Good looking truck dude! Sometimes I wish if i should of waited out to find an all black SE like yours! I see you had a Z before, I had one too and miss the hell out of it. T4R is definitely more useful though.

mate,

where did you pick up the Nokya Yellow Fog Lights from?

eBay, after reading all the lexus IS forums...I took a stab, so far so good.

Damn dude your in-dash Garmin is a lot nicer than the 5th Gen's built in nav (seriously) :driving:

Thanks! BTW it is a TOM TOM

Wow, you have fresh paint on that? It looks great.

Thanks- as far as I know original paint, paint on hood has a number of blemishes due to either bird poop or eggs.

looking good jada, I must say murdered out t4r would be pretty pimp... got into the t4r for the same reasons! lol good idea on ditching the brush guard

Its pretty black, I am debating whether or not to tint up the windows more up front because they are light. I am a State Farm Agent (very conservative) company, I don't know what my clients will think now. Maybe its time to buy a used prius on the side...lol

looking good my man looking good

Thanks man- took me 8 months to find one that was black, 4x4, sport ed, descent miles, and I lucked out with original owner. Z's are the best, I miss the purr of the engine.

Thanks everyone for the love. My girlfriend gets back into the US this Saturday...she is either going to like it or think I am some "bro" from riverside. hahahaha

 

[JadatheRottweiler]

Need some opinions

Got the yakima basketcase rack for free from a friend....do I keep it on?

It did come in handy in the last camping trip, however I do not plan to use it often. What do you think?

Looks like a shopping cart according the the ol lady.

 

[racerunner]

Nice ride:thumb3::thumb3:

 

[kruegs]

I vote leave it. If you don't, sell it to me. LOL

 

[chitown40]

Lose the rack until you need to actually put something in it. Saves a buck or two with the MPGs.

Nice looking T4R!

 

[fastball25]

Looking good! What size Konig's and Revo's are u running?

 

[BrianSD_42]

Matte Black Vinyl Wrap

I would stick with the factory gloss. The black looks really good.

Did you have the fender flares painted to match the body? I think they don't come that way stock. Mine were gray and some people have tan. I had mine painted a few months ago.

It's a Sport Edition, so factory color matched.

OP that is one sweet 4runner. I really wish I could have found a black highlander/sport. I get jealous every time I drive by one.

I dont think its worth to sell and ship, maybe a local buyer...

Looking good! What size Konig's and Revo's are u running?

These konigs are the first gen that only came in 16s, I heard the new ones that will come out will be 17s. Revos are 285/75/16....they are rubbing a bit so I am either going to do some trimming or sell these tires. IMO the tires are too much for my needs/dd.

Yes you are right, sport ed are unique in that they do not have two tone color. Thanks for the compliments SCRunner, took me a while to find this bad boy and now I am very content.

Hey, I saw your truck today at the University Town Center! I go to UCIrvine and I knew that was yours as soon as I saw it. Looks way too clean in person!
