What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

As I was driving to work yesterday I passed by a GMC dealership and saw this used Tacoma for sale. What in the f.... did the previous owner do to this truck? I would report this as a Taco abuse case if you ask me. Here is a link to the dealership selling the Taco in case anyone is interested in buying it, LOL.

Is it a TRD Off Road or a TRD Sport or....

 

It's hideous.

 

@oostroma Not sure but from the grille it looks like it's an SR5

@BigJanko completely agree. Can't believe anyone would spend money for that!

 

SR5. I'd say with an expensive paint job but idk if a wrap can replicate the "chameleon" paint

 

Looks like he did something like this, a metalic clear coat.

It's just an SR5 with either a paint job or a wrap. The paint ain't my cup of tea but it's not as bad as some of the monstrosities I've seen out there.

 

I kinda dig it. I wouldn’t do it to mine but...

 

Mine is going in next Thursday for the fuel pump recall...did you mention anything specific for them to perform the tranny shifting TSB? I did tell them I've been experiencing erratic shifting lately.

 

I think its the silver I don't like about it. My Inferno does that, but not with all those different colors.

 

If we were going manufacturer country specific I'd have to get a Mitsubishi Zero wrap for the taco and an ME109 or FW190 for the BMW M3...... Not putting either of those on even though they were incredibly impressive aircraft....

 

Boo. I've seen iridescent paint jobs and vinyl wraps. I hope it's a wrap. At least a wrap can be removed. Probably have a difficult time selling it.

 

not really, there's an ass for every seat

 

Thx!

 

I don't hate it, and my wife would absolutely LOVE it. Maybe if she gets a 4runner.

 

A wrap can easily emulate that

 

I'm sure you're right. Just not my deal.

 

Thanks! It’s the black kit. I’ve done the vent rings, climate controls, push to start and 4x4 trim. The black just gives it a clean look to me.

 

Mine died at 18k miles nearly 3 years ago. Did not want a cheap Toyota replacement warranty battery. Did the 27F and larger 27F tray upgrade on mine and still was under $160 with a DEKA ULTIMATE 1030 ca 840 cca battery from Pasco's battery warehouse. Much better value than anything at the big box auto part, Walmart or SAM's Club stores.

 

I don’t recall rainbow pearl gray metallic as a color option for 2017 but hey. I will say the color has a certain femininity to it. Someone will buy it and love it I’m sure.
