that looks pretty close to mine when its clean but its starten to fad.

that 4runner would look cool with that tan on it

Im going with all black

If you are looking to rattle can it get some rustoleum in the color of Sand, its a little darker i think.

I have an 82 same color as yours and I am going to paint it Landcruiser dune biege code #416
The colors are similar and I can get away with using that color and it blending with the door and engine bay.

the only problem with john deer green is cle elum is a small town and its pretty unique
