Lock Off-Road Baja Series on TRD Pro Tacoma

Toyota surprised everyone by keeping a 6-speed manual transmission option on certain 4th Gen Tacomas (TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road). Who here actually went for it? I’ve been driving manuals for years, and it’s awesome to see Toyota keep it alive. The clutch feel is solid, maybe a little long though for it to grab, and the gearing feels pretty dialed for trail use. Only downside? You lose some features like Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select. Still — if you’re in it for the driving experience, it’s a blast. Anyone else daily-driving the manual or using it on the trails? Let’s show some love for the third pedal — and share tips for break-in and shifting sweet spots.

I test-fit Lock Off Roads Baja Series wheels onto my TRD Pro Tacoma the other day. The machine polish really does POP with the all black paint! Holy smokes! I didn't fully install them though because I had to order some hub adapters from Amazon to go from the hub bore that these wheels are (they are made for 3rd Gen Tacoma) to the new 95.1 hub bore of the 4th Gen. Also, when I fully install them, I am going to have to pop the axel dust cap off the front as well. Can't wait to show you all the finished product!
