4️⃣ Gold
So I recently purchased (May 6th, 2018) a Tacoma and absolutely love it. Well worth the money to upgrade from my previous vehicle. Since planning on getting a Tacoma about a year ago there have been many mods I have debated and wanted and here is what I have done so far. I've been a fan of Tacoma3G but now I am a contributor that owns a taco! This truck is my daily driver, I do a lot of camping, fishing, hunting and just getting out far from the city in this truck.

If there are any members in the Portland, Oregon area feel free to reach out, would love to meet some of you guys and see your rigs. Feel free to contact me on here or instagram if you have questions or are local enough for a meet up.

Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forum! Your rig looks sweet as hell, you definitely didn’t waste time digging into it. There are many members from the PNW and you can get with them in our regional section.

Thank you Grandmaster! I have many more things to do with the taco. I have found the Northwest section and going to try and make some friends
 
Little update since I’m trying to be better at documenting this build. I received my sliders, tailgate reinforcement and best of all the OME BP51s kit. Will be painting the sliders myself when I get the time but first thing to do is get this suspension installed! Oh and a pic of the truck in current form, just sold the step rails and CVT rooftop tent as well.

Updated picture of the truck after selling the CVT rooftop tent and the RCI bedrack. Had such a great experience with RCI metal works I ordered the entires skid plate package from them in aluminum. Couple weeks to get those.

Great looking truck man. Can't wait to see it with the GFC.

I have BP-51's as well. When you referenced "OME Heavy Springs" are you referring the extra leaf in the Dakars or an upgraded spring set in the front coils?
