    So I just bought a very nice 2018 Cavalry Blue Pro Tacoma with bunch of extras. I'm not a fan of the roll bar, front bumper and bed drawer and was hoping to get rid of them but don't know what the market is on used items like this. I would rather have the vehicle back to stock condition personally. I know the suspension is terribly expensive as well and would love to be able to swap someone with OEM TRD PRO suspension plus some cash to boot if that were realistic. Could you all give me some insight as to what I might be able to sell?

    Bedslides go pretty easily for 400-800 on CL in my neck of the woods. Just be really clear about gross dimensions as well as mounting dimensions. You might have to be patient with the rollbar…

    Switching that suspension out for OEM would be a downgrade...

    Think OP recognized that when stating possible terms of the trade. One upside is you wouldn't need to perform routine service on the shock absorbers per King's guidelines. I doubt most owners follow those anyway and just rebuild them when they start to leak.

    Side note - @ASUMTNEER, nice avatar. I've got an MA70 sitting in the driveway.

    There’s oil everywhere even on the coil spring. Shock body is covered with oil. Good thing is it’s not much to have them rebuilt, it’s just the removal / reinstall if you’re not mechanically inclined . You may or may not factor that in your selling price

    I would try selling the bed rack and drawer on a local facebook marketplace- they are going to be really expensive to ship. Whoever had the truck before you used good quality suspension upgrades. Kings are the best you can get really. Just keep them for now and see how you like the truck after you get everything else back to stock form. You might regret getting rid of those Kings.

    Gotcha. FWIW, there is grease from a torn cv boot on the coil spring. I'll look when I get home and see about the strut though.

    You can get good money on the bumper, drawer and the ridged lights. Not too many people want the roll bar. I bet the sensor doesn’t work with that bumper. Keep the suspension and see if you like it.

    Yes, that's the main issue I have with the bumper. The upper bar blocks the sensor so the PCA light stays on and the radar cruise control won't work.

    NVM. It might just be the grease from a torn cv boot . You may just lower it to stock trd pro height to prevent the cv boot from tearing again. That setup as others have said is great

    I thought about that as well. Looks easy enough to do if I can find the right tool to do it with.

    That means you Have two options to get rid of this bumper. 1. You will need to buy a new OEM plastic bumper because this one has been cut to fit this stupid bumper. I doubt you will find a used one as it is hard to find one with this particular color. 2. Get a full size bumper with no bull bar or full length bull bar. I personally hate this type of bumpers

    So whoever did the install was forward thinking. They removed the black lower valance, of course, and cut a whole through the bumper on the inside of where the valance will snap back into place. So, in theory, all I will have to do is buy another valance and clip it into place and it will hide the giant hole in the lower section of the bumper. I'll let you know how this works out for me.

    Love it cav blue is the best. One thing to note, the coil on the kings is probably rated for more front end weight, getting rid of the steel bumper and winch may stiffen the ride and/or give you even higher lift, as others said you would likely want to adjust those down quite a bit or swap coils when making the swap
