    if you look at my build, stereo DONE (just need double din), exhaust DONE. nothing will be polished on this truck since it has the blacked out theme so anything billet/polished etc will get powder coated sooner or later... Interior already got a quote for which is 2K for what im going to do which is all the seats and the flooring.
    Power adder will be the last thing i do to it since my stang is getting twin turbos first and an engine swap.

    It will be ultimately towing my mustang on an open alumn. trailer so i can show both of the vehicles together.

    I appreciate all the feed back on the lift question though :)

    Well i might be moving back to MD in the future so i need to be careful with that lol.. DE has tire laws, where your tire cant stick past your fender and at this point they could get me for mine because it sticks out slightly from my stock fenders but we will see when i go through inspection for the first time

    If you plan on towing frequently, I'd definitely keep the 3" lift. Interested to see your truck after you're 'done' with it (quoted because you're never really done with a Tacoma I've found out).

    oh I will, I just wanted to know mechanically whats the better choice of doing not necessarily look wise. The only thing close ive had to this truck was a 95 4x4 1500 Chevy truck with 35s for mudding on it lol so im new to all this with this truck as far as lifts.


    wont find it there lol

    After looking at your build thread I would say ditch the step bars and nerf bar and get some sliders and a steel bumper. would look a lot better.

    thanks for the opinion with that... it will be done sooner or later b/c its my daily and really not my main show vehicle. The real expensive stuff wont come until my mustang is done which is the main show vehicle.

    I think your truck looks pretty kickass as is. I've had alot of lifted trucks in ths past (see avatar) & more lift always equals more problems & $$ in the long run.

    I was also debating going from a 3" to a 6" a couple years ago but decided to stay with my 3". I heard 6" doesnt give you more clearance and you have to cut to make the drop bracket fit. I say stick with the 3".;)
