Dirt King Testing 4G Shocks, Control Arms & More

What was Toyota thinking with putting an 18 gallon tank in the 4th gen Tacoma?? My wife's EV has more range than the Tacoma does on a full tank as I can't get more than 280 miles on a tank. I do mostly city driving with some highway but still even the 4Runner I had before would go nearly 340 miles on a tank. I wish I had known this about the Tacoma before I leased it. I may be reconsidering the option to purchase this once the lease is up and may go to a used 3rd gen Tacoma or a Colorado new or used.

Check it out. Got some photos from Dirt King from their test runs in the desert on their new 2.5 coilovers and shocks they're going to release soon. The kit includes rear springs that are developed alongside the rear shocks for the best performance. The truck is also running their other prototypes for rear links, billet UCAs and their signature lowers. This is basically an example of the best you can do with mid-travel bolt-on components.

A few images below with the truck air born and bottoming out. The owner/president said once properly equipped, the 4G platform has some seriously good potential.

I ran DK's suspension on my 3G build for 4 years. Everything was top notch. They have a killer reputation.

If you want to win a set of these, check out their ongoing giveaway! Two full suspensions with UCAs up for grabs.
