Appljaxx's 2012 build

Looks great, the new front end is growing on me as well. You are going to love the DWreck sliders, real easy to install without any drilling involved. Did have to slightly relocate the brake lines running along the backside of the drivers side frame rail to prevent any possible chafing on the slider bolts.

 

Nice build, man!!!! 2012 > '05-'11 for sure!!!

(but still not as good as a first gen..... )

 

I completely missed that you are running the dakars. The stock leafs are prone to squeaking, that's what I was referring to

 

beautiful lookin truck there sir. might i ask how u got ur hands on those rims? ive been wanting some forever and i cant seem to get my hands on them. i work at toyota and they wont even order them for me

 

are the 2012 dakars the same as the 05-11?

 

Nice truck...I kind of wish I got my truck in white now.

 

Love the 2012 front end. I would love to rock a 2012 Headlight and grille on my truck! ​

 

There has been a modification to the dakars in the last couple of years, The mod flattens out the bottom the leaf curve to increase the life of the spring. Im not sure what year they first started doing this.

This was not a modification to fit the 2012, only to increase the usable life of the component.

 

Persistence. I ordered these 5 separate times and each time the dealer (or website) took my money and came back a couple of days later with "toyota will not release these wheels to you."

I even submitted a vin for a TT edition FJ along with my order. The last time i think i just got lucky, the dealer seemed to be in a real rush and they sent me the wheel.

FYI, it is easier to order one wheel rather than 4 or 5. If you order 4 toyota makes you submit proof of your loss via an insurance claim form or a police report. Good luck.

 

BOSS

 

Thanks for the reply. I bought a set a few months ago and now since my truck was hit for the second time in less than four months I have decided to consider looking at the possibility of trading in the 2011 for a 2012.

Good to know the components will work.

 

yeah i havent actually ordered them, but i was going to and the guys in parts just said no can do... kinda sucks, but ill figure it out eventually, anyways, they look great on your taco and im feelin the bhlm on the `12s as well. i might have actually just creamed my pants a little after seeing some of those pics, well maybe that was a little exaggerated, but u get the point, anyways, good luck! imma stay subbed cuz im really interested in seeing how bad ass these 2012s can look. so far im impressed

 

Great looking truck. Love those wheels

 

How's the VSC working with your lift?

 

Zero problems so far. I hadn't even thought of it until I read your post. I did not do the calibration yet, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

AWESOME!

 

I want those wheels bad for my 2012! Love the setup!

 

Whats the ABS switch mod?
