Fake TRD's

Luh-who-zuh-her!

 

I have trd suspension on my reg cab to help with the wieght of bumper and skid plates. It was $70 10k miles on em. I figure it will get me by until I can afford 4 link and lt. No badging appeared on my bed sides, but if it does I'll be sure to scrape it off while wheelinstomp on it shoot it burn it and bury it just to be safe!!

 

Funny, the first thing I did to my TRD OR was take the TRD sticker off.

 

Very. Its a jailable offense.

 

It's easy to check though either you can look underneath and do a package check, or TRDs are high performance which always means they are light weight which we all know only happens if you make it out of wood. We know wood floats and so does a duck, so if your truck weighs the same as a duck it must be a TRD!

 

that's why I made a Custom SR5 sticker, I like the look w/o posing.

 

Hehehe....

Ok, I got that out of my system.

 

Check out this sweeeet TRD PRO! $30.5K, such a deal!!!!

 

well, back in the day of the original 5.0 you would have similar horsepower so you are not "posing" in the extreme. What the 80's mustang GT's put out a whopping 284HP with the optional 5.ohhhh

 

Oh that's definitely a TRD PRO. It has all the key indicators...wheels, grille, stickers, etc...

 

That's fraud! Should get 1-5 years.

 

Hold up, this was posted to another thread a while back. The VIN says it's a TRD Pro:

Well, it's either the wrong picture or they must have stripped all the Pro parts off and replaced them with base parts.

 

Where can I get base parts? My stock stereo is fine with midrange and treble but seriously lacks that hard hitting boom.

 

The e code mid to late 80's 5.0's only produced 225 hp.

 

Not even close. The F150 Ford 5.0L (302 cci) was rated as:
1981-1984: 135HP / 243 ft.lb
1985-1993: 185HP / 270 ft.lb

135HP may have been decent back in the 80s and I'm sure the "5.0" sticker impressed high school kids. But it's kind of a joke compared to the 2nd gen 1GR-FE's 236hp/260ft.lb.

 

The worst part about this is it's crooked

 

That's legit badging it stands for 50 ci

 

That's just your head.

 

Bingo.

What's next? Should I remove my front plate or not? Oh wait, that actually is a topic over there.
