TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Nice. Maybe I'll see if Harbor Freight has some tools. It's not a huge deal. Was just gonna pop them off the other day to see how they looked dipped black. Then I noticed how hard they were to get off. Thanks for the reply.

Edit: Does anyone have a front and back photo available of the centercaps? I can always pop a wheel off this weekend and take a look.

 

This is what I have and it worked like a champ

 

I know these are the for the 17s but the 16s look the same.......

Thanks again man

 

I dipped my center caps with the wheels on the truck. It wasn't too much of a PITA to tape off, and it turned out good. I have the gray wheels, so I used the anthracite gray color to match and did my badges/emblem at the same time (Pics: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ur-tacoma-today.6499/page-3201#post-10171734). I wasn't sure that I liked the color-matched center caps at first, but they are starting to grow on me.

 

so whats the largest tire i can put on my pro with the factory suspension,, ?? without any rubbing

 

I have 295/65/18 with very minor trimming.....I'm sure a 285 wouldn't rub without any trimming. 285's should fit the factory bead baja wheels.

 

Just finished up a few more mods......

 

How did you do the center caps?

Edit: also.... Wow. Looks awesome

 

Thank you......my friend did them at his bodyshop . He said he sprayed the whole cap black and then sanded the black off the letters to expose the red again and then applied the satin clear coat .

I really like the way the hood turned out . I had my doubts at first but after the finished product was done , I was really happy . I am a fan of the scooped hood but I got hit with the dreaded glare that I heard people talking about , and that I thought there was no way it could be that bad , so I did something different . I also made the hood a functional cowl hood so you can really see the heat escaping .

 

Very nice looking truck!!! Where did you get the hood???

 

thank you......the hood is custom made from an OEM non-scoop hood .

 

I read somewhere that the TRD Pro comes with additional undercarriage armor compared to the TRD offroad.
Can anyone confirm or deny this is true?

 

I can take a pic of the undercarriage if you want?

 

Looks great, tell who ever did it they did a great job......just noticed your from El Paso, I have a bunch of family that lives there.

 

To the best of my knowledge.....no, it does not. It does come with the trd front skid plate but I wouldn't exactly consider it armor....hope this helps.

If you got the TRD Front skid on a Taco Pro it was a dealer add on. Not OEM. Skids are all stock TRD OR stuff.

 

Dude.. More pictures of that hood man.

 

TX suspension arrived today for my (cough, 2014) TX Baja. I haven't opened the box yet. Stock piling parts and then the suspension upgrades will begin. I will be searching for members who have upgraded to the TRD suspension and asking lots of install questions. Thanks Rich at Morristown Toyota!
