    Hello Tacoma World,

    Just thought I would finally post something here since ive been reading these forums for the last two months. I finally picked up a Tacoma, used it offroading a bunch already and am really wondering where to start in mod's. I got a 2006 Double cab long box, TRD sport package. Wondering if raising it 3 inches is enough. any input and thanks for info on the tempurature/compass fix, already did it ( my very first self fix i might add).


    BTW anyone from Canada? I see alot of american members.

    Hey welcome to TW from the great white north:canada:

    You will find after reading a ton of information that a 3 inch lift is more then enough for off roading. You will also find all kinds of information to improve the already mighty Tacoma. Have fun and looking forward to your build.
