Yup, up and down that hill every day. I live just up the hill, and work just down the hill. I guess i'll need to be on the lookout for a Quicksand Tacoma in the area from now on. Any defining mods yet? Mine stands out enough my buddy's 1.5 year old yelled "Ryan!" from his carseat the other day before I crossed in front of them at a random intersection, lol.

 

Interested in selling just the OME springs?

 

Just my bro grill. I saw your neighborhood photos and I feel like we are super close. We can be Tacoma bros fuck the Oregon meet up LMAO

 

So, much agree with you. I have a 2017 Quicksand OR and chrome looks terrible on that color. Was looking for a SR grill couldn't find one fast enough, so went with a Pro grill.

 

Uhhhh... I'm 35, and chrome was all the rage when I had my first car. I had a 1991 Jeep Wrangler (4-banger). I had chrome tubular bumpers, nerf bars, grille cover, etc. Couldnt get enough.


Picture for reference... not mine, but very similar.



My next car was a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR4. Put 18" chrome Enkei Zeus rims on it... which was a big rim at the time. Got stolen a week later, for the wheels.

 

Agreed. Plasti derp makes a big difference. Though, I would like to switch to another grill at some point. T3 ftw

 

I'm 47, and I HATE chrome, always have. Probably one of those things where "I don't like what my dad likes" situations. He would be in his 70's today (if he was still with us, miss you dad!). It is quite frustrating particularly with the Big 3 full size brands: Acres of chrome, and few options to get rid of it. Ford SDs have very few options to get rid of the chrome, and it usually only applies to the lower trim levels. Ram has a few options with their "Sport appearance package", but the color choices get limited when you select that package.

So at some point in the near future, Toyota (and the Big 3) will have to change their philosophy on who wants chrome. It's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy too, as they have limited options to go chrome-less on the higher trim models. "See, everybody wants the high trim models, so they must like chrome!" instead of "I'm buying the higher trim model DESPITE the shitty chrome trim...."

 

Yeah, the pro grill is the best by far, but at the bottom of the list of things I want to do.

 

So you're saying I shouldn't put F-Sport badges on the #Flexus?

 

But the is that is that it’s not a BMW so people (unless they are avid Tacoma fans) arent going to be like that dude put a pro grill on a non-pro truck

 

Okay so what I’m trying to say is Chrome isn’t as popular as it was before.

Also sorry about your wheels being stolen that sucks. I know it happened forever ago but the pain is still there. Lol

 

Agreed the Ford Platinum is god awful ugly. I guess they need to make a Ford Onyx or something if we want black. [Contact me Ford for my permission to use that name]

 

F-sport with Hybrid would be siiick

 

I'm the same age as you but I never liked chrome though. Gun metal was really popular in the late 90's and early 2000s for imports. My first 4x4 was a XJ back in 2006 and I blacked out everything on it.

 

It looks like there is almost no angle with your CVs. How did you manage that with that lift????

 

OME 2" is what I'm running. Added weight of the steel bumper/winch combo?

 

Its like my daddy always said:

"Chrome gets you dome, but it dont get you home."

No wait, thats me that says that.

 

It's honestly why I never modified any of my cars since... until the Tacoma. It's too good to leave stock.

 

I just remember chrome spinners and HUGE wheels... I liked it at the time, but fads change. I'm all blacked out now.

I used to like bleached oak cabinets, but now like dark cherry or mocha colors. I'm sure chrome will return to vogue.

 

Uppers changed or nah?
