Just picked up a new Tacoma and this is an awesome little upgrade! Great vid, im def gonna do this as well!

[@hkstrongside]

Congrats on the new Tacoma! You will love it!

[@pokebardunwoody8909]

Just put them on on my 18 Tacoma. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome! Cheers!

[@danielmcdevitt8708]

Great video- clearly explained and much appreciated

[@hkstrongside]

Thanks for the comment!

[@ericmcknight123]

Very helpful. I ordered the letters in red for my Tacoma which is sandstone in color. Thanks for the video.

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome! Glad I could help. Sandstone is an awesome color!

[@brianswitzer1957]

Nice 👍🏻 a lot easier to install than I thought ! Great idea and it looks great dude 👍🏻

[@hkstrongside]

Thanks man! Ya, super easy install and I think they really look awesome!

[@brianswitzer1957]

I got the camo one putting it on today 🤘🏻

[@thatoneguymoto]

Looks freakin’ good and I’d prefer the raised, as well. I’ve got a 22 year old Tacoma with 260K+ miles, so hope you get lots of years and fun out of yours. 🤓👍

[@hkstrongside]

I love them. I think they add so much. Tacos go for so long! That is awesome. 260k! I will probably have this for many years to come for sure. Unless I can't stand it and hit big on KZbin, then I am going with a Cyber Truck! ha ha!

[@JChurchua]

Purchased(sort of) a 2020 tacoma recently. Got the same ones on Amazon for the same price. Cant wait to get them installed on our Super White Taco Offroad.

[@hkstrongside]

That is going to look sick on white! Let me know how it goes!

[@AlanHarwood]

Nice truck, dude!

[@hkstrongside]

Thanks Alan! I hope all is well in your world!

[@edwardray2832]

Limited number of vids on this product, I have a 2020 Ranger (black) and I ordered the red lettering from Amazon. Dude, you made the install look easy, I was worried that you had to position each letter individually. Thanks!

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome dude, that will look great! Those Rangers are awesome. Ya man, it was super easy to install. Good luck!

[@j.main2380]

Looks awesome man just ordered white ones for black Tacoma

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome man. That is going to look sick!

[@breming1]

Love the truck and the video Bret! Keep em comin!

[@hkstrongside]

Thanks Bret, good to hear from you! I hope all is well!

[@dyates6380]

Nice job. Nice truck man.

[@hkstrongside]

Thanks dude. I want to do the suspension, and new rims and tires.

[@dyates6380]

@@hkstrongside I did the three inch lift, the 33 inch KO2's, and black Gear rims. Completely blacked out and rarely do I go a couple of days without comments from people. These trucks are unreal anyhow, but when you add things? Forget it. I know I'm biased, but I think they're the sharpest trucks on the road, and one of the most dependable.

[@lbbradley55]

Very good job I hope mine goes that well.

[@hkstrongside]

Thank you! Did you do your install? How did it go?

[@lbbradley55]

I have had my new TRD OFF ROAD TACOMA for idk 3 months now but haven't gotten to any of those things yet. Mine is the Magnetic Grey and I haven't made up my mind if or what color I want. There's a lot of accessories available that's for sure

[@jcooch7342]

Was this the matte black or gloss finish letters? Thanks for the video! Truck looks great!

[@hkstrongside]

The letters are a matte finish. Great question.

[@dyates6380]

I love these things. I have a black Tacoma and bought some inserts from Amazon a couple of years ago. The chrome ones. They were easy to instal and looked INCREDIBLE. However, after the first winter, they pitted and became discolored. I did read some reviews about how some people had that issue. It's not really noticeable unless you're fairly close to it. I'm assuming the only ones that this would happen to are the chrome ones.

[@hkstrongside]

Ya, that chrome on plastic doesn’t last. The black ones do bomber. I am going to post a follow up vid showing how they have lasted. Keep an eye out.

[@dyates6380]

@@hkstrongside I know man. I wish I could find the ones I saw Jesse instal, but Amazon doesn't have them anymore. It looked like the real cheap ones that just peeled off and weren't "raised". If I could feel confident about removing these and putting the black ones on, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thanks for the reply!

[@hkstrongside]

I finally have a link in the description!

[@mfalescoolidge]

Dang I just ordered the black with chrome outline 😢

[@mattgeiger9988]

I think it depends on the color of the truck, but with lighter colors it looks great

[@hkstrongside]

Agreed

[@Starman-yt8lj]

Looks great! 👍🏻 I’ve been thinking about doing this on my 2018. How are they holding up?

[@hkstrongside]

You should do it! I have been very happy with them. Holding up very well. Like new!

[@bigzeke7431]

The ones I bought were CNC machined and brushed aluminum. They didn't include the handy template though.

[@hkstrongside]

How did it turn out looking?

[@bigzeke7431]

@@hkstrongside Really good. Like factory

[@cbmathews0440]

Any update over time? Do you go off-road bump around get the truck dirty and are they holding up?

[@hkstrongside]

Still look as good as the day I put them on. I will try to get an update video out.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

I purchased the metal chrome raised letters sold by Toyota, they are OEM quality and fit perfect.

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome! They do so much for the aesthetic in my opinion. Cheers!

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Cool, next mod a "coexist" bumper sticker.

[@hkstrongside]

Ha ha... I will admit, it is a small mod. lol But hey, I have to start somewhere.

[@M.P.5.0]

Awesome job. Just got mine yesterday for my F-150. Just wondering, after 2 years that you did this video, how has the letters hold with rain, heat and going through car washes? Any signs of them peeling off at all? Thank you.

[@hkstrongside]

Awesome man. Good luck with your install. Ya, the letters are still going strong! No issues. I should do an update on that video. Thanks for the idea!

[@M.P.5.0]

HKStrongside Thanks. That would be awesome for others to see how everything is.

[@user-dq6fb9tp1n]

Where did you purchase your emblems my friend?

[@hkstrongside]

Amazon. I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@Oldcarnut63]

Amocat - Tacoma .

[@karlahc9437]

Great job, where can I buy this ones ! Thank you

[@hkstrongside]

Search for Eyecatcher Tacoma letters on Amazon. I hope to get a link up soon.

[@veronicaserrato9827]

Great video! Hi I want to get one for my Toyota Tundra but mine tundra is black what color should I get? Please help! Can you please sent me the link so I can order mine from amazon. Thank you 🙏

[@hkstrongside]

Hey, sorry I have been slow to respond. Was out of the country for a little bit. They make them in chrome, grey, red to name a few. Do you have chrome emblems? You could stick with that. If your truck is black, you could get the flat black. It would create a slight contrast from your gloss black paint. Could look cool. Or even a gray could look cool too.

[@veronicaserrato9827]

HKstrongside how about crome

[@hkstrongside]

@@veronicaserrato9827 Chrome would look really good, especially if all your other accents are chrome.

[@veronicaserrato9827]

HKstrongside thank you

[@lennylee6528]

Can someone please recommend Best color for my white 3rd gen Tacoma? Red? Or chrome? Thank you 🙏🏽

[@hkstrongside]

Do you have other red or chrome accents? I personally would think black would look super sick on a white Tacoma.

[@lennylee6528]

I have the red and black “TRD OFF ROAD 4X4” stickers on the back sides of bed 🙂

[@hkstrongside]

@@lennylee6528 Those are the stock stickers right? Personally man, I would go with black then.

Can you give the Amazon link to this exact product?

Where did you purchase this from?

I bought it on Amazon. There are several options. I will get a link up soon. Thanks!

Where can you order this tailgate vinyl?

[@hkstrongside]

I picked mine up on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JJ7HCE6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@veronicaserrato9827]

Hi does it have to be hot to install

[@hkstrongside]

I doubt the temperature will be as important as making sure the surface is clean. However, I imagine extremes in temperature either way could affect it. Good luck with your install!

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Now cover that ugly chrome V6 logo with black too 😅🔥🔥👍🏼

[@hkstrongside]

Good point. I need to do black out on all the badges.

[@thesauce4382]

Is it plastic or metal?

[@hkstrongside]

Hey, so it is like a PVC plastic. Super sturdy.

[@weeweed86]

How are they holding up 4 years later…?

[@hkstrongside]

Fantastic! No issues!

look nice bro... can u send me website..??

Picked it up here amzn.to/2TqQINY

[@MarkSven888]

I only put TACO on

[@hkstrongside]

I peeled the little Toyota sticker on the corner apart to say yota.. ha ha, does that count?

[@rexwiles9067]

Are they satan or gloss?

[@hkstrongside]

Great question. These are satin. But you can get gloss as well if that is what you prefer.

[@juliorosas-cortes424]

Link?

[@hkstrongside]

I finally have a link! It is now in the description.

[@jeremytovar352]

Can you remove these?

[@hkstrongside]

While I personally haven't removed mine, I imagine it would be similar to other badge removals. Take some dental floss and pull it through the adhesive to lift the letter. Then use decal adhesive remover to get the sticky crap off.

[@Shan.L]

Hi, bro. Greetings! Do you interested in our metal Tacoma tailgate ? We are going to take a video like this. If you interested, we can send you one. Pls pm me, bro. Thx

[@veronicaserrato9827]

Shan Mick I do ! 😁 But I have a Toyota Tundra.

[@eareeyesee3290]

I don't understand the obsession with why people have to put vinyl lettering on their F150's, Mustangs, Tacoma's etc. It looks way better left alone. From 10 feet away it used to look like thousands of dollars were spent on custom tooling dies to stamp 3D lettering in the sheet metal to give it some dimension to now looking like it has a $5 dollar sticker on a flat panel. Nice job!

[@hkstrongside]

I think one reason it is popular to do is it’s a very inexpensive way to personalize your truck. The raised letters inside the inset stamp also looks awesome imo, especially if you are going for a blackout look.

[@mikemike5422]

Looks good but...F*ck amazon!!!!
