Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

Haven't heard if Toyota Tax before :P

I see more F150's as mall crawlers and drive arounds. Tundra's aren't particularly frugal on fuel. But it's the common view on trucks that American trucks are real work trucks and Jap trucks are weak sauce.

F150 is the most popular truck, unfortunately. Would rather do heads on a chevy 6.0 than do spark plugs on a 5.3 3v. Ford still can't make an exhaust manifold that can last in a non salt region either. Haven't seen much of the 5.0 coyote motors.

@terrytek Which would you prefer, the gold/bronze-ish TSW Nurburgrings or the black ones? Reddish orange car color.

i think black would look best. contrasting dark rims with light body job.

 

Don't like them. Big noise makers that can't do much work. Tacoma is good, especially first gen non prerunner. But I'd rather have a S10 for a mini truck. Much cheaper and they can haul some things. 

but you forgot the toyota hilux. :/ those things are indestructible, the ones with the 22re engine. the v6 was trash.

Well, it's more of a dark reddish-orange.

22-RE was good. I like the xRZ-FE engines better.

Oh I know that either color will look good and match. It's just which I'd rather stick with in the end.

But i know for a fact the 22RE was indestructible. You could do all sorts of damage to it and it would still run.

Then it's up to your opinion.

@AlwaysFSX if it were me, i'd go bronze because black is always used for aftermarket rims and it gives a degree of uniqueness. not much, but a little.

I know, but all of your guy's opinions are still valid. Someone might point something out to me that I didn't realize.

Actually nurburgs look really really good on that body.

-snips-

Imo the Cobra's front bumper doesn't go well with the wheels, or wheels with the bumper. I dunno. Seems strange having something so bulbous and then spindly wheels.

well it looked pretty impossible to fit 18 inch TRD black 5 spoke rims with zero camber in the wheel arches.

I'd assume strange, doesn't match the styling of them.
