I have been playing with this idea in my head for awhile, so I just whipped up a quick sloppy rendition of what it might look like.

I've never seen a 2nd gen like this, the more I stare at it, the more I like it. Anyone else?

 

ehhhh i don't care for it, but thats just me.

 

Same here..

Then again I am not one of those "black out everything" board members...

 

yeah, i really like my chrome, but of course i have a white 4Runner, so it really compliments each other.

 

I think it looks nice all colored out, but it makes it look older, I'd leave it chrome but that's just me

 

I like the way your truck looks...the pic you made looks like it is related to Barney.

Keep your rig the way it is... It had the right amount of chrome. not too much.

 

Keep the chrome...Why do you want to change the look of you rig,I personally believe its the best looking on this board.

 

I think it looks great the way it is, but if it were mine and I was gonna do something with the chrome, I'd try black...

 

Black wheels and you're set.

Don't listen to all these haters!

 

I'm not a fan of chrome anyway you blingers so I definitely like it! DO IT!

 

No chrome, I think the pic looks good

 

I like your truck to still have that original mostly stock appearance plus there are getting to be less and less nice looking 2nd gens so you need to....

......REPRESENT,YO!!!

Your truck is too nice to paint over stuff,leave that to the guys that need a coverup.

 

I saw a heep yesterday that was almost the same color and he had painted the bumpers and stuff and it didn't look very good.

If I were you I'd try to do them black, I don't like the chrome either.

 

Hmm, maybe just paint some of the chrome instead of all?

I'm not one for the straight up black out either BUT I think it looks pretty good.

 

Paint the chrome black instead. That would look pimp.

 

I thought that was gonna look like when i read the title. But it actually didn't look bad at all. Not sure if I'd take that over chrome though. Those 2nd Gens look great when they're shined up with the chrome reflecting. Bling bling!

 

The whole black thing was cool....when only a few people had it. I think you need to leave the chrome.

 

scofco,

i say "no". looks like a kid's toy.

Well, I've opted against it, thanks for setting me straight. I think I'd rather put the money towards a locker instead. The black bumpers look kind of snazzy, but I still don't think I'll go for it.

The reason I started thinking, is because my rear bumper is starting to rust badly in spots. How much would rechroming it run as a ballpark figure?
