6. Stock TRD Off Road wheels - These are quite possibly the ugliest wheels ever made in the history of the world. I firmly believe that if the caveman who invented the wheel could have seen these, he would have destroyed his creation in order to protect humanity. He was a good guy and he cared about people.

Hey, I like my stock TRDOR wheels. Guess that means I loose my Bro card...

Seriously though. You’re right on everything but the wheels. Just sayin

I've had a rough couple of weeks and everything is pissing me off. As long as I'm here, I'll share the things that are irritating me about Tacomas, the fads that they inspire and the products available for them as I prepare to build mine. First and foremost, I'm not talking shit about anyone in particular, anyone's truck in particular or anyone's products in particular. This is just generalized complaining and is most likely not worth your time.

1. Aftermarket winch bumpers - Why do almost all of them dip down around the grill in the middle? It looks stupid and must cost more to make than just going straight across. Many of these bumpers would look great if they didn't have the dip. Also, why do so many of them mount the winch at a downward angle? Ugh.

2. Fake beadlocks. WHY???? Oh dear God, Make it stop.

3. LEDs. They are great technology and are leaps and bounds above the halogens that we used to run but HOW MUCH LIGHT DO YOU REALLY NEED???? I see trucks running around with 174,000,000,000 Gigawatts of lighting power. Lightbar on top of the cab, light bar on or in the bumper, lights in the bumper ends, ditch lights on the hood, LED headlights...Stop it. Aircraft don't have that much light to land with. Baseball stadiums have night games with less light. Enough. And super bright LEDs inside your truck? Are you doing surgery in there? WTF? AAAAAGHHH!!!! Why do otherwise reasonable people suddenly transform into Clark Griswold from Christmas Vacation where these LEDs are concerned?

4. Bed Racks - I don't hate these, I just hate that they're almost a required part of every Tacoma at this point. They're great for those that actually use them, stupid if theyre just for decoration.

5. "Which 35 inch tires will fit without rubbing with no lift and no trimming?" None of them. Stop it.

6. Stock TRD Off Road wheels - These are quite possibly the ugliest wheels ever made in the history of the world. I firmly believe that if the caveman who invented the wheel could have seen these, he would have destroyed his creation in order to protect humanity. He was a good guy and he cared about people.

7. "Tactical" stuff. Stop it. Unless you use your truck for military or law enforcement work, just stop it.

8. All kinds of shit mounted to the dash. You've got two tablets, three cell phones, two GPS units, a weather radio and a satellite uplink to the international space station hanging off your dash. All of this shit and you're just going to the mall because cinnamon rolls arer half price today. Get a map.

9. The "Bro" thing. Enough said.

10. Aftermarket exhausts - They all sound like shit. On raspy 4 cylinders or nice V8's, they can be like music. V6's (all of them) sound like shit with loud exhausts. Stop it.

That's all for now. This is meant to be tongue in cheek, so try not to get your tactical panties in a bunch. Just venting. Besides, I said right up front that it wasn't worth your time.

You obviously don't realize how painful it is to have undies with molle loops and accessory pouches, let alone twisted ones.
Makes me clutch at my affliction shirt just thinking about it...

I support this rant except for #6. I like my stock OR wheels.

Itchyfeet · Apr 24, 2019

I never understood the whole everything needs LEDs craze either. They don't defuse light properly and you end up with hot spots. It's generally looks like trash.

I like the OR wheel, I think the Sport wheel is just nasty looking. It looks like a flower.

I really don't understand the whole tactical thing either. I don't need the inside of my truck looking like a military vehicle. I'm sure it makes for handy shopping when the meth heads break in.

This is so true. The tiny 1.4 turbo four in my Abarth Spider could give the V6 in my Tacoma some singing lessons.

I can only think of three V6 engines that sounded great: the 3.9 in the 1991-96 Dodge Dakotas, the 3.8 in the 2005-11 Mitsubishi Eclipses, and the 3.5 in the original Infiniti G35/FX35/Nissan 350Z. That’s it. The rest of the lot sound like sh*t.

raskal311 · Apr 25, 2019

Why fake bead lock? Well why after market wheels at all that does not function any better then stock? Why bigger tired than practical? Same thing... why $300-600 grill that adds no functionality? people want to look pretty so what ever makes them happy.

MannyS · Apr 25, 2019

#8. I could use a good cinnamon roll for breakfast today and placing it on the dash would be fine. The dripping icing is similar to spreading 303 on your dash.

Haha I actually kind of agree with everything. With the exception of the winch bumpers. They have to be angled in order to maximize your approach
