TURD because its usually on a stock Yota that didn't come with a TRD package and I just have to laugh at the fact someone would pay $30+ for a STICKER

pretty much

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

I think Toyota racing development.  I don't pay attention to yotas that are newer than 95.  I only know of one Tacoma (2005) around here that is really built.  Chromoly 44 up front with ctm's, dana 60 rear with yukon shafts, and full PSC hydraulic steering.  Everything else is just flatbiller style.
Go 1-Ton from the start

Maybe when you worked at Mags... I was in there about a year ago and I asked how much the TRD stickers were for shits and giggles and the cheapest one they had was 30 bucks

I always cringe a little when I see them on pre-tacomas, just cause you pretty much know it's some spode who has no clue.

I would stick one under the 4x4 badge on my 1st gen if I got an e-locker, but only if I could find a small one the same color as the paint.
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

TRD?  Well.....the first 2 letters are my initials and the "D" could mean "driving" (so stand back!  :driving:)  or "designs"  :flamer::gap:


I would never pay 30 bucks for that sticker especially when I know somebody who would probably make that sticker for me for free.  :cheese:

Yeah but not all TRD packages come with a locker, my friend bought a first gen tacoma with a TRD package and all that consisted of was TRD floor mats.
