    Traded my 05 double cab tacoma in for a 2012 crew max in febuary of 2012. Really liked the tacoma but wanted something more.

    First mod was a 3" leveling kit and 18" XD addicts.

    Added Wet Okole seat covers and a MBRB cat back exhaust after that.

    Left it alone for about a year then got a wild hair and ordered a 7" BDS lift and 35 Toyos
    [​IMG]
    Future plans are a color matched grille with mesh insert, nfab steps, color matched door handles, and eventually want to put plate bumpers front and rear.
    Here is the tacoma i traded in on the tundra.

    I was planning on doing a suspension instead of the leveling when I got it but my dad bought the leveling kit for my birthday that year, so I went with it for the time untill I got the BDS. The seat covers are very nice. I had them on the front seats of the tacoma so they were the first choice in the tundra. Especially with the little one in the back seat now makes clean up easy.

    The seat covers ran about $300 a set. Bit pricey but in my opinion well worth it. Since they are waterproof it makes clean up from messes my daughter makes much easier.

    How are you liking the BDS lift? Also what shocks are you using?

    So far so good in the lift. I like the way it sits and the ride is just like the factory. as for shocks just the stock coils in front and the shocks that come with the lift on the rear. Was going to upgrade to the Fox shocks but decided not to at the time.
