    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I'm leaning towards no. You have an 04

    Could try find a wrecked rear end off a taco and swap it in?

    Do a 4x4 swap while you're at it.

    NEW WAGER. Will Ken get his truck 4x4 + locker before @Nicklovin gets a 4x4? Or Kyle gets the brokerunner up again.:rofl:

    Hello everyone, pretty new to TW and want to introduce myself. My name is Kevin, I live in Pasadena, and recently just finished lifting my 2015 4x4 taco! My truck's been a street queen but she's ready to get dirty and I'm ready to get my feet dusty! Luckily, I stumbled across this thread as it seems to be where it's at! Only thing is, i've never been off-roading and need to learn the ins and outs. I definitely want to tag along but afraid I might hold you guys up or for worse, damage my truck! I know offroading takes a beating but that's what our trucks are made for right? So, I'd gladly like to join you guys if you guys are open for a beginner to tag along and perhaps help show me the ins and outs!


    Also, do you guys think I need to do anything else to my truck for off-roading? I plan on doing a CMC cause my driver side rubs in reverse at 3/4 rotation and for more clearance when I take it off-road. Do i need longer brake lines for the front/rear? I plan on sliders in the near future as well. Please let me know, thank you!

    Truck Specs
    -2015 DCSB TRD Sport 4x4
    - Bilstein 5100's
    -OME 887's
    -SPC LR UCA's
    -HS 3-leaf progressive AAL's
    -SCS Stealth 6's
    -BFG Ko2 285/70/17
    -CB drop



    My truck and how it sits! I need to take more photos lol, this is the only one I have at the moment.

    Nice ride @Kevmeistah21 looks like you started out real good there! Don't worry about being new we are quite familiar with getting new guys into, and safely out of, the dirt! Stick around and join us on some runs when they pop up.

    Lol I don't want to convert it to 4x4 until I get a different daily. I already have other projects going on so I figured if I get a locker I can tag along. Lol newbie thinking

    Welcome man. Don't worry about being new to the dirt, everyone here is awesome. Looks like you've got a good setup there and will be able to handle just fine. Take her slow and easy. Some of these guys are nuts and you just gotta tell em no! There's usually something going on every weekend. Myself and a few others have been grabbing beers once a week that you're welcome to join in for as well. Just keep an eye out in here

    Welcome!:wave:
    Truck looks good! You're amongst good people, there's always someone to lend a hand when you need help. On the trail we all cruise for the most part, no worries if you want to take some sections slow to learn :thumbsup:

    Yeah I hear ya. Unfortunately funds aren't unlimited for me so I'll have to piece it together little by little. So I'm looking to do the rear locker then maybe in a year or so I'm gonna go 4x4 and V6 swap

    Just be sure to stay clear of @eccracer104 he'll make your bank account drain very quickly :rofl:
    I live in Yorba Linda but work out of Monterey Park and am there most of the time. I think we're grabbing beers Thursday or Friday if you want to meet a group of us down there
