Did you install the winch yourself? Any install photos, or write up??

 

Tires are 285/75R16 Toyo MT's
They fit absolutely perfect on the TRD Beadlocks, the backspace is ideal

 

I did do the winch myself, sorry no write up. It is pretty straight forward though. I removed the front aluminum backing bumper and used the 3 mounting locations on either side of the frame for the winch mount, I also used one of the lower holes that was available for extra strength, that required a 3/8 bolt about 4" long.
Basically its just 3 pieces. 2 side brackets, mirrored. 1/4" steel bent to a 90º and a baseplate that goes in between that is bent at 90º front and back. The baseplate has the mounting holes for the winch and slotted and thru holes in the front for the fairlead. I did slot the mounting holes for the winch because I needed to ba able to fine tune the location of the winch to clear the little tube that comes out of the radiator. I also had to divorce the solenoid on the winch but most winches are already like that, mine was not. The fairlead could be any fairlead really, I made mine because I could but a store bought would work.
I mounted the side plates and set the baseplate in the sweet spot and welded it up. Then put bumper cover back on, marked the two holes where the fairlead goes, ran a bolt thru the holes and traced the fairlead on the bumper, carefully jigsawed it out about 1/4" oversize and put the rubber trim on it for a clean finish.

 

Awesome little description. Thanks for the info!!

 

I got mine in Feb. 2011 here in the Denver area. Love the truck after a year of driving it. Just started researching more mods for it. Looking at a 3" suspension lift to give it a little more clearance and beef. When I get that on i'll post some pics. Upgrading to BFG All Terrain 285/75/16 once the lift goes on with the same black bead-lock wheels.

Has anyone ever put that cold air intake on? I am thinking about throwing that on as well and have not read any reviews. Adds a few horsepower but not much I guess. I'm more worried it might make it annoyingly loud. Anyone?

 

After trying to get my hands on a Blue TX Pro and it being sold the day prior, I had ordered one from the local dealership. I was told on Jan 20th it had been allocated from the factory but when I went in on Friday I learned they could not locate the file or show one had been ordered. To say the least I was not happy since Toyota has 1.9% financing on Tacoma's in my area till March 5. After some other issues with the dealership I was dealing with, I found a MGM DCSB 4x4 TX Pro at another dealership and bought it that day. Happy to be done with the searching and waiting. Glad I went in to check and see what was up with my order, but life is all good now

 

Yes, can not tell the difference on noise from inside the cab. There is a few horses gained.

 

Thanks for the information. I'm going to get it installed this weekend.

 

Ordered Back In july A T/x Pro,Now Baha,Has Anyone Seen Any On The Street Yet,or Got 1.Ordered A black,6Sp,D-cab,No Word from Dealer

 

x2 but only when driving normal. I have the old style TRD intake and that thing is loud when I step on it to pass someone up.

 

Anyone know what a good price for the new TRD intakes would be?

 

The mine came in I was there to see it come off the truck. When it did I heard 3 of the sales men behind me asking the sales manager why they don't have any of these on the lot. My truck was the first TX Pro that had been ordered from their dealership. I felt great knowing that I had one of only a few.

 

Kind of like being a Marine.

 

Still Looking to See If Any One Got A Baha yet

 

To the best of my knowledge, the Baja ain't out yet. But if you upgrade you suspension with a 2" lift, then you got one! Minus the saaaaweeet graphics.

 

That's badass.

 

Just did the LED lighting under the hood. Only thing thing that I noticed it does not like heat so you will need to let your engine cool down before you open your hood if not you might have a few LED's out until the engine compartment cools down. Just put in my order for my Super Charger tonight. Can't wait for it to come in and installed.

 

Leds look great ^^^^^^

 

Nice trucks all. For some reason the TXs look more raked than the normal TRDs. Are they? Like the wheels but not a fan of the tires.

 

I was at the gym today and pulled in next to this dude with his black pre runner TX. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy but I see him now and then around base.
