    Haha! It's all in good fun. Plus the Storm Trooper never goes out of style. IMO anyone driving the Inferno Orange truck better roll that smack quick. Colors like that come & go quick. :poking:

    Here's another one for outside of Toyota.

    Massive 12" stacks on diesels that stick up through the bed and dump black shit on the back window. (usually paired with minimal side wall tires on 22" rims.)

    Function before sparkle.
    At least everyone agrees that Cement on a Tundra is the best all-purpose color.

    It’s not the fastest, not the most flashy, doesn’t look the best in direct sunlight and has issues with trim color matching but it always looks presentable and shines up when the occasion requires it.

    It’s like tan on a Land Cruiser or a navy Patagonia pullover.

    If they had it in the Platinum model I would have it. I just could not deal with all that extra chromeo_O. Not to mention the Limited had that SH**Y fake wood grain.:anonymous:

    I didn't say it looked bad. I just know that every year you own it your potential resale customer opportunity goes down simply based on its color. That being said, you are still selling it to the Toyota community. If we are being honest we really must be some of the biggest suckers based on what we are willing to pay for what we get. :boink:

    I agree that all the aftermarket parts are definitely over priced, trust me I have lots of them. But unfortunately the cheap shit looks like crap so unfortunately we have to pay to play. The only reason I bought a tundra was for the color. Orange just happens to be my favorite color and the reliability after owning it for 5 years has been a huge plus. As for selling it, there are no plans of that happening with all the cash I put into it. I planned on this being my truck till the wheels fall off. I thought about selling it after someone rear ended it recently, but thought about all the money I would lose and decided to keep it and see how it goes.


    Now as far as unpopular opinions go I actually like the DC over the CM.

    Trying to read through a thread on suspension modifications, and two pages worth is "what tires and wheels are those" and "do they rub"?

    This is 100% true. That said, it absolutely boggles my mind how much money people spend merely to make shit look cool. Whatever floats your boat.

    If you’re asking me. The tires are 37x12.5R18 BFG KM3S and the wheels are RAYS wheels 57Trans-X 18x9 and +25 offset in matte bronze. The wheels are $455 each and come from Japan. But are super lite. 439FABEA-22A9-4B1B-AC50-160EC9ADC000.jpg

    I agree with all that except I don't know how to shift with three on the tree so if my dream of a new halfton with a manual transmission ever comes true, it will have to be a floor shifter.

    But MGM is definitely the best colour.


    I drink IPAs just because I don't like anything else. I wish other beers didn't taste bad to me or make me feel sick but there it is. Now how do I find these places you're going with all the IPAs?

    Go to Sweden. Except there it's not an "I-P-A" it's an "eepa"

    But even here in Utah most places have several IPAs and only a few other options, if any. I feel like IPA is what you get when you don't know what to get.
