    What’s the purpose of a pro grille? Or removing/painting emblems? Lifts that aren’t needed? Let’s face it, there are plenty of Tacoma mods that are only for looks.

    Because I like it? If I wanna spend 6 grand on wheels and tires, who is gonna stop me? Just like I don’t stop people from buying fake pro grills and roof top tents that you never use lol

    How can any mod you do to your truck be viewed as useless? It may be to someone else but you decided it was worth the money due to the fact you either liked/wanted the look or function of the mod or item.

    I would be willing to bet that over 60% of all the mods done to pickups in general are all for looks .

    The answer is looks. What’s the purpose of wearing a nice shirt or getting a haircut or wearing makeup? It’s all for looks which is actually a pretty important purpose to most people.

    You can’t compare those two. Of course you want to look representable and not like a homeless person, am I right?

    Yes, but you also want your truck to look good (hence the emblem mods or grille mods), am I right?
