So i believe i finally have a game plan for my build, thanks to several different individuals . I have picked out a lift kit that i believe will work best for what im looking to do. I am going with the Bilstein 5100 Series Front and Rear Shocks - 2016+ TacomaAdd Eibach 2" Lift Coils (E30-82-069-02-20) / Add 1.5" Rear Add-A-Leaf with U-Bolts for the lift. I am also upgrading my tires to BF goodrich all terrain TKO 265/75/16 tires. Im putting a DV8 FBTT1-05 front steel bumper winch mount, with 20" slim led light bar. i also just ordered a DV8 front skid plat to match the bumper as well. I am hoping this project goes smoothly and that i should have pics posted up soon! If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions please let me know, this is a huge deal for me and i want to make sure it comes out perfect!
I was also thinking about possibly putting on a bolt on exhaust, is there one that is recommended and also budget friendly as well ?
A little backstory on me: i Bought this truck in april 2018 with hopes of having a great time enjoying it. Before i was able to do anything to my truck i was unfortunately diagnosed with AML leukemia with complicated chromosomes which i have been battling with for over 2 years now with countless trips back in forth into the hospital. Ive gone through 2 different stem cell transplants hoping that it would have put me into remission, unfortunately that wasn't the case and just 2 months after my last transplant my cancer came back rapidly quick overnight creating a mass on my neck. Over the last several months i have been getting unpleasant updates on what to expect for my future. As of now, if i was just a statistic they would give me 6 months to live, but i refuse to be a statistic and plan to live as long as i possibly can. This is why this build means so much to me, it is one of the things ive always wanted to do with a truck since i could ever remember. It sucks that its happening for unfortunately events that are occurring in my current life. But at least once its done, i'll finally be able to enjoy my truck and go out with friends and family on some trails and just have a good time.
