    Just did the badges on my truck. I really need to redo the badges on the tailgate they look like s**t! But, it was my first time doing it so I guess it wasn't too bad. IMG_7935.jpgIMG_7936.jpg

    I bought my truck leveled, so to me that is stock... but if you get down to the real thing, I have no idea because my shocks look like they were bought at walmart and the leafs are so mangled that the truck sits at 3 different positions depending on what side you look..

    All i know is that I want to buy some new rear leafs for a reasonable price. Along with some Bilstein shocks

    Any suggestions on leafs?

    Did my back bumper a few days ago. Will have to post up some pictures.
    I think it looks 100% better than the chrome.

    I used to like the look of my chrome, then I switched over my grille. I really liked the look after that.
    Chrome looks so great polished, but takes lots of love to keep it that way.

    I just traded my color matched grille for a chrome one:D Now I am trying to swap rear bumpers to complete the look.

    I had a 1st gen 4runner and it had a chrome front bumper and I loved it. Never seen it that way on a 2nd gen taco though. Maybe there is someway to convert one...

    So have you looked at the label on your tires to see what size they are?

    If you want some great flex look into a Chevy 63" Leaf Spring Swap. Just need a good fabricator to weld up some shackles since the stock ones won't work. I plan on doing this once I get the kit from Ruff Stuff and a leaf pack from a junk yard

    Exhibit A @dakotasyota has a sweet set up
    [​IMG]

    These are good too but if you want dat flex go with Chevy's

    Yeah I know dakota haha. That's a decent bit more involved, probably more costly. Toyota isn't gonna reimburse for that I don't think. Either way it's a pita

    Definitely more involved but $50-100 for a leaf pack and $226 for the swap kit isn't bad. Depending on how much a fabricator charges, you could be right around the same price for some Darkars. And if you ever need a new leaf pack later on down the rode, replacing it would just be the price of the leaf pack from a junk yard.

    Actually I do have a question for you :D
    I am going to be ordering the kit from Ruff stuff soon and was wondering what options you chose. I will def be going with 5" shackles. Also I will be using 12" Bilstein 5125s with the swap
