Maybe something with UP in it that isn't necessarily to do with the name Tacoma. At least there it gives you 5 other characters to work with.

I was going to say UP Detail but that's one letter too many.

A friend of mine suggested TOYOOPA.

I like that a lot better than TacoETR.

Tacomas are often referred to as "Taco".

So are vaginas.

If I felt like finishing off the look, some 35s and some nice black wheels thay give it a little offset would be really sweet. But this is a DD.  I don't want 35s on my DD and I'm not huge into offroading, so theres no need for me.  Perhaps I can get new wheels later on...the ones on it were beginning to corrode. Previous owner painted them a bit.  But if I did, I'd still stick to a stockish tire, especially if I removed the lift.

Bro Taco style? Bad news. I think a truck that looks like that turns you into a raging twat.

What tires are on it? My philosophy for a useful not-tacky off-roadable truck is stock height, stock suspension, good load range E AT tread tires, locking rear diff, and added lighting on the front.

The guy also gave me an HID bi-xenon kit with it, including bulbs and ballasts. I'm guessing the guy he bought it from had it wired up in the silly tinted lens headlights before the frame was replaced.  Might rig it up and see if it's any good.

Be careful using stock style lenses with brighter bulbs. Stock lenses are not designed for bright bulbs and scatter a lot of light at oncoming drivers.

Yeah, I'm not bro-ing it out. How many times do I need to say it......?? :facepalm:

Tires are Cooper Discoverer A/T^3, stock size, 245/70/17...not much life left. Will probably need/want something new come winter.

Well, you did just describe how sweet it would look bro'd out, so maybe a couple of more times. ;)

Those look like good enough tires.

Unless you think those lenses were designed for HIDs, don't waste your time.

Just cause I like the look of some of them doesn't mean I'm gonna do it. :lol:

I'm a very functional person...I don't like unnecessary crap. I don't need big tires or lift or to show off how big I think my penis is and I don't do serious off roading, so it would just be silly.

TRUCK carried an 8' table back to a friend's house across town earlier.  FUCK YEAH TRUCK TASKS.

The table got to my place in the TBlaze with the front passenger seat scooted all the way forward.  Goddamn, it was so much easier with TRUCK.

Yup I had the back seats down, front seat pushed forward and bent over, and my friend in the hatch squished under the table.  :lol:

Ohhh haha Took me a second. That is a good one. A bit more subtle.

See, I'm not really a taco guy, so it just kinda went over my head. :lol:

Unfortunately, pasty doesn't fit in anywhere.

Not really much of a pasty guy, either. :lol:

I've put about 120 miles on this season. Filled it up when I got it out and haven't had to fuel it up since.

That's one of the stupidest license plate ideas I've heard of. I don't live there but I'm willing to venture a guess that there aren't too many tacos being made and eaten in the UP. Even if that were the case and they happened to be his favorite food, it would still be dumb.

Perhaps it would make sense on some level in that case, but even still...it's corny as hell.

I tried one and it just didn't do it for me. Not sure if it was that I had never eaten one before or what, but I didn't especially like it. Meat, potatoes....wrapped in a pastry.

I can see how it'd make a good lunch for the workers down in the copper mine though.

What about TOYOPER? I kinda like that one better, though they are rather similar. You'll think of something eventually that'll fit. Or if nothing works out you could just get a regular license plate. ;) :lol:

But this tread got me thinking about getting one myself and if I did, I was thinking "MTN LVN" or "MTN RE" would be good choices. I never knew until just now that I can actually get a speciality plate after a regular one is issued but I'm wrong about that apparently.

I want to get one.
