Oregon and Washington BS thread

Pre-Runners definitely do not belong in a NW forum thread. Go down to San Diego or any part of Arizona and it seems 90% of pre-runner tacos have been fitted with big ridiculous fiberglass pre runner fenders

 

on my way to work this morning a dcsb in silver went by me the guy look like he was runing a 6" lift and had some body armour. anyone around salem ever seen one like that before? he had a front bumper that look a lot like mikes.

 

My feeling is that PreRunners (the toyota package from the factory, not this thing) are fine for the guys with weekend projects, a business vehicle such as yardwork or handyman, or the average homeowner type. The vehicle is understandably not an offroad machine, but good for those who might want to get a load of wood, barkdust, etc., and deliver it in their backyard. 2WD is fine for them, and the locker gives the benefit of getting out of an occassional slippery situation.

I am more disgusted with those that demand a 4WD because of the winter storms or a small man/small peen/scared wife/macho/ignorant complex.

If things were my way,
-Dump the Sport. Make the hood an accessory.
-dump all trim packages that are below the PreRunner. make the PreRunner the base model
-Keep the OffRoad
-I don't care what happens to the XRunner, I guess it's fine

Remember, the offroad enthusiast isn't a typical consumer - and I wouldn't want it that way. My sister in law does not need sliders on her Camry.

 

I almost couldn't say it better myself. Although I disagree on the pre-runner being the base model. I would much rather have a fuel efficient little 2 door single cab 5 lug tacoma to drive around instead of a civic if I had to go to efficient vehicles. (not that it's the greatest, but it's better than a 6 lug prerunner)

 

Pardon ignorance, I need to amend my list. The PreRunner would be available as a 4cyl reg cab as well. I thought there was already that option. I'm just eliminating the base model and SR5 options and making it simpler, because it's kinda senseless to get it w/o the SR5 options. Also the base model seats need to be the same as you get on Sport/OR versions. Butts need lovin'.

 

Yes they do

 

Snowgod, bro on the other thread wants to beat our asses. Lol that kid is funny

Washed my truck today. Haven't hand washed her in god knows how long and all I got to say is HOLY HELL! Pin stripes everywhere! And rock chips on both sides. Gotta go to Toyota tomorrow and get a touch up paint for those chips.

I got to do mine as well. My passenger side is leaking

 

I washed my truck after we went to TSF last summer, havent washed it since lol. I got so much brush love that i rather not see all of it. HAHA

 

lol I already washed mine once it was driving me nuts.

 

Hey guys im new to the forum

 

welcome to the forum.

 

bleh!

 

Idk, im deleting the orange on mine. I guess will find out hehe

 

how hard was it to get the lights open with out screwing them up?

 

oh it was easy, the first one took me another heat cycle in the oven because i took my time taking it apart. When you do the second light you know the order to do things, i ended up taking the 2nd light apart in less then 1 minute. lol

 

225, I have a set of headlights from my 07. like new, no broken tabs. I am too stupid to try to open em!
