    Hi everyone - New member here as I just picked up a '17 Tacoma. I purchased this truck on Friday and have been loving it so far. Main purpose of this truck is for off-roading so looking to buy sliders and full skid plates soon. I'm based in South Bay Area - see you all around

    Also, I'm constantly looking for day trips for trails that are drivable from the Bay Area. Please hit me up if you're open to showing a noobie the way!

    Line-X, LED Gauges, Bluetooth Stereo, TracRac, OME 2.5 Lift, Relentless Fab rear bumper, Shrockworks front. Bleh. So much good stuff.
    Is King that much better than OME? I've been running OME for 6 years and have found it to be an excellent suspension. What am I missing other than external reservoirs?

    The short answer is yes.

    Lots of reasons others have listed. And that’s not to say OME is bad either.

    We had this Dodger fan in our section last night who kept yelling "THAT WAS HUGE!" whenever the Dodgers did something halfway decent. He got mocked so hard that he left early after Posey's HUGE tagout in the 8th and Bellinger's HUGE boner. Great game, and great weather for a game.

    I don’t think King shocks make a remote reservoir front shock for 1st gens. Not off the shelf anyway

    I believe it was this video that has a lot of good information. He address why remote reservoir is a good idea. This channel has a lot other good videos.

    You are correct. King does not make (off the self) Resi for 1st gen. I've heard some claim that they, supposedly, have some kind of internal resi in them for (off the shelf) 1st Gen.

    That's literally, the reason I ended up buying Fox.

    Downsouth or Filthy (I think) used to offer King Resi they built for 1st Gen, but I don't think they do anymore.

    I used to wonder the same thing... Then I bought coilovers (Fox in my case) and the answer is a resounding YES.

    Better shock dampening, more adjustable, better travel, smoother ride (even with, in my case going from 620 pound springs on my shocks to 700 pound coils on my coilovers)

    Dodgers fans are awful. I can't believe how they boo'ed Jansen during that last series. Garbage.
