Ordered 1st week of December, arrived in Las Vegas 2nd week of Feb. Took it out to Jean dry lake and Goodsprings on Saturday. Soaks up the bumps MUCH better than the TRD Off Road Tacoma we replaced. Very smooth on the trails.
Finally! A Inferno TRDP in Vegas! Welcome to the group.
We should arrange a photo shoot of the Las Vegas white, black, and inferno TRDP's together.
First city to post a trifecta photo, one of each color, wins.

Now, with 3,300+ miles!
As promised, I took some photos of some of the more interesting parts of a recent road trip. I put something like 3,250 miles on the TRDP in 10 days. I also really initiated the TRDP into the Dirty TRDP Club.
Highlights included Vail pass in the snow (no problem - LOVING the Nittos) along with two great days in the Wyoming wilderness in the Granite Mountains and near Alcova and Pathfinder reservoirs near Casper. Photos include some from a great powerline trail near Alcova (the pics don't effectively show the steepness and jaggyness of the rocks), some puddles/snow we found to the west, Freemont Canyon, some areas I've hunted (Granite Mtns.) where we returned to hike, and Independence Rock, one of many historic landmarks along the Oregon Trail. My dog enjoyed the trip, and you can see him behind the tint in a few of the photos. Credits go to my buddy for most of the pics.
The link HERE goes to my Picasa album, where you can see some more shots.
I tested out some of the terrain/crawl/decent options, but still prefer the old-fashioned use of the throttle and gear selection to pick through the tricky stuff.
I also admit, hitting the puddles made part of me cringe (no, I don't care about dirt -- having been a trail volunteer for mtn bike trails, I do usually make it a point to wait until trails are dried out to ride/roll'em), but we were literally out in the middle of nowhere and temptation won out. I hope my hundreds of hours of past trail work mitigate the mud flung and any potential ruts or offense taken here in this forum...

Doesn't really answer the question since we know the Bilsteins are installed at port.

Anyone interested in my Gobi Ranger Rack? PM me if your interested.
Why are you selling? Just curious.
Just going a different direction. I think I am going to go BajaRack instead. Don't really need the full-size, not going to install a RTT or anything like that. So basically it is a little overkill. I am either going to go BajaRack or go back to the original rails and a Yakima load warrior. I have a yakima skybox that I am going to want to utilize as well, and removing the Gobi is not an option on short notice. It really is a permanent solution rack. I love the way it looks, the build and all that, just a little overkill for my needs. I can make someone a heck of a deal on it!

So far 2 TRD PRO owners have had issues with the skid plate nuts inside the radiator support. Just so everyone knows, check the front TRD Skid plate bolts to make sure they are there when you drive away. The blind nut just came unwelded. Taking it back to the dealership to see what they say. Also one of the bolts is stripped just by barely putting any torque on the bolt (my hand was over the head of the ratchet).

Mine was too.
