    Not to hijack the thread, BUT when I was a kid KOOL cigs had a few bugs running around town as rolling billboards. It was actually quite a popular thing: There were CAMEL and LEVI'S bugs around here as well as ads for a couple radio stations.

    Hate is a strong feeling. I simply prefer something else.

    Kind of have to put it in context . . . . hating boiled spinach is not the same as, say, hating pedophiles. I think what folks actually mean is they just do not like chrome - especially chrome plated plastic.

    I agree, hate is a bit strong, as for me it implies effort put into disliking something. Its all opinion in any way when it comes to chrome, but I wish the manus would stop draping accessories in chrome dipped plastic parts.

    The chrome badges don't bother me as much as the chrome rear bumper. I installed the black bumper covers.

    Those wheels take me back. That was the look you wanted when I was in high school in the late 80’s. Still looks good, just not popular anymore. But I think everyone should do whatever makes them happy with their truck.

    Chrome can really improve you when you’re 65….

    While not concerned about chrome my 22SR 4x4 came with only the "4x4" the "V6" and the Toyota logo in the grill chromed. It did come with the painted silver steel wheels which got replaced by a guy de-chroming his TRD Sport.
    $1k with around 100 miles on the tires. Sold the steelies for $400. The bumper didn't have any chrome but one bump from my trailer hitch and it was creased. Junk plastic and thin sheet metal. Now it has a REAL bumper that added 82lbs for better traction on our wet roads. I did de-decal it when I retired in May.
