    The bed stiffeners are a good example too. There are two variations that I know of, and both are ridiculously priced. That said, I'm a capitalist and I think if you can get people to pay it then why the hell not?

    Function before sparkle.
    Don’t get me started on bed stiffeners. Try being a Canadian and ordering a set. After exchange and shipping it’s about the same as what I would spend taking a week trip in the backcountry. Including fuel.

    pretty sure that sandwich would clog the pipes on anyone. but, it's a cool story about how he'd load up his private jet and fly into denver just to pick one up.

    Unpopular opinion? IPAs suck. Yes, even that one you think is good, sucks.


    Unpopular Tundra opinion? The oil filter location sucks.

    While I was in college I worked a couple of quick lube gigs and I can honestly tell you that I love where the Tundra's oil filter is located. I've got burn scars from where other filters are located...

    I agree! I hate how IPAs have become the new standard in beer. You go out with some friends and the bar has 5 beers on draught and 20 in bottles in cans. Of the 5 on tap 4 are IPAs. Of the 20 in bottles and cans 17 are IPAs. It sucks.

    I have always, and will always prefer wheats, hefes, wits, brown ales, and stouts. =]

    Seems awfully presumptuous on your part.

    I prefer bourbons over beers. But, I knew it was an "unpopular" opinion when I wrote it, so...

    Sadly that's about all I can have right now, and only once in awhile. My wife and I have switched to wine (red and white) over the past 6 months or so. I have to say it's growing on me.

    you refer to the other food groups?

    EDIT: Can't click right... was quoting: "wheats, hefes, wits, brown ales, and stouts."

    I got a few pet peeves (not only applicable to Tundras):

    1. Wheels larger than 18" with huge offsets and "offroad" tires with no sidewall
    2. Lift kits that do nothing but raise the truck (pucks, blocks)
    3. LED tailgate brake light strips, things always have burnt out sections
    4. Massive exhaust tips
    5. Excessive interior color matching and faux trim replacement
    6. Side steps that are designed to look like sliders but provide none of the protection
    7. "Raptor" grille lights if you don't have long travel and the width to match
    8. Most of the cheap aftermarket steel bumpers that give your truck an underbite

    :crapstorm:

    I agreed with most of what you had to say until I got to this.... :fenforcer:

    We all know this look comes on more Tundras then any other truck. :facepalm:

    I'm just talking crap.. Hope no one is seriously offended. White was on my short list if I couldn't get my first color choice.
