    I'm all about going up...not down. I think lowered trucks and trucks on 22's are pointless...my opinion...GET A CAR!

    I recently had 20" Akuza blades on my Taco and didn't like the look...too much bling 9 and fairly heavy !!). Sold them and went with Liquid Metal dynos which I like alot more. personally, 20's are as big as I'd go on a 4X4 Tacoma.
