    Why the swap?
    Assuming you also like the cleaner look on not having a "fugly" hood scoop?
    Not a fan, looks cheezy to me...

    My wife is 5' 0" and has never driven my Tacoma in 8 years. She says she can see over the hood scoop. Hood scoop for the win!

    Cleaner look and less in the way of vision on the trails.

    Hey that’s great lol like I said, even though it’s marginal, it’s still noticeable. To me at least.

    Since you are hitting the trails, a flat hood makes sense.

    Purchased Toyota Certified, with Vijay bumpers, additional lights, and Falken Wildpeaks on Fuel rims. Prev owner apparently painted the grill.
    Bought my 2022 Off Road used, has a scoop. It does block a little bit of the road I think, I haven't taken it off road yet to see if it interferes there.

    How many posts do I need to be able to post anywhere, and does this post count towards that number?
    Geebus - the answer is FIFTY this post will be 26.

    Thanks @EYBT , sorry I cant thank thank you in your own thread.

    It's definitely noticeable. Also have a 4 runner off road which oddly comes with that contraption and it does impact the visibility. The one thing I did notice with the hood scoop is the hood doesn't bounce as much a highway speed.
