Last time I checked, this was America. I am free to create threads anywhere on the interwebs, and if I feel like making a thread regarding random parking spots [at] school here on T4R's 3rd gen forum then I will. Unlike you, I don't have time to browse through multiple toyota-related websites. Plus, this website was the first result I came across on Google and I've stuck with it ever since. So as a response to your suggestion, I respectfully DECLINE your offer to create a duplicate thread of this on another website. Thanks for the bump though (2x?)
@4runspot - Gorgeous 4R! Although I do must admit that I am not a huge fan of excessive bumper stickers on the back...I would maybe have two to three stickers at the most on my vehicle, any more than that would be considered excessive in my books! Nonetheless, your 4R looks beastly with its flex!
@jham - YAH BRO, LIVE LIFE MANNNNNN. "Rules were made to be broken." Fortunately though, we live in a society where one's opinion can be respected but can also be completely disregarded as this is a free society we all live in. Well I think you're a tool for erring on the safe/lawful side all the time. That's just me though, but hey it's not like you're going to take my statement to heart right?
@SantaCruz - Gorgeous 4R! I have a 4th gen now, but I've always like salsa red...have you ever considered painting your fenders salsa red to match with the body paint? As for your rims, they are just dirty right? I've seen some 4Runners that unfortunately had rusted rims (it looked really ugly on them) and your back right rim looks like it's rusted but it could be dirty due to the mud being dried on it.
BUMP.

Yea i have thought of painting the side panals, but im not 100% sure on how to do it yet. And yes that is just mud on my rims cause we just got back from the trails!
These are my rims all clean.

Gosh, your rims really do look sexy when clean! Have you ever considered having a professional paint your fenders? You can always head down to your local Toyota dealership and ask to speak with a mechanic regarding taking down the fenders. I'm not sure about your year, but for my old '99 4R I took the running board off my 4R and they were bolted. It might be the same concept with fenders. Have you tried using google to search for threads regarding painting fenders for your year?
Edit: just looked at the middle fender on your 4R, I definitely would have no idea where to begin when figuring out how to take it apart haha. If you do end up getting them painted though, take pics!

No one in a state of mental sanity would take that statement to heart. In fact, it may even come back to bite you.

I don't think you're getting my point here. I was mocking you hence the smiley face at the end of my previous statement. :hello: :hello: :hello:
@SantaCruzRunner - So sorry for getting back to you really late; but I checked out that thread. That looks like a great way to save money and do the mod yourself! The only thing I'm concerned about is the paint degrading over time (i.e the color begins to change two years later, etc). However I'm not sure the cost of per can to reach your goal, but I am sure it is fairly cheap. If I were you, I would do the mod anyway just for the hell of it and have fun doing it
. Let me know if you end up taking on this mod! I'm very interested to see how it turns out for a Salsa Red 4Runner !BUMP

Im on the fence right now between the bed liner or getting the salsa red from the dealer and color matching it. What do you think?

I wouldn't man..... you have a sweet looking rig.....

how about color matching it?
Anonymous4Runner

It would be a tough decision. I would have definitely gone with a black theme but matching colors would definitely be sweet too. The thing is, I'm not too sure but factory salsa red paint might be too expensive if you bought some from the dealership. I think it's good for you to change colors on that fender because silver fender (on the back of the 4R, not sure the name of it) + gray fenders + salsa red body color + black front fender looks weird
If I had to choose though, I would definitely match the fender color with the body paint so that way your color themes of silver fender + salsa red fender/body + black fender in front can stand out well But hey, it's your $! Hopefully you will be able to decide soon, I'm excited to see your plans for the 4R

Sick rig BRAHHHHHHHHHH. If I saw a 4R like that, I would have probably left a note on your windshield complimenting you on how fine your 4R looked
