    You could fit those tires stock with about 10mins of doing the pinch weld mod.

    would be worth checking... I disconnected my sway bar ends to make things easier when I swapped the front struts out. afterwards I had a loud clunk from the front on hitting seemingly random bumps... turns out the sway bar connector bolts where not tight enough. had to use a (iirc) 6mm allen and a wrench...

    had a chance to drive a '14 regular cab tundra with the 5.7l moving a friend a couple of states away... that thing was quick.
    he claimed 6.5 sec to hit 60.

    That explains why they were trying to race my Cayenne all the time when I had it. I had the TDI with a performance tune ~ 300HP but 500 lb.ft. Never had one outrun me.

    I have tried two different license plat flip kits and neither one seems to work. Both had narrower mounting holes than the license plate. So I think I am going to go with one that mounts to the spare tire carrier. Who has one and what is it? pics? price? From some quick googling, they seem to run from $50-100.

    Anyone have any tips on what to do for my little 4 banger first gen? Looking to use it as a camp/adventure rig.

    It's slower than the videos posted here I can promise that! Glad to finally be a part of the Tacoma crew again. (Sold my 2001 4 years back when I went to college).

    Do you have the 2.7L? You might be able to source a supercharger for it. You put that in you'll be flying! :)

    EDIT: might be prohibitively expensive

    The super charger for the 2.7 won't pass smog in CA. :mad:

    :( I didn't have enough for one at the time.

    :( Bummer. My little 2.7 2wd is all I got.
