TAC 1
New member
Hello Folks,
I'm new to this forum. I am on Tacoma World "TAC1" also. I have an '08 Tacoma Prerunner that has been EXCELLENT and I have offroaded it pretty hard for a 2WD, plus trips up to the Smoky Mountains & its caught a few feet of air a couple of times. :jaw:
My wife has gotten used to driving my lifted truck & that is what brings me here. After she test drove 3 different SUV's she chose this 4Runner last Sunday & to my pleasant surprise it is a 2016 4Runner Trail Edition in white.
She also chose the Duratracs which worked out good for me (I am a Service Manager at Goodyear) since I get a special employee incentive towards a new set of Goodyears. I decided to stay with the 265s & I will add a lift up front. This Trail has a 2" rake. I'll look into a 1.25 or 1.50 inch lift. She said she was so used to driving my truck that she felt too low in the other 2 SUVs. :thumbsup:
Don't worry folks. I'll read up before I post questions.
The ONLY complaint we have about this truck is the lack of a grab handle on the drivers side A-pillar. She's only 5' tall yet she wants me to level the front end so I DEFINITELY have to add steps to the truck and she wants the 4" oval tubes that give good door ding protection.
I will also do the 3 breather mods on this truck & I will familiarize myself with the 4WD & all the traction options and I believe that I have to engage the 4WD at certain mileage intervals? This is my 1st 4WD vehicle.
Well here are some pics:
