

 

Aviation

 

oh yea, and get the most out of your money and get a 3in OME lift. plenty of us locals to help you install it and save you some money.

 

I'd pay off any outstanding debts. After that, I'd buy horsepower and accessories.

 

lift, wheels, tires, headers


Thank you for your service!

 

luckily im only 18 so no debts...yet. and my mos is firefighting. specifically ARF - airport rescue firefighter. so maybe i will see you at the airport. i was talking to my mechanic and he said that the headache for putting headers in wouldnt be worth the hp gain. true? and also that it would disconnect a sensor that set off the CEL. and would a 3inch lift be worth the money? could that fit 34" without rubbing?
