I was wondering if any one had pics of 3rd gen. 4Runners with grills that are body color painted (the newer ones came with these). I have a 1999 and it has a chrome grill which id like to replace with a newer factory body color painted one. Post pics of your grill if it is like that, here is what mine looks like now:

Hey thanks alot man, i have PhotoShop 7.0 and have tried doing that to a couple of my pics and it always came out looking like just black. But that one is really well done. Thanks again :D
 
Tricks of the trade ;)

Use the eyedropper to get a close match on color, then use the brush tool to paint. I set the opacity around 80% and set the mode to multiply.

Just incase you want to do a similar task in the future.
 
You didn't happen to ever get rid of your original '99 grille did you? I have a '97 and kind of want to update to your style, with the extra chrome. Just wondering if you were looking to sell it.
Thanks!
 
Yea, I did that on my 97, upgraded to the 99-00 style chrome grille.

Nothing really, just the grille. When I replaced my headlamps with the multireflector '01 style, I had to remove the grill. I don't remember the specifics, but it didn't require anything more than some screws/bolts. It was more simple than I expected. One big piece, I took the opportunity to clean it really thoroughly while it was off my truck.

What all parts needed to be replaced to change out the grill?

You will need to buy a new emblem, in addition to the grille. The newer grille has a bigger over and bigger Toyota emblem to fit it. Emblem is around $20, grille, $120.
 
THANKS, SO MY CURRENT 97 HEADLIGHTS WILL STILL WORK? I JUST NEED THE GRILL AND EMBLEM, CORRECT? I MIGHT LOOK AROUND AND TRY TO FIND A USED ONE.
 
I don't think they are using actual TOYOTA parts. If you look, they show their own part #, which is different from the Toyota part #.
 
THANKS, JASON I JUST ADDED SILVERSTAR BULBS TO MY HEADLIGHTS, I AM WANTING TO GO WITH CLEAR BUMBER LIGHTS, YOU SELL FOR 49.99 SET, NOW DO YOU CARRY THE PIAA BULBS FOR THE BUMBER? I AM PLANNING ON ORDERING SOME ITEMS FROM YOU, BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS (I AM SPENDING MY 4R FUND ON OTHER PEOPLE:) ).
 
I have seen all black 3rd gen 4r's and I really like the look. I think that it's a sport edition but I'm not sure.. I'd like to add a hood scoop and get eveyhting chrome painted black.. Do you guys know what I am talking abuot? Anyone have any pic's of the 4R I have in mind? I really like your bug guard JasonB!!!
 
Thanks. I have that bug shield in black now. The carbon style was discontinued.

I do have a carbon filber hood with the scoop that avail. It's a copy of the toyota hood, but is much lighter, and has less parts you need to buy. You can also paint it as well.
