Looking For Feedback

Hey there everyone, this rig was just finished and I thought I would solicit some feedback from you all. I know it is not a Tacoma, however, look at the paint, not the rig :^)



P.S. The rig used to be red

I personally am not a big fan of trucks with flames painted on them, regardless of what it is. then you throw a lifted full-size under it, im not impressed, but thats just me. perhaps others will like it. i like trucks that are simple and solid. but, the paint job does look nice!

I understand what you are saying...After all I have a 4Runner to play with and a 03' Power Stroke to Tow with...I was really wanting people to disregard the rig and just look at the paint. Thanks for the feedback!

I think the paint looks great...I could easily see it on a white Tacoma or 4runner.

Looks like a west coast choppers paint job.
Sorry mike, the truck is not really my style but I can certainly appreciate a nice paint job tho.

To be honest I really don't like it at all. I just think that lifted trucks and flames don't really go together.

Paint job looks pretty good! I've seen a few lowered Tacomas with the same style flames and doesn't look all that bad. Either it looks good!

Thanks for everyones comments...I know the truck or the flames may not be your style, however, the owner loves it and I guess that is all that counts...

Just thought I would see what my fellow YotaTech members thought.

Thanks for taking the time to post everyone!
