but it's not a Taco 
I wasn't going to say anything bad about it, but it is a SICK looking truck, and personally I don't feel the Taco badge belongs on it; just my opinion
sorry...
but on the other hand, it IS your truck, not mine, and that's what customising is all about; making it your own
I do like how you painted it though!
honestly, it almost gives me the same impression those cheesy "Type R" stickers these kids put on ricers
no offence to you or the truck though man; you've done an AWSOME job on it, and I can't wait to see some wheeling pics, with that suspention really working

8 month build and worth the wait. I have always wondered how long it takes. I'm sure if you have the $$$ it goes much quicker. I think your truck looks sweet! Thanks for all the pictures I know that takes time when posting.

lol, yeah it's purdy funny just saying "Taco" and all, but to me personally, I don't feel it belongs on a model that's not really a Taco it wouldn't even be right in my mind for me to put "Hilux" on my truck somewhere, cause it's not a TRUE Hilux... if you follow me here...
