    I have a good friend who is restoring several landcruisers, and while visiting his "boneyard" of vehicles it occurred to me that perhaps a vintage Toyota 4WD emblem might look pretty good on a modern Tacoma.

    I'm wondering if anyone here has ever done that, or seen that done on a newer Tacoma?

    I'm thinking specifically of this emblem:

    I'd keep them safe for display/collection, but maybe that's the hoarder in me.

    Other than that, I'm sure it would look cool and unique on your truck!

    I think that'd look sooo good on a Lunar Rock colored Taco, on the tailgate!
