    Thanks! I've had it for 10 months and it's been a work in progress. I finally got around to putting together a build page to keep track of everything

    Nice build!

    I noticed you got the 2014 entune installed on your 2012. Which is sweet.

    I want to get the exact same thing done on my 2012. Planning on ordering the unit from FLTruck, but I have no clue where to get the pin adapter and antenna. How did you get yours installed and working?

    Why spend the coin for the baja just to swap the suspension? Just curious.

    I got a gr8 deal on the Baja used. Owner of the stealership drove it around and I acquired it with only 8,700 miles. Plus it had all the bells and whistles I was looking for. I didn't join Tacomaworld till after I got my Taco.....and then my wallet pulled a Keyser Soze on me

    you can get the antenna adapter from Crutchfield and the pin adapter from ebay. If you go to the page FLTruck is selling the radios on you will be able to get a better idea of install. I got my radio from FLTruck. Good deal! You will need an adapter from ebay and an A to A male usb cable to get the usb plug to work. you will also need a VIN# off a 2014 truck with Entune to get the Entune to work. I just looked up new Tacomas online and plugged in VIN#s till one worked :D
    If you have any more ?s just PM me and ill do me best to help

    Yep they are still stock for the time being. I'm swapping out the battery for a marine grade one @ the end of the year. I have a Pelfreybilt battery holder for it but can't justify spending $200+ on a new battery quite yet

    Ya I remember you telling me that earlier, I just ordered my winch and got my blue sea fuse block and was unsure about the terminals.

    Just finished my Grillcraft grill and TOYOTA letters up front. Used heavy duty 3M tape to put the letters on. Thought I might have to use epoxy but that 20#sq/in 3M tape it legit

    I saw the brackets but $50 just for brackets when the whole kit costs $120. Can't justify spending that when tape/magnets/ or epoxy will do the same. I'll still prob get em if I can't fab something up myself but damn $50 for brackets :/ WTF am I talking about.....I just payed $125 for a 50" light bar bracket. $50 is like half priced. Haha

    I'm getting a snorkel n a few weeks. Gonna need your help/tools for install

    Thanks! I'm not happy with my suspension set up but it was much better than it was. Baby steps $$$$$. I have a case of the shimmies when I go over small bumps :/
    Nothing 5-10gs worth of suspension work won't fix :'(
