I feel like this is appropriate.
 
did we learn nothing from fast and the furious. I took this picture a couple years back, the car has been around for awhile and exchanged owners a few time but it use to look just like paul walkers eclipse in the 1st fast and furious.

Yeah, and if I remember correctly Paul Walker upgraded decals and it turned into a Supra. It's amazing what vinyl can do!!!!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneoneone
 
I had a Tacoma Prerunner TRD for 12 years. The TRD tires (BFG Rugged trails) only lasted a few thousand miles before they had to be replaced. The TRD suspension also got replaced later on, leaving nothing TRD left on the truck (the E locker was available outside of the TRD package). It saw more rock, dirt, sand and mud miles than most 4wd 4Runners out there. It's not the drive in your axles, it's the drive in your heart.

The rear elockers where developed by TRD so you where still good with them. LOL.
 
I can't deal w the TRD logo ever since I accidentally read it as TuRD and I couldn't un-see it

so now it's the TuRD package

sorry if that ruins it for anyone else.

No everyone knows this. My dad has called them TuRDs since day one. He loved it when I added mine. He said you got a TuRD! It was priceless.
 
Pride, compensation? :shrug:

Why do people place gt, cobra, or 5.0 badges on v6 Mustangs? Or Acura badges on Hondas?
Or a Saleen, Nismo, Roush windshield banner stickers?

Ferrari sells a big fat logo badge as an option for the front fenders, but you can purchase a nice 3rd gen for how much extra it costs.

If TRD wanted to sponsor me, I'd gladly throw their sticker on my truck.

But hey, this is Murica! Do what you want with your money. I wouldn't have it any other way. :cowboy:
 
the only thing i did was put a 4wd badge under my right headlight bc thats how the south american spec cars come n it looks cool.

what really constitutes a TuRD part anyway, what cars from the era actually came w/ TRD parts?

I'm a bit ignant when it comes to marketing ploys

Yeah the Rugged Trails suck, but the Rugged Terrains are great tires. That's what I've got and they't got nearly 30k miles, and a lot of life left in them. I wasn't trying to poke at anyone with a 2WD TRD truck, but it seems like they almost make more TRD ones in 2WD than 4WD, at least around here. My dad had a really hard time finding a 4WD TRD Off road when the 2WD ones seemed to be everywhere. You fall into the 1% then, and good for you. I can respect that. The majority of the TRD package trucks whether 2WD or 4WD will never see any sort of mud or dirt though. I probably saw at least 20 just today, and I doubt any of them have really been "Off-Road".

Exactly, it's not hurting anything having them on there and at worst your out $15. I've spent $15 on way stupider things before... Since they never actually made a TRD 4Runner, I feel like it kinda leaves it up to the owner to make it there own TRD. I'm fine with people putting things like this on their cars, but I don't like it when you see a little base model mustang running around with 5.0 badges, GT badges, and what not. I guess that's because I feel like they are trying to be something they're not when they couldn't afford/obtain the better version of their car. I also don't care for mustangs or their owners usually so that might influence my opinion too haha. Not all of them are bad, but they tend to attract a certain type of person it seems...
