This is why you use the shoe lace method. Tied to your trigger guard and to your belt loop. Kyle Lamb pioneered this. Upon vehicle egress the weapon comes with you.

I'd probably be wandering around Walmart with it still dangling is my luck.

Wait, which 35's will fit? Asking for a friend...

Excessive use of LED bars transcends Tacomaworld.

Too much tacticool stuff on the dash ?

Hard to say. Looks like the bling is under the fenders and not on display. Would still paint that hardware black...

If we're all venting, I don't really care for the whole Buckle Jeans/Affliction shirts style. But who am I to judge? I wear fishing shirts and khakis to work every day...

You can add ripped jeans... unless she looks good in them. If you got on ripped up clothing simply because it got ripped while wearing that's one thing but buying intentionally ripped jeans. No, again, unless she looks good in them.

Oh wow I actually love the stock TRD OR wheels, and 16" is the perfect size. In fact I like them more than the TRD Pro wheels. Happy that I won't be tempted to spend money on new wheels when I get my first set of new tires.

6. Stock TRD Off Road wheels - These are quite possibly the ugliest wheels ever made in the history of the world. I firmly believe that if the caveman who invented the wheel could have seen these, he would have destroyed his creation in order to protect humanity. He was a good guy and he cared about people.

Blasphemy! I'm keeping mine...

I agree with the rest.

If you have to unass the vehicle quick it may be embarrassing to leave the pew-pew in the truck.

I also don't like the thought of my gun being juicy loot for a smash and grab.

I've had a rough couple of weeks and everything is pissing me off. As long as I'm here, I'll share the things that are irritating me about Tacomas, the fads that they inspire and the products available for them as I prepare to build mine. First and foremost, I'm not talking shit about anyone in particular, anyone's truck in particular or anyone's products in particular. This is just generalized complaining and is most likely not worth your time.

1. Aftermarket winch bumpers - Why do almost all of them dip down around the grill in the middle? It looks stupid and must cost more to make than just going straight across. Many of these bumpers would look great if they didn't have the dip. Also, why do so many of them mount the winch at a downward angle? Ugh.

2. Fake beadlocks. WHY???? Oh dear God, Make it stop.

3. LEDs. They are great technology and are leaps and bounds above the halogens that we used to run but HOW MUCH LIGHT DO YOU REALLY NEED???? I see trucks running around with 174,000,000,000 Gigawatts of lighting power. Lightbar on top of the cab, light bar on or in the bumper, lights in the bumper ends, ditch lights on the hood, LED headlights...Stop it. Aircraft don't have that much light to land with. Baseball stadiums have night games with less light. Enough. And super bright LEDs inside your truck? Are you doing surgery in there? WTF? AAAAAGHHH!!!! Why do otherwise reasonable people suddenly transform into Clark Griswold from Christmas Vacation where these LEDs are concerned?

4. Bed Racks - I don't hate these, I just hate that they're almost a required part of every Tacoma at this point. They're great for those that actually use them, stupid if theyre just for decoration.

5. "Which 35 inch tires will fit without rubbing with no lift and no trimming?" None of them. Stop it.

6. Stock TRD Off Road wheels - These are quite possibly the ugliest wheels ever made in the history of the world. I firmly believe that if the caveman who invented the wheel could have seen these, he would have destroyed his creation in order to protect humanity. He was a good guy and he cared about people.

7. "Tactical" stuff. Stop it. Unless you use your truck for military or law enforcement work, just stop it.

8. All kinds of shit mounted to the dash. You've got two tablets, three cell phones, two GPS units, a weather radio and a satellite uplink to the international space station hanging off your dash. All of this shit and you're just going to the mall because cinnamon rolls arer half price today. Get a map.

9. The "Bro" thing. Enough said.

10. Aftermarket exhausts - They all sound like shit. On raspy 4 cylinders or nice V8's, they can be like music. V6's (all of them) sound like shit with loud exhausts. Stop it.

That's all for now. This is meant to be tongue in cheek, so try not to get your tactical panties in a bunch. Just venting. Besides, I said right up front that it wasn't worth your time.

11. Adding photos of your truck just to agree with discussion/and or try to make your truck revenant to discussion.

Figured you were just a lurker. You have been a member for a few years. Do you know what Molle is? like cops and members of the military wear to attach tools, bags, pouches? Picture that... EVERYWHERE. That is one example.

Why is molle bad? Sure it's used by the military and LEO, but guess what, a lot of technology we use day to day came from the military. If it has good practical applications, what's the rub.
