    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    Flexibility offroad, for me I drove across a lot of ruts at low speed in the other truck and it makes it less jerky back and forth.

    On road you get a little extra body roll, but its not bad or unmanageable. Its pretty easy to pull off and try it out you can always slap it back on.

    Yup...that makes sense. That's why I love this site, I learn something new all the time. I'm definitely gonna go off roading with a local group by me that goes often. I'll see how it goes and take it from there.

    I bought one from matt123 (bpfabricating) it's 10g steel, black, and the TRD logo stamped in it. I'm happy with it. It serves it's purpose for me. Have to see how itl hold up once it actually has to be used as armor.

    So I park beside a factory issue TRD Off Road ...

    trd_offroad_front_zps7difppef_e29d0dc7e903f59d34bff58a67eb36f327d9f71b.jpg

    ... and took a closer look ...

    trd_offroad_between_zpsa4zgu9i2_f493d941e179e26b870af12da5dbcb3a5fb11682.jpg

    Which one is the Off Road vehicle of choice?

    trd_offroad_rear_zpsjd2whvwh_6446fbf737f99f26ea61aa77ef6e3f17d772335d.jpg

    I can't wait to park beside a factory Pro when I go to the US of A this summer.

    Just razzin', Guys ... Please don't be offended; I've probably spent way more money than the cost of a Pro.

    BTW: Pro grill insert and OEM black head lights coming this next week. I'll keep ya posted.

    Hey guys. I threw this on my thread but figured you could use it to.

    One more change from baja to pro is rubber coated lines.

    I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but I will see what you guys think. I have a 2013 Baja with roughly 35k miles on it. My rear bilsteins look like they are 5 years old. There is a lot of rust and corrosion building up on them. Most of it is near the hose connections and on the hose. Do you think i would get anything out of contacting Toyota about replacing them? They are a real sore eye on a beautiful truck, and its bugging me knowing it's there. I am from Northern Indiana, and the truck was garage kept the first whole year I had it. It was cleaned almost every week except during winter. During winter it was sprayed off multiple times to keep salt off (sand/dirt mostly used locally). When cleaning the truck I payed specific detail to cleaning them off. I will try and grab a photo and upload it tomorrow morning. Maybe I will just replace them within the next couple months. Just hate to spend the extra money on something that should last!

    Dude is borderline maniacal about machinery, don't believe that North Carolina location, he's a Kansas farm boy. Kansas farm boys are that way, believe me, they see anything
    You put the aftermarket Baja kit on two trucks, right? What was that about a year ago in Kansas? I can buy into the Baja kit was a stiff ride, no doubt about that.

    How does the Pro work on washboards? I loved the Baja on washboards highspeed accelerating uphill and braking downhill, I thought that was a well tuned suspension system. Any comparison?
