TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

I think about getting another car but then I ask what was the point of the S/C if I am not enjoying it everyday.

Main reason I want another car is as a backup and to be able to do big projects on the truck that take longer than a weekend.

 

Fuck that’s my problem. Killing time and waiting for my truck to be done at a shop gets old

 

Agreed man and back on the east I could road bike to work...here in AZ everything is way too far to do that. Only major thing left is to cage my cab, but yea I need another vehicle to be able to drop it off for that length of time.

 

So glad I kept my Charger when I bought the truck. Daily driver mod is best mod

 

To far and TO FUCKING HOT

 

Well when I got my current Tacoma it was pre discovery of TW and I traded in my early model 2nd Gen SR5 because I didn't want to pay 3k to replace the cats. If I had known about TW before then I probably would have kept that truck ... but then I wouldn't be in this tread because it wasn't a Baja or Pro.

But yeah now that I am older and smarter the truck stays and a third car is on the list.

The cats were only part of the reasoning. Old truck didn't have bluetooth / nav / backup camera / etc...


Funny thing is my current truck doesn't have bluetooth and nav because I ripped out the factory head unit and went with a single DIN and have never hooked up the mic.

Never used the factor NAV as it ended up being shit and it was easier to use a phone.

 

A decent beater is $2-3k. $3,000 buys you 40 days in a rental car or 100+ Uber’s. The insurance on a spare car will cost you one car rental a month. Then add up maintenance and all the other costs.

Jon Lovitz was on Spike Ferestens car podcast a few months ago. The question came up to the extent ‘why do you like the cars you like’. And Jon summed it up perfectly. (Paraphrasing / butchering) “If you own cars that are fun to drive, then everywhere you go...you have fun”.

I drive 45k+ per year for work, on and off construction sites. I used to own a bunch of fun German cars and sold my soul a little to do this job in basic half tons 12 years ago. They have all been nice trucks but ehh boring. My Baja is soo much worse on the highway than my old Silverado LT. But it is fun to drive. I love looking back at it, working on it, and going places with it. So yah, does it suck a little on a long highway trip? Yes. Would a more comfortable vehicle be a more enjoyable experience? No.

Prime example: I never would have taken my old Silverados out to meet some other forum members on the cape cod seashore. But this weekend I took my kids out for a really cool and memorable adventure.

Sooo a 2015 inferno pro with 56k miles should be listed in dealer inventory shortly...
Would be interesting to see if it'd end back up on here with a new member.

 

What else could anyone want after owning a Pro??

 

What. Did. You. Do??

 

Rawr

 

........speechless

 

I ended up getting into a raptor

 

*ecoboost noise*

 

Very nice truck. I can’t believe you got rid of your pro...

 

Oh you went big sized @BVita! I’m happy for you & look forward to hearing your impressions of Super Taco Vs Super Ford

 

Would anyone happen to know if......the 3rd gen TRD Pro rigid fogs fit a 2nd gen 12-15. The lights and housing?

 

I have them on my 4Runner love them but honestly the KC's on my Baja Kick their azz! Plus they would look odd in the factory round fog location...

 

I have Baja designs squadrons on my truck know. I like these little 3rd gen rigids and wanna know if they fit the 2nd gens

 

Waiting for white on white with TEs
