    It took me a little while but I've finally pulled a trigger and switched from my so much dreamed for 2017 taco TRD PRO to 2017 taco BDS 6"...
    Going wheeling right after a 500 miles re-torque... will see then what I really got...
    Here's before and after pictures: 2017_taco_TRD-PRO.jpg 2017_taco_BDS.jpg

    So I've gone up 6" and had to switch to 35" tires.
    And now I'm offering my original (265/70R-16) five 2017 taco TRD PRO wheels and tires with 8090 mostly highway miles on them for $1350. Great condition, clean, no scars or scratches.
    All 5 wheels, tires and sensors are factory assembled. A spare wheel is a generic steel.
    Local pick up or a US continental shipment at buyer's expense.

    Will be offering a complete trd pro suspension system as soon as I will clean it and get ready to ship.

    How is the ride? I know the pro's ride amazing but after the lift is it significantly worst? Thanks!

    I’m looking to go with the BDS 6” Coil-Over Suspension System myself. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. I will also be going up to 35”. What all did you go with for your System?

    The rims are 17x9,-12 by Vision. Those are the cheapest I could find at DISCOUNT TIRE in right characteristics.
    The ride is awesome. What terrible is a gas mileage (so far 15 on highway and 13 in the city).
    In a couple of weeks will test it at Badlands and let you know.
    Cannot figure out how much to reasonably ask for my original TRD PRO suspension system kit. Any ideas?2017_taco_trd_pro_susp_kit_1.jpg

    I get this mileage. But maybe 10-13 in the city.

    Also, I have 4.56s, supercharged, full skids/sliders/bumpers. I guess I shouldnt be caring about mileage anymore. Who buys a truck for mileage?

    Agreed. You cannot expect all benefits of a well built TROPHY TACO with gas mileage of a PRIUS.

    Congrats - looks great. I really like the black accents you added to the side and hood. Is that vinyl, paint, or a bed liner? Any photos of the front?

    ...yeah, a part of it...
    a system wouldn't let me post a sale because I'm "too new" to the forum.
    I'm also posting on ebay etc., but it seems not smart to block "old" members from getting a good deal on some good stuff.

    So you had a body shop do this? Black and red are my colors too, so maybe I'll do the inverse of yours or some combination of it.

    change your gears to 4.88 and hat should help mpg. Did you calibrate it yet? I would think if you do the 4.88 gears and the calibration to get accurate mpg it should be closer to 16 average.
