    official end of the work week here. We'll see how that actually works out.

    @king.cong.1119 this is my personal preference as well. I've completely debagded two Tacomas now. Bedside decals, tailgate and door emblems. gone. But if you like the decal, i do agree with @50Buck, stay true to the truck model. Their are custom decal guys on Etsy, etc, that could probably make you a sweet decal with a cleaner font, or something completely custom.

    I almost didn't go with a heritage grill on my 2.5 gen because on that model, it was a Pro only option. I was swayed by the fact that it's appeard on a variety of models for over 50 years.

    fully debadged. the tailgate in particular pops, IMHO. They really made a huge departure with the embossed tailgate on the 3rd Gen.

    Seems a bit harsh, particularly considering your vintage.

    I've thought about using this guy's vintage decals to make mine be an updated version of my '85.

    Funny thing from work yesterday. Walking through the shop in the middle of gettin something and I hear my boss off to the side talking to somebody: "there he is, better not ask him just yet, he has his work face on."

    According to him and a few others I have a really "intense" look on my face when I'm focused and walking with a purpose. :bananadead:

    Headed to a grooming and nail appointment, this six month old pays better attention to the road than most adult humans.

    You don't have to guess if this dog gets gas... it's quite apparent from multiple sensory alarms. First you hear it, then... you know the rest.

    Our dog used to SBD us. You’d know it was about to hit because it was so bad that HE would leave the room with a sense of purpose. :rofl:

    I blame you for giving her this idea. She got me last night. I woke up at around 1 am to a particular odor, just in time to watch her sniff once or twice then jump off the bed. Been working on potty training her so I jumped up and checked the bed and floors, but nope. She just let one rip so bad she didn't want to be around it.
