    I have always thought of the "Rust prevention" coatings as a joke? Dont they just wear off. I thought the best thing to do is regular car washes and spraying the underbody.

    Does it come with the same floor carpet as the FJ Cruiser?

    What about the normal off-road package?

    Is the drone of the cat back exhaust tolerable on your Baja Edition, or does it get annoying at times?

    I've read that it does become intolerable.
    I may just have to go with an Off Road tacoma
    without a cat back exhaust.

    Let me know.

    Undercoating, first thing I had done with my 2012 tacoma. May be differing opinions, but my family has long trusted ziebart. And regretted the few we didn't bother with. My dealer did an excellent job, covered it all as he should have, washed and ready for me in a decent time. Important: I will take it in every year and get it touched up. Do it yourself? Unless you have a lift and want to do lots of cleaning up, doesn't seem worth it to me.

    I have over 7,000 miles on my Baja and the exhaust sound does not bother me. Many of those miles are trips over four hours in length.

    that is a nice truck!!

    i am not that familiar with the Baja edition..all those cool suspension bits are OEM? i know they are slightly taller than an offroad truck..

    that looks so much better with the graphics removed..(same goes for the raptor..shhh)

    Where did you order the color match Grill?
    I just picked up a black Baja and a Black Grill would look sweet

    Nice Truck so far!! May I suggest plasti-dipping or even line-xing the front valance.. I hating the ugly grayish color of it.. So I plasti-dipped it and cleared it. So now it match's the grille color... (actually black) :)

    Thanks Truck is still running great. No shake or anything. Only 6000 miles so far.

    Thanks

    Yeah I hate that as well. I have never heard of that. Is that something you do yourself or did you bring it somewhere?

    When they undercoat it, do they wrap up the shocks, brake lines, etc? so they don't spray undercoat on everything???
