Fish Taco

Let me know what you think. Happy to see other fish related tacoma images. My previous ride was a JK, which was rebadged "trout Wrangler". I call this one "Fish Taco" or "On the Fly".

I'm an avid fly fisher and run my own graphics / marketing company... That said, I hope my wife says yes to my new truck graphic proposal if anything, it's a great way to make sure she leaves it in the driveway and takes her own wheels.

Pretty pumped to get my truck - has been on order for a while now, and due in sometime in September. Already have a bunch of goodies stacking up in the garage (Wildpeaks, Eibach Stage 1 lift, Icon AAL, 1/2" spacer and ESG bushing). Next step is finalizing the vehicle graphics.

 

That's clearly outside the slot. You're gonna have to release it.

 

When I saw the title of your thread, I was expecting something like this.

"trout wrangler"

man... that's certainly a way to get the wrong type of attention from other dudes.

 

That's not the fish taco I was hoping to see.

 

Sorry dude - keeping it P.G. in here.

 

Kinda feels like your missing out on a ton of the colors from the fish with that layout. Driving by and taking quick glances, wouldn't even know what the graphics were supposed to be.
Why not something more colorful like a rainbow or brook?

 

@FishnTx @StayinStock

 

PG has nothing to do with it. Come to Texas, find Cabo Bob's, and have an outstanding fish taco. Just the right amount of sweet, spice, crunch, umami...

Crap. Now I'm hungry again.

 

I was going to make some smart-ass remark about driving a rolling fish, but then I saw you own the graphics company that would produce the wrap. Since you are promoting your business you get a complete pass on anything you want to put on it

 

Sorry @FL_TRD Sport. I wouldn't be producing the decal. I just do the art.

@Raijin822 - good call. I was going for subtle, but agree that it may be too subtle. When the dealer said the only color I could get before end of year would be silver, I immediately thought steelhead. I'll rework it to have more rainbow color and better scale definition... stay tuned.

Really appreciate the feedback guys!

Anyone else have fishing truck related graphics or accessories to share?

 

No worries. Still counts as it's your art

 

Look into a sea trout yellow mouth with fangs!

 

I love the concept but agree the colors are just a tad bit subtle. Go full rainbow or even better a brookie, but make it fucking pop brother!

BTW, a life long fly fisherman myself. My first fly rod back in the early 70's was a 9 foot Tru Temper glass rod that Dad got at a garage sale for a dollar. Fifty years later, I got more cane and graphite rods than I know what to do with!

 

A truck smeared wif slime n scales!

 

German Brown would look great with bronze wheels.

Plus they're the DCLB of the trout world.

 

Not my thing, but it is kinda cool. Love the layout with the eye/headlight, lip/bumper, gill/mudflap.

 

@CaptAmerica - that right there is solid advice! Love it.

 

These trucks are more of an Asian carp I think, but nice job!

 

Thanks @StayinStock - I plan on keeping all 4 tires on the ground tho. That said, the eye placement would really work wouldn't it.
