    The 'Prerunner' in the OP might be the first clue that he knows...

    lol yea. i knew it wasnt a 4x4. I didnt know exactly what to look for to verify TRD Sport though until after the fact but i knew prerunner meant 2WD. But thanks for pointing that out just in case. You never know.

    I know a Surgeon who knows how to transplant a human kidney but doesn't know how to change inputs on his TV, which any teenager knows how to do. Moral of the story is, you know what you know.

    When it came to Tacoma packages I just didnt know. Should have come to Tacoma World first before buying.

    I'm talking the texture of paint. Surely it's just my phone that makes it look like that

    Looks like one of the water spots on the truck, which is wet.

    Don't use heat, they come off just fine with some fishing line or paracord strands.

    Then hit it with Goo Gone and some soap and water, and fresh wax when you're finished.

    The decals can be taken off with an eraser wheel. Or you can do it by hand and see how it goes. Lift a hard edge with a razor blade (carefully) and pull it (carefully).

    Both sides of my truck clearly reflect the cars on each side parked around it. This one does not.
