Ok, Boomer, what's the point of doing mods if you're not going to show the world exactly what you can afford to buy and put on your vehicle? How will anyone know how yeet - worthy your mods are if any and all brand marketing/stickers are not shiny clean and prominently displayed? You can't be "lit" with the mall crawler crowd without an acceptable level of street cred via corporate brand marketing on your truck.

If we are here on this forum for form or function, chances are we have some degree of awareness for what is overly faux pas.
No one should criticize someone’s vehicle for appearing old and used. On the flip side, we shouldn’t assume a pristine or expensive rig won’t eventually see dirt; we all start somewhere with varying levels of care and resources.
With that said, I’d joke about a 4runner on 22” chrome spinners all day.

Just because my kid is already 20 doesn't mean I'm a Boomer, lol. My parents are Boomers.

We're probably close to the same age. I'm not young enough for the terminology I used either. Had to look half of that shit up on urban dictionary to make sure I was using it right. lol

The best part is that it’s the same color as the rain gutters on the building behind it, so the gutter looks like some type of weird snorkel designed to look like a muzzle brake for artillery.

I totally missed that with my color deficiency!
Real question is: Does the gutter match the truck or does the truck match the gutter?
This quote sums up the whole build:
“ So, it’s a replica of a replica of a replica. Or something like that.”

I said yes, but the truth is I'm in the middle. When it comes to products I care more about their functionality than their aesthetics. With that said, and as others have said, I don't want something like looks completely horrible either.

Does this come with a customized Zombie Outbreak Response Team decal? If so count me in!

I think we can all admit we have one or two mods that are there for looks. Although over the last 5 yrs I’ve tried to stay in the camp of form follows function. Everything on my truck should have a purpose.
I do however get a kick out of all those IG “Overlanders”. With their shiny ceramic coated trucks laced with raptor lights and winchless winch bumpers with color matched shackles. Makes my half broken dented and scratched up truck look bad.

Kool vs usefulness...
hmmmm
no, they dont HAVE to look cool...but it doesnt hurt if they do.
some mods are for kool-ness
some mods are because they make the rig that much more potent.
and as far as dents, scratches, & imperfections...since when isnt a cool scar a badge of honor on a 4runner?
i dont put an exhaust on my race bikes because they look cool...i put them on so the bike performs better.
would you put the coolest ATs on if you also read that they didnt grip a dayum thing while off roading??
