Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Sweet ride, what size are your nittos?

 

That's more the issue for me is whether wasting $700 to replace is worth it. I'm leaning heavily towards no at the moment.

Thanks man, they're 285/70-17

 

Question for all of you in warmer climates. Yes, the black looks great but I'm curious how unbearably hot it gets in the summer and if you ever wish you had a lighter color. I'm in Augusta, GA and the heat and humidity here are just atrocious. It was 81 on Christmas Day....

 

I've had a black vehicle in the summer before, with temps in the 90s. The exterior may get hotter, but I don't feel like there was a noticeable difference with interior vs say a white vehicle. If the interior was black leather, than I'd see the issue haha.

 

I found where a guy that put thermometers in different color cars and found minimal temp difference inside. It's the surface temp that gets crazy hot. I think black leather would probably be the exception. I have black with black cloth interior in FL and so far so good but it hasn't been in the 90's yet.

 

I've had black leather twice, and a car with black cloth, and basically every surface was black plastic. That was rough haha. Car was green.

I still don't think there's a whole ton of difference, at least not enough to make you think it should affect your choice.

 

Thanks for the info! Was almost hoping somebody would say it was effing horrible so I could scratch that color off the list of possibilities. hahaha

 

I live near Charlotte NC, I have had 4 black vehicles over the years, my daughter has one now. Not an issue for us. Use a sun shade in the front window during August if needed.

 

Haha I hear ya. So many good colors. I chose black because I had a Tacoma a little over a year ago that was black, so it's kind of a throwback haha.

I had three back-up colors, quicksand, silver, and gray. Also like the blue and Barcelona red. Don't care for inferno, too flashy, and white seems boring to me.

 

Know this is a thread for black 2016s, but I've had my black PreRunner for 2 1/2 years and I live in central Texas where it's been known to get hot on occasion. Black was my first color choice and I don't regret it a bit. Down here air conditioner is our friend.

 

My other car is white, but with black leather and a metal shift knob. Guess how painfully hot the shift knob gets in the summer? If you guessed "hella" you'd be right.

 

I saw a Jeep that was Line-Xed. Looked sharp. The guy told me it beats waxing them.

 

I think I will change mirror backs to black. Just a little to much chrome.

 

Plasti dip? Vinyl wrap? Gonna do the bezel around the fogs?

 

Too much chrome is why I swapped the Limited Grill in.

 

How much is the limited grill? Do you have a part number? I searched but could only find SR.

My plan is to replace the chrome mirror cap with the body color replacment. I haven't decided on the fog light bezels.

 

Toytec fox ultimate its over 3k, how much do they charge for installation?
