    Lurking for a while but never posted.....recently picked up my 2nd Taco, a 2015 4x4 TRD Sport DBL CAB L/B back in November, upgraded from a 2005 4x4 TRD Off Road Access Cab with 153k miles that I had also bought new....so far I have put a set of 265 BFG A/Ts, Toytec 3" lift and an ARE cap. All the tech threads and info people have shared have been great.

    About me... I am a mechanical design engineer, I am into motorcycles....at one time I was big into camping and dirt bikes and rode all the time, then family came along so my days in the dirt vanished. I could not let motorcycles go, so I found an old 1968 Triumph basketcase and bent some tube and welded up a hardtail, built the engine...and 3 years later I finished it. I am also into boats, I have a 1984 Mastercraft Stars and Stripes that we spend a ton of time on in the summer. My son isn't so much into the same things I am, I like motorcycles with loud engines and spending time in the garage... he plays hockey, so we spend a lot of time in the Taco jumping from rink to rink.

    Looking forward to contributing.
    Thanks,
    SS

    Thanks!
    Lift didn't change ride all that much, you can always keep the same springs and do a spacer lift to keep the same feel. On my previous Taco I had AALs until I started cracking leafs then I replaced them with the Dakars. I like having the Dakars on the rear for towing, which is why I went with them right away this time.

    Welcome,

    I just got the same truck. Do those tires fit on the taco without the lift?

    PEACE
