    The salesman who sold me the truck is a veteran and told me he purchased the black Tacoma tailgate inlay from a small business that is veteran owned and operated. However, he couldn't remember the name. Does anyone know of one? Or at least one that is a US-based small business? I prefer to buy from small businesses if possible.

    Thanks for any suggestions. Google is not turning up anything.

    Are you familiar with reading? I specifically said I looked on Google but didn't find anything. Glad I joined such a helpful community.

    Oh My!

    Such a helpful thread.

    I'm a veteran that works in Surgical Materials/Supply Chain Operations and appreciate the info.

    I'm thinking about changing my Red inserts to match the lettering on my heritage grill. Watch out for my hitch! LOL

    I said inlay emblem, not a vinyl decal. Texas Decal King is the first search result, not what I was talking about.
    But at least you got to make a post about how you can't google better. Thanks!

    "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

    These guys/gals aren't as bad as they are portrayed. A little sarcastic, yes but harmless (for the most part).

    I say "for the most part" because it depends on how you react to responders that determines the whole dynamics of this place and forums in general.

    Check build thread!
    Also depends if you yank your front driveshaft and try and drift, nearly eating a light pole.

    Personally I avoid most veteran owned businesses. Need I remind anyone of Cornfed?
