Give Scott or Ryan a call.

 

New wheels and exhaust installed today! 3" lift and bigger tires are next...

 

Hey Jeff, it's your neighbor Scott (Think blue Roush 427R....) Looks like we have the same taste in vehicles I just put some $$$ down on a new DCSB in MGM like yours, but I got the Sport Pkg. since I really never off-road. Anyway, looking forward to see your truck's progression. I'll stop by and say hello after I get her.

Hey Scott! So, is the Mustang still around? That Roush was beautiful man! Looking forward to seeing the new Taco!

 

I wish I still had the Stang, but no. Long story, but I traded it on a Raptor. Then I traded the Raptor for a G37 convertible (don't ask). I decided to save a little $$$ and get back into a truck, so now the Taco. I should get it one day this week, so you'll see me driving past your house soon when I take my Wife for Fritz's.

 

Bumped into a local member a few nights ago in Arnold. I knew there were more of us. We need to go wheeling and get a group together.

 

I'm reppin down in Cape Girardeau! We have a few off-road parks down here. Outlaws is really nice, and bricks is fun but more of a mud oriented park. I'm game for a meet up!

 

I'm fixing to move down to the cape area in the next month. I was down there all day today

 

Hey everybody I just got a new tacoma a few months ago and im loving it. Im looking at getting a suspension lift but im curious at what everyones thoughts are. Im thinking between a 3-6 inch lift but id like to know what brands are recommended and just what you all know, tire sizes i could later put on etc. Everything on mine now is stock, it did come with skid plate and running boards but im looking forward to getting more accesories. Thanks for any input

 

Hey, welcome to the club! I am on my 5th Toyota truck, have loved all of them.

First off, I personally wouldn't be doing any lifting mods until warranty is up, unless there is an absolute need for extra clearance.

Second, figure out what you want it lifted for. If just for looks and you will never take it offroad, you could probably just do a simple spacer block lift and save some coin for other things. If you are looking for some additional offroad performance, you'll want one of the better kits.

Do some searching and reading on here, there are lots of options. The higher you go, the more likely you will start running into steering and driveline issues and more $ to get things working properly.

Personally, I like the looks of the ARB OME kit. Only about 2" of lift, but simple and all I personally would ever need, without getting into all the additional expenses of UCA's and adjusting the driveline.

Saw those, tempted on the shocks but they would sit for 5 or 6 years most likely, and I want to go with 5100's.

GLWS, post pics of your truck.

 

Dang. I wish you still had the leafs. I totally would have bought those.
