    I replaced mine on my 04 with skyjacker nitrogen filled shocks and i actually think the tokicos were better just not long enough for the rear end. IMO shocks are like tennis shoes. It depends what you are doing with your truck, just like you wear running shoes to run and boots to work, you want shocks that match your driving terrain. I don't recommend Skyjacker, as far as all the others i have no experience.

    sounds good. honestly all i do is pull my small john boat. thats it. and use the bed for fishing gear. and occasional hauling for a friend or whatnot. but thats it. no mudding for me. had enough of that in my old s10. to many problems and to much money

    correct


    all blue shocks on a 1st gen = Tokiko

    yellow/blue = Bilstein

    Bilsteins were avail on 1st gens

    TRD package included progressive rate coil springs and HD rear springs along with the aluminum wheels you have on there...no difference in skid plates

    The color-keying is an SR5 package option

    It has the SR5 package and billy shocks I believe.

    And it's already been answered, but ya, it is a true TRD because the 4cyl TRDs did not have lockers. That is also quite a rare combo. Nice.

    since you want to be a smartass about it and its still Tuesday

    TRD springs are progressive...meaning the spacing gets tighter towards the top and bottom of the coilspring

    Regular tacoma coilsprings arent
