    I drive a white van, so good luck spotting me. Post a pic of your truck, so I'll know when I see you.

    Thanks everyone for the welcoming. Really like the truck so far. Have only drove it to work a couple of days, but excited to be a Taco Owner.

    Just watch your wallet. This site generally starts draining it for you.

    I'll get one this afternoon.


    Speaking of. I saw someone yesterday on highway 31 in Pelham about 5 to 530pm. Mgm Prerunner bhlm looked like new wheels and tires recently installed as it had other wheels in the bed. Smaller light bar up front.

    Looked great. Curious what wheels and lift and tire size was installed if a member here.

    I've also seen this truck, but I don't believe he's a member. There are a few modded tacos, that I see all the time, that are not on here.

    Question for you guys, because you will probably be faster and more helpful. The Kings group buy is up. How do I decide if I need the extended travel kings or just standard?

    Extended travel is for more downward drop. I'm no expert at it, but I would assume we (as 4x4's) would be limited to regular droop do to our cv angles.

    You can use either one but if you use the extended travel you will need to install upper control arms also. The extended travel gives you more down travel but the stock upper control arms will hit the coil so you will need to replace the stock upper control arms.
