    Nice! Good to hear on the Kings being smooth after broken in. I've had that on MTB forks and shocks where they are sticky the first few rides and then everything smooths out like buttah. Your's is a DD too right?

    Yeah I like how the bumper came out. Someone clipped my truck with a moving van, so I used it as an excuse to upgrade :D

    I've had the black Renegades for about a year now. I had the polished ones for a few years before but they were a pain the in @ss to keep clean. I love the way the black looks on the MGM so much better! I just need to black out the rest of my chrome now.

    Did you do the front susp install yourself or have a shop handle it for you? I'm thinking I may just have a shop do mine once I've got the parts.

    I asked about the wheels because, I couldn't find a single tacoma with them when I was buying my wheels. I almost went to method racing becasue Outlaw (and others here on this site) said the racelines WOULD NOT FIT!!! I had to call raceline just to confirm. I love my wheels, and yours[​IMG] I am glad I went with them.

    Mine is a daily driver. I bought the shocks and UCA's from Down South Motorsports. Great deal! The wheels and tires I got through Outlaw. They installed it for me. I could of easily done it myself though. (I used to work at Toyota back in the day).

    Funny/sad sighting today. 1st gen eating the curb with a typical ball joint failure mod, being dragged off the street by an old lifted white Toyota Pickup sitting on HUGE tires.

    Kinda wanted to stop and help, but it looked like the old pickup had it handled :rofl:

    Spotted a white single cab with front and rear glass, 3 7" lights on a prerunner bumper with skid, and what looked like a mid travel or stock suspension. Tires looked like 33's.

    Spotted on El Toro Rd in Lake Forest.

    I see this white Tacoma whenever I go to physical therapy in Newport Beach. Assuming this owner works at FedEx or the urgent care center since it's parked right next to the building.

    TX Pro stickers on an MGM DC with a nice roof rack and lights at the Chino Walmart today around 2 or so.
    Standard 17" TRD 5-spoke wheels though... not the ones with fake beadlocks that we usually see on the Gulf States' TX-Pro.
