Well after selling my 4runner to Northfacer581 I bought a WRX. While it was alot of fun, 5months in a car is too long for me. I decided I needed a bigger vehicle and even one that I can go fourwheeling in. I bought my dads 2002 tacoma.

It's a 5spd extended cab. My lift should be in this week and I just ordered shocks today. The sony dvd/cd/radio head unit is ordered. I also just dropped $2k on wheels and tires that will be here in a week or so.
Im really excited about starting a new project. I just hope I can get most of it put on before it gets too cold up here!!

although ripping around town in a speedy awd would be nice.

Welcome back Sam!

what kind of tires did you decide on?

I bought these wheels 17" Helo Maxx8b wheels with 285/70/17 BFG muds. It was pretty much the only tire this place had in the size i needed.

Just put on the 882's and i'm gonna do the AAL's tomorrow. I hope they go smoothy because I dont want to be seen driving the truck around like it is, saggy ass and all.

Keep us updated, I'm dying to see some pics!

Get any snow up there? I bet you did cause it snowed pretty good down here in Asheville for a while. Didn't amount to much but the mountain tops are white.

Yeh it started at around 11 last night and we got about an inch in a hour but then it just stopped really accumulating. It snowed all today too but it was too wet or warm to really stick. Still cool to see snow though.

I meant to get a before pic of the truck completly stock but i forgot. I will get a picture of the front lift on only tomorrow.
