    Hello TacomaWorld!

    Brace yourselves... Long time JEEP guy here =) But needed a pickup so I bought me a taco.

    Just got it this month. 2001 SR5 4x4

    So far pleased with the truck, but there are a few things that need attention. For one, the struts are completely shot making for a very rough ride... Can't wait to fix this. If only $$$ grew on trees.

    Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and post a photo of my new truck.

    Thanks! -W

    Thanks!

    The 5100's are what I am thinking too. Trying to keep it close to stock for now, as I know how deep the aftermarket rabbit hole goes.

    Welcome! Yup, Bilstein 5100's are a very popular and inexpensive aftermarket shock around these parts. If you get the whole set (fronts and rears), the fronts are adjustable up to 3" (with the factory coils).
