    I'll just take one of the 2020+ TRD (non-pro) grilles. I have yet to see another one (stock or aftermarket) that I like more than that.

    Maybe on a 2g RC but you would still need the 3g bedsides to try and balance it out, or a tray or flat bed.

    It's like a cross between the Shining's insanity stare and the 1977 obscure car movie that's inexplicably titled...The Car.

    If you see that truck in your rear view, you have no idea whether it's about to murder you in an orgasmic blood ritual, run off with your wife, or snatch your cheeseburger right out of your hand. But at a minimum one of those things is definitely about to happen.

    Not likely. One test I saw for the GM twins had the truck gain 1 MPG city and lose 1 MPG highway (or vise versa) without the air dam. Additionally, I routinely get in the low to mid 20's at 70 MPH during the summer and my truck did not come with an air dam.

    That masterpiece of a movie isn't an unknown to us Gen-Xers who were terrified of this on network tv. I can still hear those damn horns blasting. Great memory!

    It would if Johnny 5 got called into HR for the third time for inappropriately staring at sharon's chest. Yes, I see you way over there, hiding in the conference room threshold, John. Do we have to have the group training about leering again?

    If "would give a robot a boner" attire sits on the gray line of office policy...I kind of want to work in that office.
