    Yes...I traded in my Raptor for a Tacoma. Is it better or cooler? Big fat no! Can it be? I believe so! That’s why I’m here. I’m pretty well settled into my easy to park mini beast and with the collective knowledge of this forum, maybe I can achieve my goal of making my TRD-OR Taco the nimble easy to park non-wide body F-150 I so desire.

    I’ve lurked a good bit while getting acclimated to the taco and already have FN 17x8 TRD Pro wheels in route and will be wrapping them in 265/70/17 Wildpeaks.
    I immediately did the Subaru tweeter swap, and am looking at suspensions. I’m looking for an easy to service shock. The FOX shocks(at least on the Raptors had no more than 50k of life before needing expensive service).

    I’m not new to auto forums BTW.
    You may know me from such forums as:

    I didn’t mention the TRD Pro grill mod. I went with the OEM part. And here are pics because TTIWWP!

    Most reliable from others posted experience seems to be ADS shocks. Most service life seems to be OME. OME are none serviceable. Really depends when you want to spend the money. Leafs I would say OME depending on what you want to achieve. I'm going with Chevy 63's after my allpro shit the bed.

    Alot of people go with bilstein 5100 paired with OME springs. That's what I currently have and haven't had any issues.
