(FEELER) What are the tackiest Tacoma mods in your opinion?

Debadging.

 

Yes I have but I don't put up pictures, flowers or things on the road side or "in memory of" on my truck.
Just don't get it.

 

Black wheels, played out!

 

Fair enough. I think for the vast majority, it gives them something to commemorate or hold on to. I tend to subscribe to the same school of thought as you, just thought I'd ask.

 

This got posted up in the FL thread

 

I always thought it was more of an attention getter than anything else. You didn't buy your ford taurus or honda odyssey, or build your truck 5 years before they died in their honor. It's just a "hey look at me, i know someone who died". Really want to do something in their honor donate money to a charity or volunteer. But I usually don't say anything because people are so emotional.

 

Just got into this thread....seems highly entertaining.

Probably already mentioned but I will fire it up again anyhow

-tinted tails, more so when its a piss poor job
- stickers all over and no sponsorship or affiliation
- those dam devil horn badges (sorry if ya gottem)
- dirty trucks ( not washed after wheeling )


Good enough for now

 

Nothing is worse then when someone turns a H2 Hummer into a car by adding 22's, with low profile tires that will crumble the minute they touch dirt.

I guess hanging ball sacks may be a little worse. I've been laughing at these jokers for the last 20+ years.

 

Go buy a cj8!!! Scrambler's are the shit! That pic just looks ridiculous.

 

Nope! Now avert your eyes to the sig....

26 MPG and counting. Problem?

Ouch! Just a piece of memory out of respect for a person they miss. We each handle death differently.
I find myself putting an accidental, unnecessary German twist on words occasionally since my full-German grandmother passed. I also try not to wipe my hands on my pants after food- she always asked me not to, and I didn't listen.

JeeComa!!

 

My definition of tacky/lame mods

chrome accessories in general
the small westin bull bars
any kind of large pictorial graphics
Any side steps/nerf bars Except OEM/NFAB/Smittybilt
LED/Altezza tail lights
LED light bars
LED under-tailgate light bars
any aftermarket/heavy duty/off road front/rear bumper except for ARB
any aftermarket wheels (especially KMC)
any lift over 3 inches
any tire over 265/75/R16 diameter (or any tire/wheel combination over an approximately 32 inch diameter/10.5 width)
any wheel larger than 18 inches
Too much Plasti-derping everywhere; plasti-derp where plasti-derp should never go..
HID lights
any "colored" lights/Halos
the lack of doors (rare but have seen it)
removal of all mud guards
too many added running lights
non OEM roof racks
giant shackles, especially on the tow hitch (worse than truck nuts IMO)
Dodge Cummins look-a-like Tow Mirrors
OEM Bug Guard
wheel spacers
body lifts
anything mossy oak/camo related

im knowingly picky lol, and admittedly my truck is nowhere near perfect, but no offense here, to each their own.

 

^^^^ This is very accurate, however; but I do see that you have window vents in your sig pic

 

oooooooohsnap:

 

Nothin wrong with wanting better mg's, Doge! If Toyota didn't kick their feet up, we would have it!

 

I don't think they will change it until sales drop... We held the top spot for 10 years. Now that DODGE is getting 28 EPA... I have high expectations for the Tacoma.

 

truthfully, Ive been a sucker for window vents my entire life lmao, i frankly find them to be useful

 

what dodge is getting that? a single cab V6 2wd? Toyota didn't change anything because they didn't have to. Toyota's stance was why spend money on R&D when they didn't have to. If they did, they would have already been ahead of the game. Our trucks could get 30 mpg regardless of 2wd or 4wd, with the proper technology and implementation...

 

Half the stuff you listed is very helpful....
