    Hi all,
    Very happy to finally pull the trigger and join this forum. I've had a 4runner the last 5 years and when it was time to sell my wife's Kia Sorento, I didn't hesitate and got her the Tacoma she's always wanted.

    She says sometimes I display what I want onto our family, but that def doesn't sound like me at all, not sure what she's talking about.

    We got the truck in July and so far I've only added cosmetic / functional upgrades.
    Backflip bed cover, PRO grill, wind visors, a leather seat cover, and PRO predator steps - will save the sliders when my kids are a little older, the step helps them get into the cab.

    Next mods - stage 3 Bilsteins lift with 6112 / 5160 combo.... & Currently looking at tire options either sticking with the OR 16" rim and getting a 265/75/16 tire.
    My other options is getting SEMA PRO bronze wheels with either 265/70/17 or 275/70/17... Don't really want to trim anything but we'll see. Any recommendations & pictures are greatly appreciated!

    With a Tacoma and a 4runner I now have two different holes in my pockets, so it may be a few months lol

    In case you are wondering about the 4runner-
    16 4runner already on a Toytec lift 3" with Toyo Open country AT3'S.
    Next mods: T9 Head Unit, roof rack & ladder, Future future mods - front clearance bumperIMG_20200815_193308.jpg PXL_20201206_203527977.jpg

    Nice truck! Did it come with the roof rack or did you add that?

    @7kfeet It came with it! It also came with the blackout badging and the bed step, which has been really helpful. You can find them around $100-$150 out there if you are looking for one.

    That bed step is something I need to get, but I haven't seen them yet for that low. I'm in Las Vegas too.

    To be completely frank, the pic is from November , but I could probably pull off the tank and shorts on the right afternoon Lol.
    I do like snow however... Just rather see it on top of the mountains than my driveway!

    Yeah? I hear wildpeaks are way easier to balance and less noisy.
    Did you have to trim much?

    I have Eibach pro struts n shocks- 2” lift - no rubbing no trimming with the -10 offset wheels. KO2’s are great tires but known more for desert terrain and rock climbing etc. so I think there are far more comfortable, lighter, softer tires available if someone drives more on pavement. My last tires were Terra Grapplers which were much noisier. I think my next ones w be Falkens
