Sweet work. Just got a Tacoma and got the same lift. Need tires and wheels still . Nice Fab work. Wish I had those skills. Would save me some money. Lol. Thanks for the motivation, Keep it up.

Really nice job on the Taco! Love that it gets out and gets used for what it's been built for.
Good stuff. Keep sharing the adventures, too.

@Ryan O'Connell Nice truck man. My buddy has the Icon Stage 4 lift on his 2011 Taco and it is total sweetness, rides like a cadi. Glad to see you on the forums.
