Jason, can you get the front plate that replaces our license plate? If so, how much shipped to 91201?

Thanks.

They don't make that. That was made special for the Jaos Japan demo truck only.

BUT, look closely on the right tail light, to the left of it... Do you see something interesting?

That now sorta looks like a cross between a 3rd Gen and an early 4th gen (03-05). What do you guys think?

the new headlights and taillights are a huge improvement...

i dont like the lights in the bumper.. theyre useless and i think they take away from the overall look of the truck.

that one in particular just has too much crap on it, but its a cool show truck.

put on black mud flaps, and powdercoat the chrome jaos pieces black,, and remove the wings, and then it would be pretty nice.

it's a back up mirror/blind spot mirror .... it's good for backing up and viewing the side of the truck.

that one looks stupid ... In the caribean I had one on my corolla and it had a better mount flowed with the lines of the car. It was very useful. The ones on the soarers and skylines look sweet.
On my girl's 540i, the mirrors shift down when you put the car in reverse. It's great for parallel parking, but it sucks when your just trying to back up.

It's a Jaos show vehicle in Japan, a rolling billboard, so they don't want to hide any of their products. They come in many other colors.

Ok.. gotta say.. I agree with most comments here especially this one.. if you take out the pimped out add on's except for the wheel fenders.. that would looks sweet... the rounder wheel fenders makes it looks more of a 3rd generation.. which to my opinion looks so much sweeter. The octangular shape of the new 4runner was one thing I didn't particularily care for.. but if I own a 4th gen 4run's, I would definitely get this wheel fender.. and the headlight and taillight...

my .02 cent

Thumbs down Thumbs WAY down



IMHO, that truck is gay... well, the truck itself isn't gay, just the accessories. I think it has WAY too much stuff on it.

The ONLY thing even remotely cool is the "armor" under the bumpers on the last 2 photos.

And one other thing... why does JAOS insist on using a kangaroo for their logo? Are there lots of kangaroos hopping around Japan that I don't know about? That's like Aussie Lockers using a Sumo Wrestler or a ninja as their logo. One of those things to make you go hmmm...
