TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

What's not to like, love mine. Put a new protective coat in it and it will be good as new.

 

Eh, I just like the look of a truck without a cap. But it will be handy for camping/winter trips to keep stuff dry.

 

@hack4875 Buy some raggtopp:

$73 RaggTopp Premium Fabric Convertible Top Kit

It will bring the topper back to life and you would love it.

 

Beadlocks removed. I ordered this to plug the screw holes. $17 shipped for 48 of them:

 

Didnt like the look of it with just the stock allen bolts in the holes?

 

The stock bolts are too long without the beadlock ring. The heads stick out with about 1/8 inch of threads showing

 

Looks good!!

 

Met my limits with the stock bumper over the weekend. Time to look into a high clearance rear bumper!

 

Ok, I got my Baja TX back in January and I am getting to the point where I am changing it up a bit. Down the road when I get the money I will probably do a lift but for now, I would really like to level out the truck. I notice that the rear sits lower than the front and raising that is the main goal currently. I haul things from time to time but mainly it is used for camping and very light off-roading to get to the campsites. I have tried to go through the thread as much as possible but I am still a little confused on the options. Local 4 wheel parts store said to put in a block/spacer but I wonder if an AAL would be better. My truck is all stock and at 70k should I change anything else while I'm upgrading this?

Second, those who have the black rims were those with the truck or did you paint them. Mine are currently silver and would like to get them black.

 

The black rims that you see are on the TRD Pro models. The Baja’s are anthracite and more scarce. An AAL would suit your needs but if you plan on hauling or towing some, I would replace the whole leaf pack. Stay away from blocks

 

Kinda depends on how much you want to spend. Im going to be installing Icon RXT leaf packs later this week. I hear good things.. Sounds like those in Option 1 might be good for your needs

The black TRD wheels are a factory finish. Ive even seen some in bronze, but not 100% sure those are factory though. Seems like theres not a ton of information about these particular wheels for some reason

 

The bronze are factory finish. They could be purchased from the dealership without a VIN or special edition

 

@hack4875 what black center caps are those?

 

Stock, I just painted them.

 

So I have the Baja on the stock Bilsteins with the Toytec spacer. Running 285's with only minor rubbing. I think my lift over stock is 2.5"? but not sure. Im thinking to upgrade to Kings, but wondering what size kings I should be looking at. Id like to lift another 1/2"-1". Also thinking Icon. Suggestions??

 

Loving the rims without the beadlock ring. Finally got black hardware installed in the ring holes

 

It is only recommended to go up to 3" of lift due to the angle of the CV axles.
Either 119/121 or 119A/121A are both 2.5" shocks and will allow you to adjust your ride height up front with the CO. The difference between those two kits would be the availability of compression adjustment. My suspension is set at about 2.25" or so. (22 1/4" fender to hub iirc)

Between King vs Icon, its a progressive vs digressive shock. Icon does have more "options" from their 2.5 and 2.0's and the available complete kits with ucas , AAL or full replacement leaf packs.
