2012 Baja owners

3 weeks and tons of fun. No plans for suspension changes. It's GTG as is for what I need-I probably use it a lot more for what it's intended to do than most people with lifts in my area. Brute Force incoming, debating where to place a Morimoto Light Bar, OEM rack with Baja Rack on the way. Snug Top Slim on. Factory matched grill done.

 

Can you paste the link of where you got the Baja rack

 

I bought a red double cab automatic back in June. Has entune/nav, towing package, etc. I added black tube steps, cargo divider, bug shield, tonneau cover and swapped out the Toyota all weather mats for a set of Weather Techs.

I just turned over 5000 miles this week. I really like this truck. It rides exceptionally well on the highway and performs great off road. Looking forward to some heavy snow this winter to see how well it does with that.

 

Do not understand how I've gotten more compliments in 2 Weeks than I ever got on my Tundra... But Ill take it! and the lady friend is happy because she can actually get in it now! (Shes 5'2")

The Educator:


The photos makes it look like she's got some serious cali lean...

Im calling the new Baja Nikki Minaj because shes a little... well you know.

 

Matte grill graft on. Loving the Baja!

 

Im waiting to see if someone sells their suspension. I am down if its reasonable otherwise Im just going Icon.

 

Anyone thought about putting a 3" body lift on their Baja?!?!!??

 

i sure hope not!!!

 

That's a TX pro (or whatever) with baja decals on it. The Baja was only made in 2012 (maybe 2013, too.) but definitely not before.

 

Don't ruin your nice and expensive truck with something as shitty as a 3" body lift. If you need to clear bigger tires, get a 1" body lift or something. 3" is dangerous and looks horrible!!! Don't ruin your pretty truck!

 

yea I do not want to ruin it LOL, just was wondering as I would like to get a little bit taller tire when the BFG's are worn out

 

Just buy a taller suspension lift and sell your suspension.

 

You could throw on 1/2" top spacers in the front, that would give you an extra inch lift. In the back you could add a 1" block or something. These two options would be the cheapest route to gain some lift for bigger tires. Def don't do a big body lift though... it will not look right.

 

Just to let you know I've had BFG all terrians on all my trucks and the wife's old 4 Runner and they all got over 100k. So it'll be awhile before they wear out.

 

LOL, not doing that!

 

Ok cool thanks for the info, possible you can paste a link here to where I can find that?

 

Guess I won't be changing them anytime soon then as I only have a little over 800 miles on the truck!

 

Nope lol

 

Curious what others are getting for MPG? Because right now I am barely getting 14MPG driving it normal. I've got about 850 miles on her now. I am not expecting Prius MPG, but I'd expect it to better than my Tundra with a 5.7L and 35" Tires...

I also noticed some new things on this truck, compared to my 2009 Tacoma.

- Emissions blower.
- Brakes are MUCH better.
- Lower A-Arm looks different.
- Truck rides surprisingly well for being "lifted".
- Black paint is much better (Black Tundra's would get swirl marks if you looked at it wrong.) Toyota defiantly changed something up. (It's true black, not the black sand pearl.) There were some light water marks that I hit with some light compounding, but it took a little more pressure than I am use to with a Toyota.

 

I get about 16 city and 18-23 highway that's what my scangauge says anyway. I was getting about 14 until i hit around a 1000k. I have the 6spd.
