    It's when a Taco owner blacks out (replaces) the chrome on their white trucks.

    There's few trucks that look cooler IMO.

    Search it! Very cool.

    I vote you do what looks good to you from the ideas on the site. Nothing wrong with doing your own thing and who knows, everyone might be trying to copy you. With that said I agree with the people here. Less is more and the trooper builds are cool.

    Wheels are the easiest way to make a vehicle look really good, they can also turn it in to a fugly duckling. Choose wisely!

    I actually like the bull bar and also like the browning badge next the the TACOMA on the side. See, this is why you should do what you like and not give in to the peer pressure here. TW is a little like being in high school again.

    ^ Hahaha I like the diagram.

    What he said, color match the handles, mirrors, grille and rear bumper to super white, that was the first thing I did to mine. Bilstein 5100's all around, give you a little lift on there, maybe paint your rims black at home, debadge, paint the silver interior pieces to the color of your choice, the possibilities are endless!

    I think if you plastidip that bullbar it would look pretty nice. Or strip it and have it powdercoated for it to look way nicer.

    Or just swap it for a black one. I like the stormtrooper look. If I could trade my truck for any other kinda it would be a white doublecab shortbed

    I personally like the bull bar and I also like nerf bars, I think both add style to the truck.

    Course the most my truck will see off road is the occasional "stock friendly" trail and unimproved roads so I am well aware neither is going to add much "protection" from elements.

    But in all honesty, personally, as long as you put on functional parts (whether you use it or not, only you'd know) will look great. The more it looks like you can drive it through the middle east with 20ppl in the back with machine guns and take on Dakar at the same time, the more sharp it'll look. Functional mods and trucks are as sharp as you can get! lol
