    Well, than if you don't want to know, then don't ask, right? Just have to remember, its your truck, do what ever the hell you want to do with it. If you like it, it's all that matters. Might agree with you alittle more, if he didn't ask, but he did.

    No worries y'all. I may not put my comments in that form but everyone's entitled to their own opinion and I asked for them. And the skid was too much green but it's over with, it's black now. I understand what your saying though about some people's comments but thats everywhere you go, internet, shops, stores, etc. Some people are just more blunt than others, it's all good.

    Chill man. OP has a sense of humor about it.
    One of his poll options was "Oh hell naw!"

    Could tell he didn't really like it either by the way he talked.

    OP I like the green I jusy think the color was too ”BAM!!!!!!!!!!” looking. I know u painted it black now but if u repaint it green just use a darker color and I think it would look tight

    I may go with what Rich said some day and stencil off maybe a biohazard symbol since I'll be getting the TRD zombie response bedside decals from sockmonkey, (yep, I'm one of those guys, lol) However, I like your beadlocks, what kind are those, enduros? Maybe one day swap out my white led side markers with green ones but I'll have to research on-road use first before I make that call. Who knows what I'll do in the future, only had the truck for 5 weeks now, still haven't even made the first payment, lol

    Man, I've been wanting a tacoma for so long and now that I have one I can finally start crossing off my "To Do/Mod List" lol. I've modded every vehicle I've ever had except my last truck, a Frontier, I got it cause it was a cheap 4 banger to haul my bike around...I HATED it! lol. I wanted a tacoma back then but I couldn't find one to fit my budget and I was in need of a truck since I was moving cross country also. But now I have my Tacoma and the only thing that would make this one perfect is if it were 4x4 but I got a damn good deal on it and couldn't pass it up; at least I got a locker though, lol

    Too much. Keep the skid plate black. Paint the tow hooks green instead.
