trd sticker on non trd

Do what ya want its your Tacoma.

Welcome to TW Yoda-master

 

I don't think this is as gay as the prerunner I saw on friday with some "custom" 4x4 stickers accompanied by some awesome stripes down the side! Viva la mexico!

 

Hey look, I kind of agree with what a lot of others are saying - it is your truck - do what you want. But a non TRD with TRD stickers is as lame as a non SS with SS stickers/badges. And I don't buy the argument about the TRD OR and Sport packages not being enough of a performance upgrade to matter. If you chose not to get a TRD package because you didn't think it was worth the money - then why the hell would you want a TRD sticker on your truck. My original plan was to get a 2010 DBL CAB 4x4 with the SR5 package and a few other options like alloy wheels. I would be the first to admit that a truck like that would be nearly identical and able to go anywhere the 2010 DBL CAB 4x4 TRD Sport that I ended up buying would. However, I would have never bought a non-TRD truck and then slapped some TRD stickers on it. You can do whatever you want - but don't get defensive about other people saying it is lame. Knowing that I was driving around in a non-TRD truck with TRD stickers would be worse than driving around in a non-TRD truck that I wished was a TRD. I'm pretty sure what response this will get - so I'll preempt that argument. Don't say that by putting TRD stickers on a non-TRD truck that you don't really wish you had a TRD - cause that is exactly what it means. That does not mean that you have to have a TRD package to have a cool truck - I've seen so many non-TRD Tacomas on the streets and on this website that are way more badass than the 100% stock TRD Sport that I drive - that is for sure.

 

dude...

Breathe in...breath out...

It's not really that big of a thing.

 

dude - you are right it's not. But if it is not that big of a thing why the post to say it is not that big of a thing 5 minutes after my post? Would you put the stickers on your truck?

 

I just happened to be cruisin' by this thread and saw your post. It appeared you need to take a deep breath.

Personally, I haven't thought about it. I have an SR5 and could find better ways to spend my money. Although the Sockmonkey stickers are real cool...you should check them out.

 

Thats cool - but why would it appear I needed to take a breath? It looked to me that this thread was asking people's opinion - and I gave mine. I should be really clear here and say that in no way, shape, or form do I think a TRD truck is necessarily any better than a non-TRD truck. That is why they offer options like this - if the option is appealling to you - you get it - if it is not, you don't. I have to admit though that the psychology of this whole topic is very interesting. It is not like they only let certain, lucky people get TRDs - anyone can have one. I mean, if you can afford to buy a brand new 2010 SR5 4x4 you could certainly afford a TRD package as well. Those that got a TRD package concluded it was worth it - those that didn't concluded it was not. The thing that intrigues me is if someone didn't think a TRD package was worth the extra money - why would they put a sticker on their truck to make it look like they did? I'm not even concernced about the whole "trying to portray something falsely" idea. Anyone seriously considering buying a Tacoma would know whether the truck had a TRD package whether the thing had a sticker on it or not (I know a lot of people take the stickers off). If I saw a non-TRD Tacoma on the street with TRD stickers I doubt I would even notice - and if I did, I certainly wouldn't say anything - or think any less of the driver of the truck. Here's the thing that makes this interesting. No one in the world (other than Tacoma owners/enthusiasts) would even know what the TRD sticker means. If you don't know anything about Tacomas - then TRD means nothing to you. So the only people who wouldn't know it was fake - wouldn't even care. This is why I don't understand why someone would want to do it. Then again to each their own - what any other person does to their truck has no effect on me whatsoever. So if you like it -then do it - but most people who know what it means will think it is lame.

However..I value your opinion, and all opinions. Just make it easy and fun to read.

 

What - you're dyslexic? It's pretty clear English. I gotta say it really doesn't look like you value anyone else's opinions. Which is fine - but why respond then?

 

Was it easy or fun to type in all that jibberish?

 

I can reply with just one sentence posts - no problem.

 

Shits getting heated in here

 

i dont have stickers... but i have a Toyota Racing Development license plate frame set on my truck, and its not "TRD" but guess what?... i dont give a flying fuck

 

I really hope the pantie un-wad ferries visited you last night.

And...

 

Whatever - I can tolerate someone having a different opinion than mine. I can even understand you saying my posts were too long (you're right they kinda were). But why not just say that? Larry, you shoulda just got a TRD and we could have avoided all this.

 

ahahah +1

 

Doubtful...as this is not my thread.

And if the Pyrite Mica I have was a TRD OR or Sport...I probably would have bought it any way.

I found it on a local dealers lot and bought it the next day.

It fit my basic criteria...had it had more options than that, as said...I still would have bought it.

Personally I could care less about the stickers. (If I ever want one, I'll hook up w/ Sockmonkey)...

 

Wow...im so confused why this thread is even present...reminds me of something I read a long time ago...please view the video

I put a different video on...its the whole thing, but on speed play. It's also a miror image sideways...oh well...you get the point...

Oh and no disrespect to Sockmonkey (I love his work!)...but he is the dude in the green car in this video!

Who cares? I'd only be pissed if i didn't know much about Tacoma's and thought i was buying a TRD when it was actually an SR5 with a TRD sticker on it.
