    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.

    After all that, you're selling the truck?

    Where/what you going to?

    It really wasn't that big of a deal. i can get most of my $ back out of it. it is an awesome suspension package, and it was really fun to drive everyday.

    We have 3rd and 5th gen 4Runners that we are driving for now. The truck is paid for and we would rather have the cash somewhere making interest, or invest in real estate, instead of having it sit there and depreciate.

    I'll get another one someday.

    minus the brake bracket for the rear?

    using the part number from your thread i have had better luck with toyota, so far best deal is

    $1216.75 plus $40 est shipping (texas-kansas) for the new kit from the dealer.

    again, thank you for doing it first and posting it on here! :)

    sure, no problem.

    Can you post the dealership info so others can get in on that deal too?

    I sure will as soon as my order is complete and I know its legitimate and toyota doesnt cancel the order like some on your thread were talking about I will post all of the info on your thread and mine.

    Im sure hoping it works out. I think it will the dealer runs a site and I have ordered other trd parts from them in the past so my hopes are high.

    Why not add a icon suspension to what you already have, the Baja is a nice truck but wwwwaaaayyyyy over priced for what you get.

    Do they even offer a Canadian Baja package?

    Either way, I'd never by a stock Baja because they don't come in DCLB.

    But now my Baja suspension is installed on the truck i need/want and its totally awesome and cheaper!

    5/8 of the reason i dont have a DCLB is they dont offer a offroad package (id settle for any package with a locker)
    1/8 is if say my GF needed to be my DD for the night and drive home from dinner or something, she couldnt drive it.
    1/4 of a reason is the wheelbase is soo long i couldnt swing my trailer into my back yard. the alley is narrow and theres a huge tree, phone pole and my nieghbors fence.

    besided, the access cab means less people try to Bum rides from me and saves me gas. I bet your truck is pretty :)

    that looks to be a pretty good price to me, but I am now just doing the suspension since i know how much cheaper its going to end up vs trade

    and i could never be happy in another DC SB i use my truck to haul junk too much. I never thought 1 ft would make such a profound difference in PITA factor but it does, for me. Obviously many many other people are perfectly happy with it!

    I have a question as i have no idea.
    What would be a fair asking price to sell all of the parts coming off my truck and my mothers truck (doing hers as well).

    Trd offroad OEM front spring/shock and rear shocks (6805 miles today)
    Trd sprt OEM front spring/shock and rear shocks (16k miles)

    I dont know if there is a demand or a need or if i should scrap them, or keep them for if the truck ever sells. I know when my 2008 4cyl needed shocks i looked at a set of take off's on ebay but i dont remember what they were asking. Could not find any last nite.

    my advice would be to keep the oem stuff. you would get less than $200 for an oem setup.
