    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    wheather it be a severe thunderstorm, a blizzard, hurricane, sudden downpour, dust storm, etc post a pic of your truck enduring the elements. I would post a pic but have not seen anything too dramatic yet, wait until winter comes along.

    The only flawed part of this idea is...How would people take pictures of their trucks in hurricanes or blizzards?
    But subbed for possibilities :D

    I think pics of the owners running out there and enduring the hits in a huge hailstorm to take pics of the Tacoma would be better, dontcha think? :D

    I wish I had taken some during the worse part of the NE blizzard.

    Currently I only have the beginning in my sig pic below, we decided to hit wharton state forest just as the storm was starting to approach.

    Lol for a snowboarder/skiier that's not severe at all. I've come out to the car at the end of the day to find 8-12" on top of it and around it. Honestly when its that bad I don't even think to take pics....I get my friends to help clear off the roof/windshield/remove some snow infront or behind it, and think how wonderful of a drive it is going to be all the way down

    Damn... wish I had one from last winter. The Tacoma is a tank in the snow (with aftermarket tires). I'm sure I'll get some pics this winter.

    i dont have a pic, but the day i got my truck i was driving to colorado from new mexico and hit a snow storm in fairplay,CO. i was in my brand new truck, leading a line of cars a mile long across the highway and the snow was blowing across the road so bad i couldn't see anything. just white. the winds were at a steady 40mph with 60-80 mph gusts. everyone behind me had tail lights to follow. we got further down the road and the cops were making everyone turn around because the storm was so bad, and they wouldn't let me go further no matter how much i argued... ended up going the long way home over the pass into breckenridge which was just as bad. 6 inches of snow on the pass with ice below. so i had to drive down the switchbacks at 5 mph sliding around every corner with the bald ass tires i had. but i didn't have a camera so no pictures. and to make the situation worse, i had no license plates or registration.
