Its not my style, but you gotta give the man some credit. He spent his money making his tacoma look the way he wanted it to.

definately a waist. I wonder if that 2.7L can handle all the electrical mods he has done to it. Either that he has upgrades under the hood to handle everything

I agree... i hate that kind of stuff...

If anything it should be in an acura/honda or the similar.... not a truck, even a POS truck.... a truck should never be ricerized (lack of a better word)

Yep a waste. A truck is for jacking. If your gonna do that go buy and impala or 50 chevy or something that looks good like that.

waste... its a waste of a truck, nothing about a waist... just like the item description on that eBay page. I absolutely hate trying to read stuff with a spelling error every other word, especially when people are trying to sell something. <end rant>

but honestly, who's to say what way is right, and wrong to do to a car, yeah I'd rather see it lifted, or left stock, but w/e. I don't want to see every single import car riced out and drifted <mini rant 2.0 off>

Definitely not a waist!

This is a waist:



It's not like it was a 4x4 taco. We missed out on a prerunner, aww shucks.
At least he finished it, most of the slammed trucks around here don't even have the funds to complete the vision. Open yer mind and learn to spell.

Choices and more choices, we all get to make them. He made his and we make ours. He did do some interesting things to it and if he did it all himself more power to him. Not my style but then again when he sees our trucks he may think the same.

It wouldn't be so ugly if not for the paintjob; mental note: do not let "Steve VanDemon" inside of 10 miles of my truck!! LoL

The sound system looks weak in my opinion. And from what little I can see in those pics the actual fiberglass work looks good.

Speaking of pictures, why are the pictures taken with a cameraphone? If the guy had enough money to spend 50k (yeah right) worth of upgrades, you'd think he'd have some sort of a digital camera to help sell it!!

Anyone else think the paintjob is ungodly tacky? Need to tone it down a bit and stick to a 1 or 2 toned down color scheme, something like black and a dark sand pearl mica or a dark grey. Make it look smooooth and clean...

i don't think it's a waste (not waist, as deathrunner pointed out, a waist is the think at your midsection)...it's the guys own liking, he had a vision and he achieved that, much like some of us want/have done...also there is no hard and fast rule what can be done to a truck, if you like it low and pinstriped etc etc then that's what it's for for that guy, for us it's to jack and off road...different strokes for different folks...
