    None that I know of.
    Maybe this is a silly question. Just looking for minimalist ideas to make the truck look aggressive. Me and my dad share the truck and he likes chrome, and I do not. At the moment I’m doing small interior and exterior upgrades, like all weather floor mats, interior LED swap, etc. For the front I would love to have a raptor style grill with ambers, but it be nice if I could get the outer ring in chrome. The TRD grill looks good just not quite what I’m looking for. I was watching a video on giving the Tacoma a inch or so lift with just adding bigger tires. The current wheels are 17 inches I really like the 16 inch second GEN Trd wheels in black. I’m also looking for a simple bar up front and then a chase rack on the back.

    show me your aggressive looking Tacoma pics with Minimal upgrades. I appreciate it!

    All the usual diesel truck mods- fuel system upgrade, programmer, CAI, intake manifold, 60MM stealth turbo
    If
    You haven’t done it yet by simply removing mud flaps makes a fair difference. Obviously your state laws may prohibit this.

    Welcome to TW. I think I spotted your issue. You have to have a theme in mind when changing the look of something, otherwise it's going to look like you threw the Pep Boys clearance rack at it. It's especially tough if you're sharing the truck. You need agreement on what the end result is going to be.

    The quickest way to change the look of a truck are new tires and wheels. But that's expensive. To go cheap, your main option is to get aquatinted with Plastidip.

    Toytec 1/2” spacers, keeps your drive angles in spec. Gets you 1” up front. And tires. Get gnarly tires. My tires have the word “carcass” on the side. There is nothing more aggressive or metal than that.

    A look where if you saw it coming towards you, you would cross the street to avoid it. It could take your money.

    if i cared about looks alone i would buy a used set of nasty 33" MT tires and be done with it.

    gawd I've spent 3 years building up this truck for the driving part and still haven't cared how it looks.

    Aggressive look? Ride around with a pit bull in the passenger seat and several more in the truck bed.

    Hell yeah! The Duel. I imagine there are a lot of truck drivers that fantasize about this movie in the same way a bar bouncer fantasizes about Roadhouse.
