Desert Dune pics request...

Im looking at one, but it looks purpley?? Can someone post a couple of pics of theirs...the ones the guy is sending me hopefully arent doing it justice. Inside is great, but the exterior looks like a purple grey. He says it isnt, but I need a little more than that to buy it sight unseen.

Look at the pics on Schaefer's site. His 4Runner is the Desert Dune Metallic you are looking for.

The top can look white and the flares can look silver in certain light, see below for this:



In some light, it looks ALL THE SAME COLOR:





Again, depending on lighting, it can even look white:



The Desert Dune Pearl finish makes the 4Runner a chameleon -- at times it appears to look white or silvery -- depending on the lighting.

Looks like the purple was from an overcast day not the actual color of the vehicle.

po boy,

it seems that you've gotten plenty of responses but here's a pic from my xterra step tube mod that clearly shows the difference between the desert dune paint and silver (step tubes):
