TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

My bad. Should have mentioned that I was referring to the front.

 

Can't really tell if it's the front or back, but the entore ride is just way softer. steering feels more responsive, but that could very well be a placebo effect.

One thing for sure, it's *feels* better than it ever has.

 

I have the AAL with overload in and was wanting to bring the front up a little. One day I will also rock 285's

Well you got my next set-up. 285's and the I inch front lift. Rock on brother

 

All this talk makes me want to copy you guys with the toytec spacer, icon aals, and the 285's
Either @pruchai or @ellzy_21, do the 285's stick out past the fenders? Could I bug one of you guys to take a picture along the side? Also I'm assuming you guys arent running wheel spacers?

 

This is with 1.25 wheel spacers.

 

No wheel spacers here....and they seem to be almost perfectly flush with the fenders.

 

Cool thanks guys!

 

I got no wheel spacers and mine stick out maybe 1/4", if that.

 

Cool, Thanks for posting too!

 

Adio, do you have a write up on how got got the switch to fit and how you wired it up?

 

So the wife had an iPad mini that she never used which means it recently got acquired for truck duty. I am going to use it for monitoring some engine parameters and using it for offroad GPS. I used a Panavise dash mount for the Tacoma, with two RAM 1" ball 2.5" bases and a short arm. Then there is a RAM roto mount and RAM iPad mini holder. It's a WiFi only iPad mini, so I have the Bad Elf lightning connector for GPS signal. I'm typically seeing less than 12ft for accuracy. I'm using Gaia and MotionX for offroad mapping, and OBD Fusion for engine monitoring with an ELM327 adapter plugged into the OBD2 port. I still need to hardwire a charge cable for it, but this should do for now. I'm heading out this weekend to give it a good test.

 

That's a cool setup. I had a Hover Bar that I won at some raffle years ago sitting around collecting dust, so I figured i'll make use of it with my A&T iPad mini 2, which also fell onto my lap for free a few months back. I never use it, but we are going on a road trip, so I figured I could run maps on it or something. Running OBD stuff crossed my mind, but I already have ScanGauge, which works instantly vs. bluetooth module taking some time to boot up, connect to iPad etc...

Sorry for the shitty shots. Will take some better shots later

 

Interesting actual MPG data here from about 20 TRD Pro drivers:

"Based on data from 20 vehicles, 972 fuel-ups and 254,392 miles of driving, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.89 with a 0.14 MPG margin of error."

http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/tacoma/2015?engineconfig_id=&bodytype_id=&submodel_id=73686

 

That's about average for me with all my armor, winch, bed rack, 33s, snorkel, etc. If I baby out on the highway I can get a little better than 18 out of it.

 

The avg for my trd pro is at 17.6 with highway and city combined. Still all stock. Manual 6sp transmission.

 

Looking to replace my factory brakes for state inspection. I was looking at factory o.e.m. rotors and pads or these Brembo rotors and pads... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-2-Fr...ash=item235d9979b2:g:GQgAAOSwp5JWVF2e&vxp=mtr

What is everyone else using on their BAJA's. Looking up parts only shows base crew cab 4 door pick-up, are the parts I linked the correct parts to order for my 2013 BAJA ?

 

Sounds a big cheap to be made by Brembo....

And whats wrong with the OEM brakes?

 

Price ranges from o.e.m. and brembos I've found online vary from as cheap as this listing to $158 for the same kit for brembo's. Found o.e.m. brakes online but they're a bit more expensive. I was just curious what ya'll are using for brakes and if the parts I linked are the correct ones before I order them.

 

getting closer t0 19-21 mpg with my pro.. if i baby it 20-21 if i get on it or drive highway above 70 mph 18-19,,, but i drive local roads mostly so i get closer to 20 mpg on average.....

 

Do you guys coast down the hill mostly, or what? lol. I average around 14.
