    There are some dealers selling the Baja parts now, and I don't mean just the badges or wheels :anonymous:

    You need to turn those tires around and run those ugly letters on the inside.

    I called my local dealer and they confirmed that I could buy the Baja suspension kit for $1500.00.

    Have you guys had experience with the Baja vs. stock TRD Off Road and/or any other coil over suspension systems?

    I still have not been able to settle on what type of lift to get and this is an option.

    This is the list of stuff they said is included:

    Front shocks
    Front Springs
    Front Jounce Bumper Spacer
    Front Jounce Bumper
    Rear Shocks
    Rear Brake Line Spacer

    Doesn't it need new brake lines? I thought the Baja came with a different leaf pack (or at least an add a leaf)?

    yeah the bull bar Im starting to get annoyed with, but i like the steps. They are like half running boards, half rock sliders.

    Anyone got a 2014 Baja yet? I just got mine a week ago and I'm wanting to put 285's on the TRD wheels, just wondering if the factory suspension lift can compensate for the 285/70R16?

    Did you feel any difference in driving with the bumper + winch? I'm getting Pelfreybilt Bumpers, skids, and sliders (got aluminum where i could). I was told it would be best to upgrade my entire suspension system. I'd prefer not to.
