What do you think of this modded 2nd gen 4Runner?

I always see this 4Runner in the church parking lot. It looks like it has a ton of mods. Besides the bling and the rear sag, it looks like a pretty sweet custom job. The CV angles even look good.

Any thoughts?

I think the chrome spare cover is a bit much.

Nice paint job, especially the matching cargo carrier. But a little too much chrome for me. Fix the rear sag already!

I agree, a bit too chromey. I like the way the paint theme is carried on to the carrier. Interesting grille/bumper.

Is this from North Phoenix? Have to keep my eyes out for it.

Looks like a nice, well thought out custom 4x4.

Not a hardcore rig by any means, but nice looking and well executed.

Get rid of the chrome tire cover and the grille guard and it would be fine. I like the big rack (who doesn't) with the cargo box. Hope it doesn't have sun roof. Then it would be like the Exterras and Frontiers that have a moon roof under a cargo rack. Pretty stupid since they come from the factory that way.

I like it, looks unusual. Lots of work went into it. I'm thinking the spare is probably chrome on the outer ring only..thats what I usually see.

Not bad but I agree with the "too much chrome" opinions.
