Thoughts on raptor lights on the Grill. Should I be ashamed to have them or not?

Your truck, your choice!

 

Yes

 

You wish you had a Hemi TRX.

 

Somebody should make that for the 4G grill along with the newer style emblem. I'm not a copy write lawyer, do so at your own risk.

 

Every time I take mine out for a drive, there’s probably a lot of Taco people laughing or in distress at something about my truck. But I love it and that’s all that matters. https://www.read.gov/aesop/136.html

 

I threw up in my mouth reading that

 

Number of reasons. Wife at the time didn't like that I had bought the Raptor in addition to buying another expensive car months later. I found aspects of the drivetrain unsatisfactory and was disappointed by the trucks performance offroad. I sold a fully built prerunner for the Raptor.

If I kept it I was going to spend another unimaginable sum on suspension. So I sold it. Bought the Tacoma as a daily pickup, and still intend to buy another truck to build another long travel project truck from the ground up.

Funny thing is I don't like the 3.5TT V6 drivetrain in the Raptor, but I have Ford Transit van with the same basic powertrain and it seems fine in there.

Cars come and go. And apparently so do *some* wives.

The fable is on point. He who chases two rabbits catches none!!

 

You should enjoy your truck however you like and not worry about the opinions of others.

 

Your ride….your choice!

 

We’re like mean girls, we’ll talk disparagingly behind your back.

 

I think they look cool, but I understand the resentment. I’ve driven cool cars and it’s nice when people look and compliment you, but at the end of the day it’s your truck and there’s no need to win over the crowd. You make the payments, you put the gas in it, you pay the insurance. If raptor lights make you feel all tingly, go for it my dude.

 

I seen them on a rav4 today, there’s no rules brother

 

I feel like raptor lights are to Tacomas what rubber ducks are to Jeeps.

The second I see either, I’m no longer interested and need zero convincing that the owner is a certifiable goof ball
