    I would really be all about this truck if it was just little cheaper and I could get it in black, silver, or white without the hugh jazz BAJA decal.

    I think the black double cab looks pretty good! Pretty sure these links haven't been posted yet.

    I don't plan on buying one because of that crazy price, but I plan on keeping my truck all OEM parts, so this mild lift, wheel/tire combo definently interest me!

    the article says the fronts are based on the Bilstein 9100's (beefy 60mm pistons) and the rears remote reservoir 5160's- supposedly they spent a fair amount of time w/ Bilstein tuning these dampers for the Tacoma

    Part of an email I got from a TRD Product Development Manager;

    "... we don't currently have plans to sell the Baja Series parts as standalone accessories, at the request of our Truck Marketing group. I can tell you that the shocks are not off the shelf parts from Bilstein, they have unique extended and compressed lengths as well as different bushings and valving, all of which are the result of significant development work.
    The spring is also a custom part number for TRD, but you could buy a similar spring from Eibach, as I recall the rate is around 625 Lbs/In.
    We also use a different rear leaf spring (3+1 pack), a unique brake line spacer, line clamps, bump stops, and some other hardware such as frame mounted reservoir clamps."

    And from a Bilstein racing rep;

    "... We will probably release our own aftermarket tune anyway which would be better than the trd tune anyway."

    ^ thanks for that info, might be like the FJ anthracite rims, you'll need a VIN to replace a shock :)

    I'm guessing the front spring is pretty close to the 1.6" Eibach spring that is currently available
