Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Did you remove the bumper to paint it? I've been thinking about paint my chrome bumper black.

 

I really like the chrome grill on the black truck it seem like it works perfectly

 

Chrome contrasts well with the black. Kind of like how black accents contrast well on the white trucks.

 

Here is my truck

 

What running boards are those?

 

I don't mind chrome like some of the younger generation abhors it. But of all the things on my truck, the grille is the one thing I didn't like. Just makes the grille look way too huge in proportion with the rest of the truck. I swapped it out for an SR grill with matching black surround. Really puts the truck back in proper proportion by making the grille blend in and not stand out so much. Of course, having different looking trucks is cool and nobody's opinion is better than another's (except ours is better than the haters from the 2nd gen, haha).

 

Sounds like it looks sharp! Can't wait to see pictures of it

 

Does anyone have photos of a black tacoma with the oem toyota roof rack? I had one on my 15 liked how it looked not that it was very heavy duty.

 

I just got the OEM roof rack put on last weekend. I plan to post pics to this thread tomorrow.

 

Showing my age,, I grew in in the "chrome age". I'm thinking about chrome wheels on her , miss my Cragar SS's !!
Can't said I don't like the black-out look ..it just doesn't get me.... Like chrome does.

My Katzkin installer texted me this tease .... Now this gets me ....really excited...

 

As promised upthread, finally posting pics of mine. Took delivery Christmas Eve. Just swapped out the grille and had the roof rack, OEM tube steps and roof rack installed. Few other minor goodies: chrome exhaust tip, TRD Sport hitch cover, OEM mud flaps with 4X4 emblems, TRD emblem on the dash and USAF Retired plates.

 

Here is mine. I just got it on Friday.

 

Black trucks rule

 

The TRD hitch cover is nice... Where you buy that... Damn that grille look good too

 

Yeah, I think that grille is a big improvement, blends in with the truck more and doesn't make the grill look so huge.

I got that hitch over on Amazon. Be prepared to choke a little when you see the price. I figure for something so prominent to anyone looking at the truck from the back, it's worth it.

That is a little pricey... Will check the dealer first to see if I can get cheaper.

 

Not sure if that's an OEM part you're going to find in the dealership's parts inventory.

 

Not to mention I'd expect the dealer to mark accessories up more. I prefer the basic black plastic/rubber OEM cover, but I feel it would get stolen way to easily.
