My tacoma with new lift, rims, lights!!

Hey all,
Long time since ive posted, been doing some work to the truck. So far ive got a Toytec 2inch front lift, Pro Comp 1079 w/ rings, and some Hella 500's. Ive also put in a bunch of stereo stuff to. Its taken a lot of time and work since im only 16 but its worth every dollar to me. Let me know what you think, or any suggestions. Oh and for anyone who is hatin on the prerunner look, dont worry, ive got a 1 inch rear block lift, i just havnt had time to put it on and dont mind they way it sits currently.

Before


After

Looks good, dude..

Not a huge fan of bling myself, but I can appreciate some shiny...

Black rings would look rad...

You could always get the black ones, and then sell the chrome ones for what you paid for them...

But anyway, looks good. I like the raked look myself, that's how I ran my 99 Tacoma...

Ya im thinkin its gonna remain at the ride height its got. Next is 32" tires, a prerunner push bar for the front, and a somewhat low profile light bar for the top of the cab, depends what kind of fabricating ideas i get.

Those are some awesome rims! You could always powder coat the ring but thats more money. For a 16 year old you have one sweet ride! When I was 16 I resorted to autozone for all my "Mods" on my Explorer... (<--- DO NOT ATTEMPT ) That's the quickest way to make a stock vehicle look like it just rolled out of Mexico. haha. Keep up the tasteful modifications.

p.s. The raked look isn't so bad

Not bad; have you thought about going with a shackle instead of a block for the rear?

wow that is one serious pile o' rock behind ya in the first pic.

I always get a kick out of how much I look at the background scenery when ppl are posting pics of their trucks. lol Sure the truck gets the first look but then I check out the scenery.

Sharp lookin' bling bling wheels, btw.

I second this motion. Not a fan of blocks, shackles don't bother me too much, especially at only ~1-2"
