    Awesome man! Enjoy. All Tacomas are nice, but the pro just hits every button!

    I honestly wish I had a Pro. I think many of us really like the Pro, but couldn’t afford it. So when someone does spend that extra cash for this awesome truck and then takes off arguably the main reason to buy this truck (fox suspension) many of us take it hard. Unfortunately some express this by being jerks to the pro owners.

    I’m slowly upgrading my off-road with pro parts, so I guess the more pros that get rid of their suspension, the easier it will be for me to snag a set. :D

    Pro + Volk is a winning combo! :yes:

    What finish will you be going with on them?

    Congrats! Wish I could've afforded a pro but got a TRD sport instead 6MT. But in retrospect w/ all the current mods and planned ones...I'll probably end up paying more overall. The Mod bug is real.....Ugh

    Thank you for your post. No problem on being jerks. When I paid for my pro, extra layer of skin was provided upon delivery :)

    Congrats on the pro man! I got the cement in a manual and have been absolutely loving the truck, especially the suspension. I find myself looking for potholes and curbs to drive off of haha. Also always looking for railroad tracks to possibly jump over, just like them ole duke boys.

    ...and I thought I was the only one, lol. BTW, speed bumps are no sweat either these days! The suspension irons ‘em right out!

    Oh absolutely. The best is when you have a passenger that doesn't know, and you accelerate hard towards a massive speed bump and act like you don't see it. The passenger normally starts freaking out as the speed bump approaches. I'll blow over them at 55mph (in an empty parking lot) and all you get is a "tsss tssss" out of the shocks :rofl:. Then the passenger understands what the PRO is all about!

    Thanks for all the positive comments.

    Went with matte black on the Volks in 16". Those should be in within the next few weeks or so. I haven't even driven the truck yet...I get back tonight, but my buddy already installed LED bed lights and a Rigid 30" light bar for me while I've been gone. Can't wait to get home, get it washed and enjoy the newness of it. :)

    Installed the Rigid light bar and had her detailed. There has been debate about rubbing with the Pro and 285/75/16 tires. I haven't experienced any rubbing whatsoever and I still have the rear mud flaps (which I plan to remove).

    Nice ride! I'm liking the look of the 285/75/16's. I put 265/75's on mine, but wish I would've went bigger. I would like to do the 285/75/17's.

    Thanks. I'm too worried about rubbing with aftermarket wheels and want it to be easier for my wife to drive, so I'm going to switch to 265/75s with the Volks when they come in. Just got the new tires yesterday and got the update that the wheels will be into the US in a month from yesterday.

    It is a real thing. I try and tell my wife but she doesn't understand.

    It's always better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission..:taco:
