    This was a recent discussion between the GF and I. She thinks the storm trooper look is very bro and I think any sort of roof rack or shell makes it outdoorsy...
    Post pics of your rig and what you'd say it is.

    I think you need to realize, the "bro movement", is typically a California thing. You call someone a "bro" or "bro ho" outside of California, and you're sure to get a weird look.

    As long as you don't have rockstar rims, monster stickers, and an overcompensating lift where you need a ladder to get in the truck, your Tacoma will fit in the outdoorsy category IMO.

    If you aspire for the Bro look, be sure to grab a pair of truck nuts and wear your favorite affliction shirt.

    Now this guy just needs to find a creative way to fit "Hung Like a Parakeet" on his license plate and he will be set.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    This is a bro truck I saw on the interstate a few years back, think I threw up in my mouth a little. What a waste of a 4x4! There are x-runners for this shit.

    Bro trucks are characterized by having a lift with large tires and mirrors that stick out too far for no reason other than to attain the bro-therhood look. These trucks never go off road.

    Here is my stormtrooper Baja all Bro'd out. And the broing of the Tacoma is certainly not just a CA thing, I seem them EVERYWHERE in ID, MT, and ND, except the woods and in the dirt.
