You can't do it evergreen pearl. I want the only evergreen pearl with a sport hood!

What are your top the color choices?

I couldn't pick between that and white so I let my 3 year old son pick. He chose green.

It was a toss up between this:




and this...



I'm 75% sure I'm going with green...

Fwiw, I like the green

 

[Scramble]

Good! Go with the green. This way I'll have the only Burnt Orange 4Runner. :trophy:

 

[Bandit Runner]

Mean green must stay green!

Your truck is burnt orange?? When did this happen? I must see this!

 

[fightman80]

Also, for all those concerned... I'm going to get it resprayed in green.

 

[Road Bull]

I can see why you would be tempted by that shiny red/orange, but but from how fondly you talk about the green, I think you would be disappointed if you went with anything else.

Or hey!! Just buy a second runner and paint it red! Problem solved. I should do consultant work.

 

[fightman80]

You sir, are a very bad influence! lol!

Not yet, someday.

 

[fightman80]

Well then.... anxious to see what it will look like man!

Sounds like it's about to be on like donkey kong. Who's gonna do it first & who's gonna wear it better....

Loser pay's for the other's paint job?

 

[fightman80]

So, I haven't been very active on this site in a long time, mostly because I've come to a point with the truck, where I'm truly happy with what I've done to it.

Ha ha! Eating my words!!! lol! You guys sucked me back:banana: in!

More Goodies for Mean Green

Nothing quite says love quite like a table saw....ound:

 

[fightman80]

The saw was bought 2 years ago.... to help fix the house.

 

[fightman80]

What would you do?

So, I have a line on a 99 V6 5speed, which apparently has a good hatch, good doors, and fenders.... and a beige interior.

I'm thinking of snagging it, as it's the same price as I would pay for just a hatch, and I'd be getting all kinds of parts with it. Also... considering putting the 5speed in my truck... but it has 400, 000kms on it.

What do you guys think? Rebuild the tranny, put it into my truck, and use it as a parts truck? Or just get a hatch?

As these trucks become older, it's going to be harder to find parts for them... and as always, I'm thinking long term.

 

[LittleCaesar]

No pics? In America, if one has a line on an auto, there are pics and plenty of them. Sounds good though, for the right Canadian price.

I'd buy it just on the fact that it will far outlast the Saturn, which, when it dies, won't be worth fixing.

 

[fightman80]

I like the way you think LittleCaesar... I may very well be buying it... still trying to get some decent pics of the truck. The guy only posted one on this ad.

He's been kinda difficult to communicate with... hoping to be able to buy it, and then pick it up in the next week or two.

 

[GetZPayd]

I'm here!...I have some catching up to do

:focus:

 

[JBurt]

I realized I never posted pics of my paint job here. I went with single stage evergreen pearl and it's darker than I thought it would be and it's not quite the factory color, but I'm very pleased.

I can't post pics right now because photobucket is down, but here is a link to my google album.

I think I also painted my wheels like you did yours.
