Whistler, the King set is only $1,024.99 w/Free shipping from 4 Wheel Parts for Tacoma's 2004 and under. (No reservoir). I have a 2003 under my Northstar poptop camper.

It's not too much if you are happy with it and it performs as you want it too. I'm very happy with my 2004 Tacoma 4x4 especially with the upgrades I did. A tacoma will last many years if you take care of it. I like the smaller version of the 1st Gen. Tacomas for Baja trail riding. But I also like the 2nd Gen. V6 engine. Before I retired I had a 2006 Tacoma 4x4 for a work truck and liked it, especially for the power.

If you ever have a problem or want advice check out Tacoma World. As usual everyone has an opinion but some of the people there really know what they are talking about.

The mud flaps on the second gen Tacomas (2005+) are no good... (yup that is one thing no good on a Tacoma). They are hard plastic not flexible rubber... When you drop into a rut, the flap will snap off... also if enough Laguna Salada type mud sticks to it, the weight will rip them off... After re-installing them several times on my 2005, when I got my 2010, I just took them off...

I second TW's recommendation on joining TacomaWorld.com forums (what they call TW over there!). Way bigger than Nomad and while mainly U.S. and Canada members, other countries post too.
