Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I think it's disingenuous to make a lesser model look like a higher end model. (Says the guy who just installed a Pro grill ) 'specially the badge changes. I hate being a poser. I made an exception for the grill 'cause I really like the look of that. Nobody will mistake my SR5 for another trim level with the snowflakes on.

 

So my seasoned OR 3rd Gen wheels with tired KM3's for that price should sell?

 

Mine never was a TRD, but you can't mistake its family resemblance. Better than a TRD now so does that badge issue still count???? I mean if it has better than TRD stuff (mods etc.) in it...

 

What about folks like me who have peeled off their TRD Sport stickers? Also thinking about replacing all four fender flares with black so that they don't show scratches like my white ones do, would that be considered disingenuous too?

 

I've seen trucks on dealer lots with a TRD Offroad sticker on and they weren't TRDs.

I've been thinking about pulling the TRD Sport stickers off the truck. With having a locker, am I still a Sport?

Trail Limo,,,yes!!

 

You still have the skewp man!

 

Chick magnet...

 

Oh, gotcha. I don't really think there's anything wrong with swapping wheels and grilles. Fake badging is the only thing I really think is silly.

 

Removing the badges isn't the same as replacing them with higher end badges. Your not trying to deceive anybody by removing them.

Whatever trim the truck has when it left the factory, heavily built or not, it is still that trim package. It may be better than a higher end trim, but it's still what it is when born. Yeah, you still have a Sport.

This one really gets under my skin. People trying to pass off their ride as something it's not. Then trying to sell it to some one that doesn't know better. It's fraudulent.

 

I just checked, for all of the stickers you can get on Etsy, I couldn't find a Trail Limo sticker.

 

Fully agree to the point of keeping my Jaws grill on for the life of my SR5.

Of course to each their own. I'm just a contrarian by sake of my last name

 

Although I'm not going to lie I wanted to jump on the raptor light trend with said grill for something like this on the bottom three slots

 

I guess that means I need to come up with one. Hmmm.

 

Damn straight it does. Get to work!!

 

I wasn't aware this was a 'trend' when I put my new cheap grill on with raptors. Didn't even know what the lights meant.
I just liked the lights.
Now that I'm aware so many are bothered by 3-4 little lights, I leave them on out if spite.
Do whatever you like is how I feel.

 

The big lake was in full rage today. Big waves. Big wind and COLD! Took the dogs and girls for a very short walk (My oldest is home for spring break which was a fun surprise!)

 

ya got your shorts on still?

 

Yep

 

Mine have held up perfectly for 3 years of hard wheeling so far
