I bought my tacoma in December and I love it. I have two questions. The first is I wanna remove my mud flaps because I'm just not a big fan....but I'm not sure it would look right...what do you guys think. The second question is what is better, a body lift or a suspension lift and why? Thanks!!!!

To see how a truck looks without the mudflaps take a look at the many pages in this thread -

You will also see all kinds of lifts in there too, and go with a suspension lift. I've never read one good thing someone said about a body lift. If price is a concern, Toytec makes some cheap options for a suspension lift.

Thanks for the advise. This is my first truck and I wanna treat it right.

Yeah, a suspension lift is much better. 3" suspension lifts are pretty common on the new Tacos. You can get 6" lifts, but they are more expensive, and can be rougher on the front CV axles.

i hated the mudflaps, they arent really flaps, more like mudstiffs. they looked hideous to me so that was the first thing i did to my truck. 3inch lifts look great, i plan on getting one sometime. and nice new rims always make it look all the much better... congrats on the truck...
