    Was wondering how often others get compliments or pictures taken of there truck? Happens pretty often with me. Asked several times about my lift. My son and I were stopped at a light yesterday and asked why the guy next to us was taking a picture? I told him either I cut him off or he liked the truck, haha.

    I took mine to the dealer to have some headlights installed. (Was short on time and didn't want to mess with it.)
    Got quite a few thumbs up when they pulled it in....but nobody wanted to take a picture of it.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Even with being pretty much stock, my truck gets a little bit of attention. People just seem to love Tacomas.

    At least once a week, someone approaches me and compliments the truck. I always notice people looking at it though.

    nothing cool
    Had a guy and girl in a newer 12-14 black tacoma follow me into QuickTrip yesterday. Kinda gave each other the " we have similar trucks" look. Ya know. But then i saw him and his girl kinda talking and looking at me. After a few more minutes the guy finally came over and asked me where i got my wheels.

    Not really a picture or compliment. But thought it was kinda cool.

    for me, its usuallly the color that gets compliments. nobody is familiar with the spruce mica. lots of compliments. a valet at a 5 star resort in san diego said it was the nicest truck they ever had there. i was surprised, but cool.

    Wow, here in NH you can't drive more than 5 miles without seeing at least 2 or 3 Tacomas. When I first got mine I drove to a town 10 miles away and counted 8 Tacomas that I saw. If mine was all modded up I suppose it would probably get looks, but no, I get basically zero looks. I do get the occasional guy in the parking lot say, "nice truck" and then see he gets in one himself.

    A few nods and remarks here and there. I once was asked what year Tundra I had and if I had the V8. I guess in that guy's defense his early model Tundra was about the size of my Tacoma.

    Not worth mentioning at least I don't notice it I bought my truck because it doesn't stick out much, I had that before with some cars and didn't like it (egged, scratched, condoms...all the good stuff)

    It's parked at the airport 5 days a week so I like to keep a low profile :)

    I have about the same amount. A little more if I actually wash it. Even though all the mods I have done serve a purpose, they make the truck look bad ass.

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    Doesn't happen here in Key West so much, but when I was stationed in Northern California I had people coming up to me at gas stations complementing the truck and asking questions. Even had one guy ask me to roll my window down to talk about the truck at a red light.

    Most of mine are in the range of "I really like your set up you've got there" and "Where did you get (insert whatever item here)?"

    That and "how much fucking light does that light bar put out????" :)
