So I just bought a 2010 Tacoma TRD Sport. Wasn't really looking for the package, but the deal was GREAT! So now I am looking to make it more of a "truck". I need to tow regularly with the occasional 5.5K load. Getting the tough country front and rear replacement bumpers. I want to get rid of the 17" wheels and swap (if I can find someone) or buy the 16" TRD OffRoad wheels. This way I can go with the 265x75x16 tire. So, the opinions come in when what's y'all's opinion on making all this happen. No short cuts or half assin it. Tranny cooler is a must and I'm thinking bout the OME 3" HD lift or just the STD 3+1 HD springs.
Opinions?

 

Sounds like you've got a good plan for the set up of your truck. How often is the "occasional load"?

post your wheels over at tacomaworld or on craigslist and you'll be surprised how fat they go.
