    To each its own. If you wake up and look at your truck with a smile. Thats what counts. I wake up and each time I look at my truck. I knew its what I wanted it. So I don't care what others think as I'm sure many wouldn't build their truck up like mine.

    BTW- I'm going to steal something you did and do it to my truck. I had wondered what I could do to fix something that bugged me.

    Thanks! :D

    Wow. Workman thinks Toyota should pay you to drive this around. But since you already paid for it and did it, its a win win for Toyota! The huge TRD decal is a little much for Workman, but Workman could seriously care less what others do to their property.

    Hope you enjoy it!

    ...too much shit to list.
    I agree with most everyone, I would ditch the TRD logos. Way too outlandish for me.
    Ditch the bull bar. Ugly and kills approach angle. If you're just looking to mount lights use the bumper or BAMF behind the grill mount.
    Get an alignment. Looks like you've got some pretty wicked positive camber going on.

    Since you have no need for a full on bumper you could get an avid lightbar. They are heavier duty than a regular run of the mill bull bar but also cost a bit more.

    That's just what I see people run on here when they don't want/need a full on 600+ plate bumper.

    I also will throw in my 2cents on not particularly liking the huge red TRD decal. Everything else though looks damn good. I'm not a bushwacker fan but that's just me. I don't like bushwackers on any vehicle lol.

    i like it, except the big TRD sticker, and replace that bull bar with a good, aggressive off road bumper (if you have the money).

    The truck looks good and professionally designed, but I would expect a Toyota employee to be driving it for events or as a shuttle if I saw it. There's no way I would have it as my personal ride unless I won it. Lose the TRD sticker and it'll look better.

    you are kind of a douche...

    ftfy



    OP, I think the truck looks sick. Very unique looking. Good job on it!
    As previously said, some meatier tires and a plate bumper will make it look even more aggressive.

    x2, kinda why I like it.
