    TRD: toyota racing development?

    How does putting a locker in a 4wd truck make it "racing"

    In all seriousness TORD: toyota offroad development

    Would be more fitting -.-

    That said, putting trd on your truck shouldnt mean anything?

    TRD pertains to all toyotas not just tacomas

    And you are right, it shouldnt really "mean" anything. I just think it looks cool plus you are reping toyota :D

    Lol well its just that putting the TRD on your truck without the Elocker is well..silly and funny in a way..Cause any one that knows anything about tacomas knows that in 1st gens that means they have rear locker. Even prerunners.

    None of us do..

    i did something different(old body, new ones coming)

    OMG, so i put my 2nd gen badges on a couple nights ago and i found a 4runner "limited" badge at the junkyard so i put it under the badge on my tailgate as a joke since its all beat up.

    A guy in some shitty ass lifted 1st gen asked me why mine came with the new badges and what the limited meant, i kinda just gave him a stupid look and said "Well toyota used the badges they were planning on putting on the 2nd gens and gave it a stock long travel suspension and a supercharger" He was in awe and said he was going to go look for and buy a 96 "limited" edition tacoma

    :annoyed:

    Correct..well..sorta..

    half way through around 97 some came with lockers. Even a few rare 96s.

    Friend of mine had one with a factory locker..not swapped.

    :laughing:

    Thats understandable. My class isn't liked by most because kids get bored and do stupid things... but some teachers like us and let us fix their cars, mostly stupid stuff.
