TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Can anyone tell me if this Tacoma is a real TX model https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/5TFLU4EN0EX099320 or someone added stickers.

It look like it has after market shocks in the rear peeking out in one of the pictures.

 

Looks like it.

 

I didn't know there was TRD Off Road sticker was on the TX model.

 

It’s a TRD Offroad with the Baja beadlock style wheels. The tires are different(could have been changed), the rears are Bilstein 5160 aftermarket(can tell by the remote resi clamp), I see red coils up front but there is rake to its stance(maybe an AAL in the rear?). Mismatched decals/badges

 

Holy crap the tailgate is a billboard lol. I see the bedside TX graphic slapped on there, the OEM chrome badges, TRD decal, TRD badge, and possibly some other red badge above the chrome

 

It's a wannabe.

Is it worth the asking price?

 

That’s on the higher side I personally think. About as high as the person slapping on all those stickers and badges lol

 

This is why I ask. To many emblems, stickers was added.

What do you think it's worth?

 

I mean I could be wrong and maybe the one of the previous owners removed the original Baja graphics and put on a TRD Offroad bedside plus numerous others, added an AAL and changed the tires. But I still doubt it’s a Baja.

I would guess in the lower $20k’s

 

If you proceed to offer, tell them you’ll need the savings for the Goo Gone you’re going to need to remove most of those decals and badges haha

 

Is there any I can find out what model this is?

I like Stoner's Tarminator better than Goo Gone. The truck look to confuse. Probably a identity complex.

 

I don’t unfortunately, you’d have to see it in person. If I remember correctly, VIN’s for Baja models pull up as Off Road so that wouldn’t be of help

 

If I call my local dealer, can they find out what model it is with the VIN?

 

You could try, it wouldn’t hurt

 

Hopefully the stickers and all the others stuff comes off easy, if I get it.

 

The stickers are easy, even when I removed the bedside ones after 5 years of non-garaged Hawaii’s sun. The badges on the other hand lol. Then again I used my gf’s hairdryer since I don’t have a heat gun

 

I just a Rav4 badges with dental floss. What a pain that was. The gloss kept on breaking. Then removing the adhesive was a pain. Goo Gone had a hard time removing the adhesive, I then tried Stoner's Tarminator with better results. Then I had to compound all the faded area.

 

Yeah the dental floss I used kept breaking as well lol. My fingers that were wrapped were getting raw. You’re also right about Goo Gone for the badges, doesn’t get it off easily and completely

 

No one I know goes fishing so I can't use fishing line. The Toyota symbol was easy to get off it was the words that was a pain. I also tried twisting 2 pieces of dental floss to thicken the line up but it kept on breaking.

The AWD badges I'm going to leave it on. People doing state inspection are to lazy to look to see if it AWD. They will put the SUV on the dyno and mess up my AWD system.

 

Before you get too confused and frustrated, I’d suggest calling Deavers. They are competitively priced and superior(imo) to what you are currently looking at.
