    I do not like the water bottle...








    Paint them black. I have red calipers up front and black drums. I love how clean it looks. I have a BSP Tacoma though. Anyway, you have put a lot of work into making that truck yours, very nice!

    For the love of god, Please remove the "To punish and Enslave" A guy who works at the local wal mart has one on his Jeep grand cherokee... Transformers was cool but as my girlfriend pointed out, There has yet to be a transforming Tacoma. So its kinda pointless... Id remove all the stickers, Level out the two different colors and line up the front bumper with your fender flare on the bottom. Until then my vote goes to ugly as shit. Sorry man. I def respect the work and time and creativity, Just not my cup of tea.

    my bad not iron hide but Trailbreaker was one of the original Autobots aboard the Ark. When it crashed, he was re-activated four million years later and his vehicle was converted to that of a Toyota HiluxG1Trailbreaker_toy_5b5aef4df432471ced4139bd92a096f93bc185f1.jpg

    I would paint drums black, other than that it looks great and it looks like you put a lot of time into it. Just about 80% of the trucks that are on here have black rims, nice to see something different. Is that a 5 lugger?

    Im not a fan of the rims, i just like the thicker spokes on trucks BUT despite that I think you did a good job on doing the red accent and I think it looks good.
