Couple of TRD Sport Easy Mods

[EastonTaco]

I fell in love with Tacomas when going to Africa-Tanzania, Nigeria, Congo, etc. These Tacos had hundreds of thousands of miles on them, no doors or bumpers, and no two wheels the same, but they still ran like champs. I’m on Taco #2 with my new Sport. I don’t off road beyond fire roads for photo expeditions and getting to the mountains to ski so I don’t need heavy duty off road stuff. However I found a few simple mods for us Sport guys. The first is a light skid plate that does not require the OR cross member. In my opinion, this meshes the best of all plates I looked at against the lower bumper cover. I would not rock slide with it, but it’s more than adequate for kicked up road debris. I found it on ebay, I don’t think they sell on a website. The second is a VLEDS license plate frame with enhanced backup, brake, and taillights. It’s truly plug and play, took 15 minutes to install, and five minutes of that was me searching my garage for longer license plate screws. Us Sport guys need to stick together, seems we are always outnumbered by the OR guys! BUT WE HAVE A BETTER HOOD, Lol.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. As a fellow TRD Sport owner, thank you for saying what has been on my brain but my mouth could not articulate for years. YES, we are the highway Taco kings. The Taco TRD Sport is the "sports car" of all pickup trucks ! The TRD Off-Road is so over-rated with so much overpriced extra crap you don't need and most will never use. And ya know what ? I love my fake hood scoop !
