Quick questions involving a cheapskate making his truck cooler....

1. Where can I get some OEM TRD Off-Road stickers to slap on the side of a base Prerunner online? Can't find them on TRD.com or Toyota's website....trying to avoid dumb looks from doing this at a dealer

2. How much power and torque does the TRD supercharger on the 2.7 generate? I might do this if I get bored of the power provided by the stock motor. Really nervous about superchargers though, especially being unfamiliar with the supercharge-ability of the 2.7. Any comments welcome....

 

Why would you want to represent your truck as something its not?
I suppose you can order from some of the graphics guys here.
If I'm not mistaken, the sc adds about 30% hp.

 

Cooler still to come up with your own.

 

You say you're a cheapskate, but will drop $4k on an sc? I don't get it.

 

User on here, Sockmonkey, makes custom decals.

If you have a few minutes and 5 grand burning a hole in your pocket, read this. Or just buy a V6.

He quit doing that a couple of years ago. There is another member that does it now.... I can't remember who it is.

 

Poser? Not something one should aspire

 

Put the stickers, the average person has no clue anyways.

But a supercharger, on a 4 cyclinder.....pass!

 

There's Cboy808 that I have used in the past. No complaints, awesome customer service.

 

Might as well grab a set of Z71 decals and pop them on there. Be unique!

 

No one will know the difference.

 

That's the guy. I've heard he has quality decals too.

 

Huh. One of the first things I did to my TRD OR was to peel the stickers off. Unfortunately they don't come off in one piece so I threw them away. Looks like Burghlar has got you a pointer to the OEM stickers though.

I do, however, have the raised letter "V6" badge completely undamaged sitting on the desk right behind me. You could stick that on (goes on the tailgate on the lower right) and pretend to have a bigger engine too.

 

I'm debating peeling the stickers off mine.

I typically debadge everything I own..

 

Try ebay for the bedside decals. You can Find TRD Sport, Off Road, and All Terrain. I had a TRD Sport and purchased a TRD All Terrain to replace it. You can get them in just about any color you want. I chose Matte Black. Sets are between $10-$15 with free shipping.

 

Yep. That's where I got my OEM replacement decals in black. Very good quality for an inexpensive price.

 

Really appreciate all the replies.....personally, I really like the TRD badges and because the base prerunners I'm looking at are different from the actual TRD prerunners only on trim things like rims and hood scoops (I know they also have a locking differential, but I'm not trying to sell the truck to anybody for 10k more claiming its an actual TRD, I'd take the stickers off before I'd sell it so a dealer wouldn't try to pull that). I'm just trying to emphasize the off-roadiness of a Tacoma and I think the stickers look cool. As for the S/C....I'm not too serious about that, just trying to see if it's a good investment down the road as opposed to buying a new vehicle.
