    Just put on these decals. Not really one for aftermarket badging, but these seemed pretty alright! Anyone else have custom TRD badging?

    No TRD looks better. I just think the whole TRD branding(decals, front grille, badges) is just played out. Less is more in my opinion. But it’s your truck do what you like.

    No caps for me. Looks better without in my opinion. I did mask off and spray the face of the drum brake with high temp black paint.
