    Just checking in as a new member. I have a 07 Taco that I picked up in Hawaii at my last duty assignment before getting out of the Army.
    Back in California and I started with Icon coilovers front and Icon shocks and add-leafs in the rear. With the long bed I didn't get enough lift and it was a little to stiff.
    I just installed All-Pro long travel kit with Walker Evans w/reservoir in front, Walker Evans LT and Expedition Leafs in the rear & love it!...pictures soon. I am the Medical Training Director for Bay Area Expeditions (bayareaexpeditions.com) and we take clients on expeditions and this setup provides comfort, helps me get to where I need to go and allows me to load up the back
    Next is a new bumper and winch!
    Looking forward to all the new threads...below is my black 07 Tacoma before installing the All-Pro LT kit

    I'm going to try to make it out. I have a possible Wilderness First Aid course that I maybe teaching that weekend, but the group is not sure on their dates. I looking forward to more trips. I booked in on the Expeditions West Hollister trip this year. Might have a couple friends with Tacos and FJs come along.

    Currently looking into a new bumper and winch (warn 9.5xp). Any recommendations out there on bumpers? Thinking Relentless or Aluminess. Want to keep the weight down with the aluminum...I know I've heard a lot about strength, but at the same time I've heard it's all about the design and they will be just as strong.????

    ^ Well Relentless should be moving to the North Bay pretty soon, so you just might be in luck. You'll save a ton on shipping.
