    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    A dozen of us WI folk went out and exercised our trucks yesterday. The place has an interesting background. It was once a compound occupied by sovereign citizens. They refused to pay taxes, fought the IRS for years claiming to be a church. They had live-fire tactical training events on the grounds, built shelters loaded with ammo into some of the hillsides. They threatened many of the locals and anyone that got too close to the property. Eventually they were taken down by the Dept of Natural Resources because they had moved several mobile homes onto the land and installed septic systems without a permit. When all was said and done, the land was given to the county, which didn't know what to do with it for years. Eventually, someone thought the land would be a great place for offroad trails and the county developed it into an offroad park/campground. Some of the trails are quite challenging.

    The other day I test fit my heavy metal offroad bed bars with my softopper. These are the ones that are meant to fit over the softopper. I got the softopper and bars used on marketplace for 750 all in, which was a steal. Came with an extra set of softopper rails too. I test fit it with a kayak and its gonna work well!

    I recommend not waiting too long. The windshield is a structural part of the vehicle and now this is a week spot. Your insurance should cover replacement anywhere in NA.

    last (very simple) modification before we leave for the wedding next Monday and 10,000+ km road trip/honeymoon afterwards. I know most guys rock the Toyota “red orange yellow” emblems but it only works if you have a neutral colour truck (black grey white) so I opted for tri-colour blue mountains to match my blue crush taco. Really makes the grill pop, I love it

    They don’t look good on a Raptor so what makes you think they would look good on a Tacoma?

    I ordered the GT and it'll be coming by the end of the month. Went with that over the SE so I could have piece of mind throwing a quad on top of it, and I eventually plan on a rack + rooftop tent setup on it

    Our trucks are as individual as we are, we make them that way. As individuals we all have opinions and opinions are reflective of the individual, that’s my opinion.

    Why do you call them Raptor lights? DOT calls them Marker Lights?

    It's been that way since I joined in Sept 2021...the discourse/discussion/dialogue over people's decisions with their trucks.

    But don't despair, there are people who like "Raptor Lights", or as we can also call them, "Grill Lights" on their Tacoma.

    I've had a couple of compliment replies on my set up because they are somewhat subtle/subdued in "Smoked Amber" disguise!

    I've had them on for a while now...case in point, how different my truck looks in the first pic compared to the one parked next to vintage Tacoma.

    I really don’t get the criticism about people’s trucks. People are proud of their trucks and the work that they do on them. They come here to show that off. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!

    Raptor Lights are one of the most polarizing discussions on the forum so it seems. Some folks like to bash them, some like to ask you why you put Ford stuff on your Toyota. For me, I don't really care. I have stuff on my truck that people don't like and vice versa. Ignore the haters as they will just find something else to hate if you remove the Raptor Lights. You do you and be happy with that! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    yeah, I see some “ugly” trucks on here with people doing things I don’t think anyone would do. I don’t say anything though. You want hot pink wheels with a Pokémon paint job and you do it all yourself, then good for you buddy lol I just think it’s cool, so many things I’ve thought of doing have already been done and the trucks are so unique. Certain mods everyone does, other ones are more rare, some are outright completely custom. It’s awesome

    Had my MGM suspension upgraded over the weekend. Drove across the state back home, was smilin the whole way because how much better it felt than the stock suspension. Well worth the investment.
