    Hey guys just bought a new 2015 Double cab TRD 4x4. I've always been a ford guy and never dreamed I'd own a toyota, but the tacoma is one bad ass truck and I'm definitely happy withthe purchase.


    Anyways, I'm looking for some upgrade ideas. I'm thinking about getting the 2" add a leaf from wheelers and one of the kits from here

    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...le-shocks-05-2014-w-optional-rear-shocks.html

    which rear shock number will I need to fit my 2" added leaf?

    Also which intake/exhuast combo do you suggest?

    Boost it!!! Then an intake and or exhaust will make more of a difference. Im biased towards my TRD CAT back. Tones out really nice.

    Thank you sir for getting an actual color, blue ribbon is a beautiful color on these trucks. Gets old seeing all the white & MGM trucks. I almost got blue ribbon myself and loved the color, but could not appease the wife with that color.

    Oh and DCSBTRDOFFROAD FTW!

    Honestly getting Silver Sky was a fluke, I was not set on getting that color, but at the time I needed a truck, it was the only DCSB-Off Road on the ground within a 75 mile radius, other than the Blue Ribon truck my wife didn't like and where we weren't getting anywhere on a deal with.

    But yes to answer your question, silver could be put in same category. But in my town every new a Tacoma (or new car in general) is either white, pearl white or metallic grey.

    It's refreshing to see something in a color entirely different than the norm or usual.
