    Hello Everyone,

    Somewhat new member here from both So. Cal and Nor. Cal. Been researching and lurking for over a year when I bought my new '12 Mag. Grey Taco DCLB 4x4 Sport with every option available in Dec. 2011. Paid $31,500 plus tax and lic. for the truck at Vallejo Toyota. I am happy so far, just hate the weak suspension that they put on the truck. Every time i drive on the freeways here in So. Cal, I feel like I'm riding in a low rider!! It even got my wife carsick and made her throw up!! LOL! Recommendations?

    Anyways, this is a great forum and learning a lot from all the threads that I've been reading! Hopefully one day I will be able to contribute some useful information on here!

    Peace-

    MarkEmarK

    @MJonAgs32 - Thanks for the welcome!! I'm from the 408!! I live in So. Cal for now, but drive up twice a month to hang with family and friends.

    @w8n4mud - Thanks for the welcome as well! Stock truck for now, going to pick up some 5100's for all four hoping that will help the lowrider feel.

    LOL!! I saw that thread and thought that it would be a good side business! I just don't want to be competing with SCRunner12 for business. Plus, I'm too lazy to pick up and deliver. HAHA

    Nah SCRunner12 isn't doing that, he simply put the thread together so that others can organize the transporting.

    Welcome,

    Billies will help, might want to do the coils while you are there. Then, if you still have money, talk to Old Man Doug about leaf springs. :D
