New to me 2004 Tacoma Xtra cab TRD

[PlumberGabe]

After countless hours of lurking, "researching" as I like to call it, I have found my new baby. I wanted a platform to build my dream, a self contained off the un-beaten path adventure/camping/expedition vehicle. I have owned a 1981 FJ60, a 2007 FJ Cruiser, a 2004 Tundra access cab, and a 1996 4Runner, I loved them all, but have always longed for a 1st generation Tacoma!
Well here she is and I found her only a few hours from home! 1 owner Carfax Certified, no less.

2004 Tacoma Xtracab SR5 TRD
57,000 miles
3.4 V6
Automatic
Leer Topper
Michelin ATX tires
Totally unmolested and clean!

I plan on doing a build similar to a few Ive seen, BajaTaco nailed a few things I like, Im thinking suspension, bumpers, 255 85 r16's?????, I love fishing and exploring so if any members have any wisdom to impart, please let me know!

Thanks in advance

PS Im in Grand Junction, so if any fellow members would like to do a meet and greet that would be awesome, mabey we could all help each other, do some trail runs, overnights? Looking forward to some fun!!! I
