But it’s not just about looks – this Tacoma has also been upgraded with an enhanced front suspension, rock rails, and a steel rear bumper with a swing-away tire carrier. The suspension features upgraded front upper control arms and a new set of Fox 2.0 coil-overs, while the solid rear axle is buoyed by enhanced shock absorbers and a leaf-spring kit that raises the ride height.
