I'd guess its most likely due to the fact Tacomas don't have holes in the hood from the factory. Most people don't like drilling holes in body work.

Hood would probably crumple, no joke. They are flimsy IMO

Also a good amount of glare would reflect back into the drivers eyes, even that jeep has black vinyl to combat that.
