    2010 White Tacoma TRD Sport Extended Cab
    Hello everyone,

    I'm new here and I just picked up a 2010 TRD Sport Extended Cab in White with 180K miles on it a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, I legitimately don't know why I didn't buy a Tacoma any sooner. It's the best purchase I've made besides my first home in 2012. There has been a hand full of times where the truck had made my hauling experiences so much easilier. I own a Lexus CT and Subaru Outback and the truck is the preferred vehicle to take out when going out with my family. I have a 1 year old and he enjoys being able to look out the cab rear window.

    The first thing I did to the truck was replace the shocks with Bilstein 5100 in the front and rear. I felt an immediate difference in the ride quality. Then I added a leaf suspension to the rear to level out the truck since I raised the front to about 1.5-2". I also picked up a set of BF KO2 275/70/17 tires. They're brand new and haven't been mounted yet. I'm still debating if I should go with 285/70/17 instead. Let me know what you think...
