    Good looking Tacoma but the headlights need to go..need to consider a retro fit..I know it can be expensive but buy the parts little at a time.. Great rims though..u got the specs?

    what is in the Rod for an engine? Looks like those headers are wide open but you must have some kind of exhaust there, we just can't see it in the pics? WAY cool BTW

    That RAT ROD looks sick as hell with the all black theme and white wall tires. The shit must suck to drive as I remember watching a video on how shitty it drives. However the looks you get makes up for it!

    Nice Rat Rod. If only you can ditch the ugly headlights on the Taco. You'd make the Rat Rod jealous of your Rig. ​
