    2012 Double Cab Baja
    Posting for the first time here. I just purchased a 2012 BAJA DCSB and I am really enjoying it. I traded my very much modified 08 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and 11 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited. I decided I didn't need two vehicles to do the work of one so I thought the Baja would combine the best of both worlds.

    I have read through a lot of the posts regarding how it would be cheaper to upgrade a TRD Off Road and for the most part I think those posters might be right but after upgrading my Rubicon over the last 3 years and spending the hours and cash it sure was nice to find the Baja pkg offering upgrades that I was going to do anyway. My time is worth the money I spent.

    I live in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania and travel the East Coast for work so if you see my truck give me a shout out.

    By the way, I am a former Toyota salesmen so I already know the value of the brand and its reliability.

    I like the graphics. It makes the truck stand out in a crowd. A lot of people have been looking it over in the parking lots and in the woods. Good input so far!:D
