    Tint, Aries Powdercoated Bull Bar
    Hey Tacoma World. New to posting in the forum, but have done hours of research. Factory black 08 TRD sport, nothing great yet. Powder coated Aries Bull Bar, Alpine Head Unit and Window tint. Next Week: Black Enduros 17x9, 265/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs. Pretty stoked about that. Would like to do 3" lift but is a DD right now. Need to do more research and possibly get better gas mileage car before lifting. From the pictures I've seen on here, the 3" lift looks BA. Makes the truck look so much better. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Will post pics with new wheels and tires. Not sure how the black wheels will look on factory ride height.

    welcome from Rocky Mount. forget the better gas mileage car idea, it will take 5 to 10 years to make up the diffrence you will be saving in gas. unless you get something that cost like $1,000. by the time you by a diffrent car, pay taxes and insurance, plus upkeep, it is more trouble than its worth. just lift it and enjoy it.:D

    The big town of Drexel. Love it here. Been through asheboro a bunch when I moved to Fuquay-Varina for a couple years. If I had to move down east again it would be off 751. Loved that area.

    Been looking at the 3" toytec ultimate lift kit. How do you like it? 3" lifts on these trucks really set them off
