Anyone here have this unique colored 4Runner?

I've seen this color before, but I didn't realized it was offered on the newer 3rd Gens. (Guess I forgot since I don't see this color very often.) It's unique to say the least. I saw it this morning in the parking lot for the first time and snapped a quick picture w/ my cell phone.

Anyone here have this color combo on a lifted, locked & sitting on 33"s 4Runner?

To each there own. But that's as bad as the "SeaFoam Green" Tacomas they offered several years ago. *shudder*

You're right...to each his own, no doubt!

That's almost as bad as the baby blue Tacoma I had. I never liked the color but they practically gave me the thing, my friends made fun of me to no end. When I hit a tree I made sure to replace it with a manly forest green.

FWIW, a JDM afficianado might be excited to see a 4Runner in that color here in the states. It seems that the Hilux Surf in Japan came in more pastel type colors (mint or seafoam green, baby blue, etc). I bet if you threw some Hilux Surf emblems on that, got a Japanese license plate, a front fender mirror and some amber sidemarkers on the fenders, you'd take 1st place in the street SUV class at the next JDM car show But for the record, I would not be caught driving a 4Runner in that color.

That reminds me of a pastel salmon colored Taco that was on one of the used lot's here a couple of years ago. That thing sat on the lot for at least 18 months until they basically gave it away.

Wow, that's a pretty rare color indeed.....Glacier Metallic and that was only offered in 2001. (Autumn Blaze Metallic is another rare one you don't see very often) Not exactly my cup of tea, but still a good color for some soccer mom out there somewhere.

Here's the colors by year:

Would fit in in the bahama's or Hawaii or somewhere REALLY colorful and tropical

would be completely out of place here (though I've seen that color on vehicles before).

could be worse.

I've seen that color 4runner before. It'll perfect with a pink t-shirt.

Hate it, but I'd drive it just to make other people puke.
