this site saved me so much $$$$$$$$$$$

i got my tacoma 1 1/2 years ago. i stumbled upon this website while doing some research on the truck. the first thing i did was replace the stock stereo/speakers with Pioneer equipment. the step by step instructions on this site made it a breeze. i also used the forum for instructions/advise on oil/trans/diff fluid, did them all myself. when it came time to pull a boat to the lake i hopped on the forum to get my truck's towing capabilities... valuable info. next im getting a 2.5 inch lift/new shocks, planning on doing the install myself. this forum has indeed saved me alot of cash

 

The opposite has happened to me. When I first got my truck i was just going to leave it stock. But now I want to buy all kinds of stuff for it. But I couldn't be happier with my truck. This is a really good forum.

 

I am definitely in the same boat. The more I work on my truck, the more I like it.

One problem--there really isn't anything wrong with my truck.

 

Haha I agree with both. This site and the members on this site have saved me tons of time and tons of money. Alot of knowledge and know how on here.

And I also bought my truck to leave stock and drive back and forth to school but know im saving ever last dime I have so I can hopefully one day redo my suspension and some other stuff to her.

 

Yeah this site has cost me a lot of money too. The constant need of upgrading!!!

Really...This site has brought me and my Taco closer actually. All the good ideas y'all give. The help when needed. I love my taco and Tacomaworld.

 

TW RULES!

 

This site has saved me money but yet made me spend more cuz of all the mods I wanna do haha

 

Yeah this forum does wonders and has really drained my bank account over the last few weeks! I just hope my marriage aint next!! haha! Love this place, the members and their badd@ss trucks!!

 

This place has definitely not saved me money lol. Im in the "was going to leave it stock" boat.

But on a side note, What kit are you getting? TRD4u is having a great sale on the complete OME kit. http://www.trdparts4u.com/Scripts/p...talogid=-1&catalogname=OFFROAD&idCategory=-79

 

yeah i had to wrestle my wife to get my new wheels but she won on the tire part of the deal lol. changed my mind on the lift for now. summer is coming up and we spend alot of time at the river/lake and im tired of getting stuck so next for me is gonna be a rear locking diff.

 

you can get a locker for $300.

I'd do lift and tires at the same time, because running a 2-3" lift with 31's looks stupid.

 

This site is rough for me....
Its more of a "look that truck has it, why cant mine?"
Buy buy buy, paint, ungrade, mount, balance, drill hole, paint, upgrade, buy buy buy.....

 

What is stock size tire for 1st gen 4x4?
I have a 30" tire on a 2.5 lift...

 

TW def. helps buy better products that cost more money, but i have went the cheaper way and done useless mods on previous vehicles... TWs knowledge base is amazing and im glad everyone on here is here (even the DBs)

Thank You TW

 

i have been leaning toward the Rocky Road no slip system, runs about $430 shipped. still researching i'll be ready to buy in a month or so. leaning that way because its my daily driven truck

 

you'd be fine with any type of locker since you dont really get snow or ice (exepct last winter) ever, which is where lockers dont do very well on the road.

 

from what i have read, some lockers will not allow for smooth driving around corners and can eat up tires

 

thats true, and those are full time lockers.

automatic lockers (like Aussies) do not engage unless you're accelerating.

 

go detroit or arb, theyre bullet proof.

 

i have heard so many good things about the arb but i dont/cant shell out 1 grand for it.
