    I like to look at a person's Like to Message Ratio rather than just their messages.

    Sacrilege to rid yourself from the skewp. I bought my Truck becasue it has one. Put one on my 3rd gen limited 4Runner. But do what works for you. You'll definitely make some Off Road guy's wet dream come true when he's able to put the finishing touches on his trans Pro.
    That being said, I do get the glare thing mentioned earlier but it has to be at a perfect angle. But the one or 2 times it's gotten me in 4 years, I was on looking for those matte black stickers like one the Pros. Thing is, the glare was actually behind the skewp but still. I guess the skewp makes it more flat.

    I've seen people call it a pseudo-Pro or a faux-Pro, but trans-Pro is all time hahaha I'm definitely using that one.

    And then the new buyer gets upset when they can't find the locker.

    I would not recommend pasting shit all over this forum as some have suggested. I took their advice 3 months ago when I was starting an account here. I wound up getting banned.

    would not advise.

    Purchased Toyota Certified, with Vijay bumpers, additional lights, and Falken Wildpeaks on Fuel rims. Prev owner apparently painted the grill.
    Thank you for that advise, it triggered a thought. There are a lot of threads on TW that actually support frivolous posting that can be used to increase post count. I won't post links, but if you search for "Morning" you may find several threads that are hundreds of posts long, many of which are simply wishes of "Good morning" to the thread creator and residents.

    For the record, I do NOT support spamming the forum and agree that there should be a way to keep spammers out. Fifty posts seems like a high bar that may in reality decrease the signal to noise ratio in the forum.

    Morning @kcsyota !

    The hood scoop vision problem must be another 3rd gen problem.
    The little bit that it "blocks" your vision is minor. A front camera can fix that. The few people that I know that have a front camera drive Off Roads

    It’s absolutely minor, I agree. But it’s enough for me to not want it lol. I do think the scoop is larger on the 3rd gen than the 2nd.
