    Just picked up my new 2nd gen Tacoma double cab TRD sport 4x4. My previous car was a Renault Kangoo - Also a 4x4!! - set up as a camper. I toured the UK and some of western europe in that beast. Now I'm moving back to the states and bringing this new Tacoma to Colorado.

    I've got billstein shocks with the TRD package and 17" wheels. I probably don't need to do anything for most of the fire roads in the mountains, but if anyone has any front range or mountain specific tips I'm all ears. Either tips for set up or destinations are appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Got to drill my first couple holes into the truck today, and rip the headliner out, and do some wiring. Fun times already and it's only day two. Now I just need a little bit more suspension...
