**OFFICIAL** T/X & T/X Pro Owners Thread

Got some pic finally posted. Added some 20% tint, weathertechs, and a slim tool box.

 

I thought the new weathertechs hadn't come out for the 2012s yet? Did you just get the early model and mount them differently?

 

whaaassuup deadhed61. my truck is a 2011. i heard about weathertechs not being available until middle of summer for the 2012 tacoma. i guess maybe they have a little different floor setup?

love my TX. i see you got the TX Pro. is the TRD exhaust worth it? (i know there's many posts and threads on peoples opinion with the TRD exhaust). just wanted to know what you thought. Since mine is the TX, it came with black steps and wheels, no TRD exhaust.

 

Didn't even see that yours was a 2011.....The 2012 are essentially exactly the same except for the mounting points. I guess after the Toyota gas pedal recall they had to change that.

I LOVE the TRD exhaust so far! It's loud enough and throat-y enough to notice its there, but not over powering and annoying on long drives. Personally, I can't stand driving a truck/car that is loader, so it's perfect for me!

 

go tx and tx/pros!!!
i love my trd exhaust sounds great!!

 

dammit.. now i kinda want me some TRD exhaust. as with most things i don't really NEED it, but... we'll see. i wish i would have told them to just add it at the stealership when I bought it, but i didn't.

i know it's a whole different subject.. but i think i'd really like one of those Tuffy Storage boxes for the bed. I can't believe toyota didn't put locks on those things. But they're $180.. kinda expensive.

keep on TX and TX PRO... and I"ll change my profile so it shows the 2011 year.

 

You can add a simple lock from Home Depot to make those storage spaces a LITTLE more safe. It's pretty easy and cheap. It's just they're made out of plastic and are also accessible from under the rear fender, so if someone really wants to get in them, they will. I was thinking about just fabbing up my own out of some scrap stainless to replace them but it's not my first priority for the truck right now.

 

That's probably what I'll do (add the locks). I found that thread on TW that was very helpful using the cabinet locks from Home Depot or Lowes. And like you said, if someone wants them that bad, they'll always find a way. I only keep my bungee cords, ropes, cheap flashlight, and zip ties in them anyway.

 

I was finally able to take my baby out on her first trail. Had a blast!!

 

Wish we had mountains in south texas... ^^^^^I still think my 2011 tacoma is better than your 2012 tacom....lol.... im just jelous....

 

DID YOU CHANGE YOUR TIRES AND DID YOU GET A LIFT KIT...??

 

Nope, still bone stock! After yesterday though, I know I'm getting sliders and skids front to back! And this needs to happen now!!!

 

Check out ATO skids, I think he is going to do another group buy soon.

 

Yeah I've been looking at those cause they sound pretty solid, but for the complete kit, they are a ton of $$. which I don't understand cause it's just bent sheet metal. Gotta see how much it will cost to re-route my TRD cat back exhaust too...... But if a GB was going on soon, I'd definitely get on board if it was worth it.....

 

I wanna play

 

heres mine: But I just debadged today, I will post pics when I get the sliders on......

 

First mod was a 6k HID kit
then... SNUGTOP Camper shell

That was it for quite a while as I gathered parts
First item on the list was Dr coilovers & Camburg UCA's
awhile later I picked up some DEAVER J66 leafs and pro comp rear shocks
after doing some research i figured I might need the sway bar relocators so I picked those up on EBAY for 20bucks
trying to decide what wheel/tire combo to go with, I realized that I wanted to keep the factory TX wheels and I picked up decent but used set of 295/75/16 BFG AT's.

December came around and so did Christmas
I got and installed my weathertech window visors and got 5% tint all around

as of yesterday January 13th 2012 I had installed all of my gathered parts and this is how he sits now!!! Hope you like!!!

Oh! Also added a 13" stubby factory looking antenna


This was when I picked up the shell from Lake Havasu





Of course I couldn't keep it white... I stopped by Maaco to get a quote and they told me something like 250 or something. I told them WTF you guys paint entire cars for that price LOL so I decided to get some primer and color match paint then some clear.







Not to bad for about 50bucks





6K HID's and my car hauler



My first flat on a truck ever... I'm sure that's obvious by the placement of the jack and don't mind the pups in the bed in the next pic LOL





Getting ready to wash the car for the race the following day...







Windows tinted 5% all around







WeatherTech window visors were very easy to install. They are very thin and I love em'!



You can't even see them from the front because they're so thin...



January 13th morning before I dropped him off for his lift!





The moment he grew up!



















13" antenna


Well this is where I ended up just under a year after I bought the truck. Comments are welcome good or bad... Thanks TW for all the info I gathered over the year so far!

How much lift did you get front and back? Any rubbing when wheeling??

 

3" front and about 1.5 to 2" in the back.. I haven't taken it wheeling yet but it doesn't rub while daily driving.. When I do take it through some trails, i'll post how it goes..
