    Hey guys, i’ve got a 2018 tacoma in the sharp looking blue. Trying to decide some upgrades for it, just bought american flag tacoma stickers, plan to buy leather seats and maybe keyless start. Id like to see some pics of your guys upgrades. I just like my truck to look good. Dont wanna mud it but will use 4wd often on farm. Maybe 4” lift and some 33’s. How slow will that make my truck? It has the 3.5l now.

    Welcome to TW. Check the forums. Only about a bazillion pics of cool trucks including my SR5.

    Gotta say, I'm not a big fan of stickers. If you like it, go for it.

    I think a few guys had some issues with running aftermarket remote starts. Something about as soon as they open the door the engine gets killed or something like that.

    As for mods, we really need to know how you plan to use your truck before we make suggestions. Welcome to TW, the most active automotive forum like...ever.

    2.75-3” is the max lift for 4WD. You can go higher... but why? 33s will fit with some cutting at that height

    You will destroy your front CV joints if you lift over 3” in the front. You will have to do a diff drop. Check the vendors on this forum and you will find them, but you can make 33” tires work with a 3” lift. You will likely need to do a cab mount chop though. Search CMC for info on that. Check out headstrong off-road. Marie is active on here and she will be able to answer all of your suspension questions.
