    I've got a 1988 Toyota Pickup that I want to fix up and I'm bout to get a paint job next week of hunter green with a gloss!! I will eventually be getting just a small 3" lift and some Super Swampers after I get my wheels...Question is do I get Black Accessories or Chrome...(tool box, sliders/steprails, bed rails, light bar, and changing my bumpers out also...Also, ya'll can help me build my truck...I'll be doing this piece by piece so if you see any cool parts or already know of some, let me know and I'll check em out!!

    I'd go with black, but it's a person preference.

    You know what I am going to say....LOL. Check out some of the others members green Taco's with all black. Looks nice. I am doing a color change to my Taco in a few months, I am going with hunter green myself, OR charcoal gray...

    Alright so this has confirmed that black is the best way to go!! I've always wants a hunter green lifted pickup with black accessories!! Any suggestions on what accessories to add to make it look just right? I mean bed bars in the back with lights on them or a black low profile toolbox?
