Its Brown Metallic and i Love it! What do you guys think?

 

Brown metallic. Close to factory color? More pics. Looks great

 

Thanks. Its a factory color (4B4) it was only offered in Canada in 1983 when they released the mojave edition.

 

looks good ..

to bad you couldnt get some Mojave stripes ....

 

MOjave stripes would be cool! Anyone have pics of one with stripes?

 

do a search on this board .. there was a fella from Toronto whom has one in absolutly perfect condition , he posted some pics in that thread .

 

Aren't "Mojave stripes" just a pair of gold pinstripes? Those could be easily replicated.

I have been wanting to do that exact same color for quite some time now, but on a second gen truck. Looks awesome!! Post some more pics once its all back together!!

 

no not really .. certinally not as pictured in that pic ..

the 4X4's had a "tribal art " decal down the sides , front to rear , about 6-8" wide .. there are also 2 tribal stripes dow the hood ..

I know I have pics , somewhere !!

slacker- If you could post pics of the mojave decals that would be sooo cool! I cant seem to find any. The post with the classic mojave you mentioned is x'ed out

 

I bet that's what they looked like when they rolled onto the lot. And is that the factory brown? Mine was originally brown too I'd love to go back to that myself. The mojove edition is pretty killer..a sunroof? cool paint for sure

 

Yep thats the factory color (4b4). I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Now i just need to take care of it.

 

I found em !!! here ya go bro ..

I'm thinking mine is the same color.....?

 

Great looking truck! You really don't see to many brown paint jobs anymore, but I too have always liked the color. I do like the Mojave looke, but I think that the tribal design could use a more.. uh modern? look, but nothing too new, or it will not look right on the truck. I hope you have much better luck than I do. Every car i have painted or had painted has always been scratched or dented within the first month. It's like new paint is a summons for idiots to park near it and fling their car doors into the shiny new paint. Hope to see more on this truck and it's progress in the future.

 

Private message James Dean on the forums, he does toyota factory stripes, I know he doen't have that design but I bet he could make it if he saw the pictures above!

 

according to that ad from toyota that isnt an official mojave edition with all that pin stripping and toyota printed on the tailgate

 

actually it is .. just not in the USA (so it dosnt mean it isnt original)

as an eye witness (I Managed a dealer for 20 years) .. Mojave 's were only avaliable in the USA as 2WD's .. the rest of the world got the 4WD's .. here in Canada , we got both , this is EXACTLY how they were .. in fact .. the one pictured is propabaly the best example with less then 10K on it . it was stored for decades , and is absolutly original .
