    Oh, gotcha. I thought you meant he added spacers to get the PRO stance. :oops:

    That's actually a decent setup. Some of the King guys pick on Fox a bit, but I never hear anything bad from the guys who run Fox. I'm on Billies but considering an upgrade. Fox, King, Radflo all look good to me.

    That was hilarious! :rofl:

    I'd be tempted to get one of those just to mess with my buddies, but it didn't seem to work very well.

    This reminds me of my first car. A 1985 iroc camero . I realized basic cameros would add the iroc sticker to look cool or for upsell reasons. Like life you have to do research before buying.

    It would bother me on my own truck. I bought an off-road, I made that decision, and I stand by it, not gonna pretend I have something I don't.

    You can take the Pro grille out of the Pro, but you can't take the Pro out of the Pro grille.

    Title is misleading. Unbadging doesn’t bother me. But why the hell would you put other things on if you want an unbadged look?

    Title says "upbadging" not "unbadging."

    On that note, I think removing the badges is cheesy, too. It's a Tacoma, not a show car. But, as with the other things, it's not my truck so I don't care.

    How do early 3rd gens feel about adding the new side mirror badge that you see on the 2020's and 21's?

    Honestly, at quick glance its hard to tell a 2016 and 2020 apart other than squinting at the new headlights.

    That would be hilarious along with the horn to go “Hey, Listen!”
