Upbadging your Tacoma

Maybe that's an indication the stock grills the first few years looked like shit.

I swapped my cheese grater grill back in Dec 2016 when the grills first became available, long before you saw many PRO Tacomas in the wild.

Is iit upbadging if you choose better looking badges?

 

It is simply an indicator of a poser or a wanna be.

My Dad had a phrase. "You can dress a pig in a tuxedo, but its still a pig."

 

Saw a C300 with amg badges the other day. It makes me laugh especially when its straight piped and the guy is driving like a moron.

 

Says the guy who got ripped last week for being a hypocrite of useless mods while sporting a pro grille. I see you revised your profile this week to hide that fact.

 

Haters gonna hate.

 

Where's your Raptor lights playa?

 

If you're gonna do something wrong, do it right

 

They are retractable. The technology hush-hush right now, while we decide the optimum number for the kit. Stay tuned.

 

So it's an invisible mod for looks.

You'll make millions.....

 

The idea is you pull up to a bunch of bros.....and they start hating on your truck and stuff........then BAM!!!.......6 green raptor lights deploy and suddenly you’re all friends and hit the trials and exchange phone numbers, IG handles, and skottle recipes and stuff.

 

So, help me understand......

The "haters" are anyone that doesn't agree or has a different viewpoint.

Is this correct???

 

You're a visionary....

Maybe even add LEDs to light up the undercarriage too. Ditch lights on top of the fenders and hood are ridiculous, they need to be under the truck where the dirt and ditches are.

 

Yes. We live in the age of emotion now. All that matters is how you feel. Facts are yesterday’s news.

 

the descent into socially correct nonsense will destroy us all......................

 

I just want my truck to be Trail Rated, is that really too much to ask?

 

Guess that depends on the trail and who you ask.

Be sure to carefully select who you ask. Need to be sure they have the same view as you before asking.

 

The problem here its a Government Standard, but only Jeep is authorized to rate it. At least, that's how I read it.

Jeep gladiator copied the look of the 79 series double cab Land Cruiser. I guess if youre wanting a 79series Land Cruiser but can’t pay the $80+K for one, buy the gladiator and put on the land cruiser badging.

 

While I would never "upbadge" I sure as hell will add the features from higher trims to my cars.

When I used to do BMW e30s, we would buy base models because they were cheap and had the same engine, trans, and body as the higher end models (not m3). Then we would go to the junk yard and get the sport recaro seats, upgraded audio systems, better wheels, factory body kits.

 

Well, then I guess only Jeep owners will know.

Everyone else will be classified as "haters".
