Seriously, it looks like my 82 Hilux that I was always scraping and "rattle canning". I could never find the exact match, so I quit trying. It ended up looking like "clown face camo..."

I'm going to go strip a couple of stickers off of my rig now because of this thread.
I have about 6 small ones in a cluster in the corner of my rear window, and 2 on the fairing.
Even that is too ricey for me

Personally....
I think its ok to have stickers. Don't let these street queens get to you
haha, just kidding. Most of the time, I would agree with them but your truck is pretty aggressively modded so I don't think some decals would look bad. I did think the first pic you posted was... well... overkill but some decals really accent the vehicle. Personally... I think the "Rock Ready" pictures are a bit much... that is race car placement, and well... that one is obvious. I think if your going to do a big decal, it should be on the hood. You already have the bars covering it, so there is already something going on there, it just can't be too busy. I'm a fan of smaller decals, with a couple big ones that really have meaning. I'm the coordinator of the North Carolina chapter of 4Roc and I'm all about promoting the club so I don't mind rocking a ridiculous decal. Its for a good cause! As for the rest of them, I like to keep them under 8" and usually about 5". Don't let these city boys chase you a way TOO much...
I'll snap some pics of my newest stickers tomorrow when its light out. One, I think people will get a kick out of, and then say wow... I'd never put it on my rig. But, then again you don't live in savannah. But that will have to wait til tomorrow.
Oh, and one more thing. The problem I have with the TRD decal is that its not authentic. It looks re-produced and if you could get your hands on something more like the OEM one, it would look 500x better

Thanks for all the advise guys. Im going to have to re-think the sticker plan.
The TRD stickers I can get look just like the OEM ones, Only my Photo shop skills suck.
Im going to have to think long and hard about this one I guess.
Anyone have toyota outline front shot that I could for the club logo ?

Listen man, your truck has tons of potential, I actually like it alot. My advice to you is take off every single decal and put your stock lenses back in all of your lights. Then go into bathroom, sit down on your toilet and get all of the rice out of your system. When you go back outside you will see that you actually have a great lookin' rig after all. By the way painting your rims black looks good, I like the change. It looks great with all the other black on there. Sorry to harsh your import buzzz but ditch the decals dude, trust me

On the other hand, at least they aren't giant NASCAR stickers which often leads to painting huge numbers on your doors. We're just lucky to be Canadian, where this isn't as common of a problem as it is in some countries bellow us.

I would take every sticker off including the toyota logo that in the front. stickers to me just dont look right on a 4runner. Just put a yotatech sticker and be done with it. Invest the time and money into more functionality and less showiness.

I think the TRD sticker, where you have it, only a little smaller, and the website on the tailgate, where you have it, would look great! Then maybe put small decals of your off road club on the lower portion of the back half of the rear window.
