Merlin's new to upgrading and having fun doing it thread

[ChildrenOfBodom]

Moved to 3rd gen section.

Merlin seeing all the work that you have done you have definitely inspired me to make changes to my 96. This is the best part of getting a new car. It's making it your own keep up the awesome work.

That brush guard would make baby Jesus cry. It's in the Geneva Convention, look it up.

I'm so lost as to what your trying to do with colors, never been big on accents but they can look good once in a while, and when they do its all the same color... So confused by the green red blue and black...

Thanks for moving it COB. Just thought the 3rd Gen guys would appreciate the craftsmanship and well thought-out mods. No need to thank me. I'm a giver. It's what I do... :hand:

 

[merlin12]

flat or gloss?

what do you guys think, flat or gloss black rims?

i am thinking i might go with the gloss.

thanks, i am new to forms and just started as a new member and went with that and did not know how to change it.

The red, the blue, the green, the black. It's really starting to come together. Although I don't think this section is the right one for ur build thread. Maybe [MENTION=25058]ChildrenOfBodom[/MENTION] or @SVDude can move this to the 3rd gen section where it belongs.


Please... :scared:

i know, its a little funny now but i am going to be changing all the green to... something that's not green and for the red and blue, i just could not make up my mind on what color i was going to focus on so i just did both until i decide what one i like better but i am leaning to different blue colores.

You know when I saw ur name was Merlin I assumed u were named after the great football player Merlin Olsen. But now, after seeing this 4runner, I know u were named after Merlin the Magician. Because that thing is MAGICAL!!!

i am, i am just trying to decide on what color it is going to be maybe blue... or i don't know yet.

 

[Majindan]

Satin black would look best IMO, if you can't deal with black at least do gunmetal.

 

[T4R2014]

I'm thinking neon green. :thumb3: But satin black is a great idea.

I'd lose the brush guard since it's just distracting since it's made for such a wider truck and looks out of place. Like clown shoes on a size 9 foot.

 

[merlin12]

no more green

i got rid of the green on my 4runner, i removed the green shield on my window and the back fin is not green but now blue... and red... and a little silver.
i bet most of you guys will hate this but here it is.

 

[hour]

Well... I mean... excellent job on making the truck look how you want it to. You've obviously put a lot of time in to it and are committed... painting things to see how they look, knowing that you'll have to do it all over again when you decide on a color... that's more than I'm willing to do. Everything needing painting on my truck minus the body is getting a nice coat of black arty:

That red bird on the blue... with the two Fu Manchu mustaches / death scythes though...

 

[Quatre Coureur]

You know I'm a bit sad I asked COB to move this to the 3rd Gen section... I'm missing out on Merlin's magic. Glad to see it moving in a sensible direction. :smash:
