TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

the tires were $188 plus tax and install......I paid $889.90 OTD from Americas Tire.....

 

As a general rule, stuff that's used but in great condition goes for 65% of the new price (excluding tax, shipping, install, etc), +/- 10%.
I'm guessing $1000-1200 will be a fair price on your set, so starting at $1600 like @itaro suggested sounds about right.

 

I got my TRD pro wheels with Rugged trails for 500.

 

Finally got rid of the Baja decals. Gave it a year but never got used to them. Which one do you guys like better, before or after?

 

After

 

Sorry this took so long. Had to find the pictures.

 

Aw, your baby pictures lol

 

Now she's all growed up.

 

ok, see here's what I found out......my stock TRD PRO rims weigh 23.50 lbs and the LT 265/75/16 BFG KO2 load range E tires weigh 53.57 lbs......so the grand total is 77.07 lbs per rim & tire.

the TRD 17-IN. MATTE BLACK ALLOY WHEEL - Toyota (

$1,025 PTR20-35110-BK (Fits: 4Runner - Tacoma - FJ Cruiser) (4)

PTR20-35110-BK) rim weighs 24.69 lbs and the LT 265/70/17 BFG KO2 load range C tires weighs 45.72 lbs.......so the grand total is 70.41 lbs per rim & tire.

so the 17" rim and tire combo weighs 6.66 lbs or 8.64% LESS per wheel.....that seem pretty decent.....and hopefully worth an extra MPG or so??....I hope!

 

and yes, I bite the bullet and made the purchase!....here's the before and after's....sorry it's dark out but had to share....

 

thanks for the photo......but I bought the new rims and tires tonight....

 

Looks good!!

 

Looks great. I have the same wheels in gunmetal on my wife's 4Runner with 285s

 

Looks good with or without the graphics. I got a red Baja as well and when I went to glass I tried hard to find a way to retain the graphic. I might one day throw something on as it would also help hide the stripes on the bedsides, but the graphic was the only thing that to me really said you were a "Baja" instead of a Pro. That said though, I think component wise the Baja and the pro tx are the same thing. Must be my socal roots that keep the love for the "Baja" strong.

 

That is why I went with Black on Black... I like the look of BoB. Makes for waxing a bit of pain...

 

Mine never had the big decals either.......

 

Looks great!

 

My dream driveway adornments, VW Syncro vanagon and TRD Pro. I'm halfway there, just need the syncro

 

I actually just did a lot of research on a similar scenario and have been logging numbers on my ScanGauge to back it up. I went from the exact same TX Pro wheel and tire combo (I weighed them on the scale and confirmed 78lbs) to stock steelies with 245 AT20's which weigh in at 57lbs or 27% less weight (keep in mind this weight is mostly concentrated at the outer circumference). The rolling resistance of a highway tire which is 8% narrower should be much lower than that of an all terrain.

Now here's the difference: a heavier tire in motion doesn't require additional fuel to stay in motion, however weight will affect MPG in acceleration and braking. The rolling resistance is really your biggest factor, especially on highway MPG.

Numbers: I am seeing 1-2MPG highway and probably 2-3 city.

Not losing any rolling resistance and just a few pounds will unlikely yield any savings, I hope that's not really why you bought them.
