    I say 7. Like the rest of the guys, not diggin the wheels and tires but thats just me. I like the off-road look on tacoma's. I would say a lift would be good but since your going with that street look, I would leave it stock height.;)

    Yeah...since they aren't chrome they will be easier to paint. I would try masking them off and spraying them indigo ink. Might dress it up a bit. I painted my chrome steps black and they look way better on the silver streak.

    I would give it a 9. I love your wheels and the chrome. You would get a 10 if it were Speedway Blue. :D You obviously love it and that is all that matters.

    All and all you are the one who has to like it (youre not spending my money on it). But since you ask, chrome 20s, street tires and pimp grill is does not exactly scream "off road truck", that's probably why you don't get that much love here (but respect). Now take that same set up and put it on a 2wd 4runner...you might have something going, you see what i'm saying?

    That being said...
    Wheels are a-ight, they're not that great but they're kinda cool.
    Bug deflector is a MASSIVE FAIL take that shit off! NOW!

    So I could be generous or not but I'd give you an 8 of 10.

    I give it a 10... for what it is. I agree with the others in not liking the 20"ers and the chrome steps and stuff on a Taco, BUT as far as styling choice and overall look it works well and looks sharp. I'd never do it to mine, but it looks good on yours.

    Its your truck and you did exactly what you wanted so I give a 9!

    Our opinions shouldn't matter on your truck but since you ask, based on personal preference I give you a 5. Not a fan of 20" wheels on a offroad truck

    Your truck gets a 9. (I too am not a fan of the 20's). Nice look though.
