    Hey Gents-

    I'm new here over from T4R to get in on the group buy. I've been really going back and forth on what color to get here and I just don't know what to do. I could really use some opinions. I've been soliciting them on other sites, but I really want to get this right the first time and I know a lot of you have them.

    First off, they will be mounted on the side of the roof rack on the 4runner. The truck is garage-kept, but it is in FL so they will see a lot of sun (fading might be an issue?). My 4runner is Army Green, with the obvious red TRD accents on the skidplate, the wheel centercaps, etc.

    A gent on another site was gracious enough to photoshop some of the options onto a truck that looks like mine. Basically, I've narrowed it to four colors: Orange, OD Green, Black, and Red. I have some concerns about the black and the green, as far as actual use is concerned (seeing them in the dirt/mud, at night, etc.). I think the orange clashes a bit with the green like it might not on others. The red certainly goes with the accent color of the truck, but I'm concerned about them fading out to pink over time in FL.

    Anyone have any advice? I thought about ordering a combination (2 each). So like:
    2 Black, 2 Green
    2 Black, 2 Red
    2 Green, 2 Red

    I'm not sure that really makes any sense at all, other than to be able to swap which is facing outward on the truck and to have the flexibility of using a brighter color like red if it becomes important in the dirt.

    Obviously the group buy ends sunday night, so I need to make up my mind fast on this. Any input is welcome and appreciated.

    Personally I think the bright colors look the best but say “STEAL ME”
    If you had to pick one, red matches your T4R pretty well.

    I’d go black if it were me. Yeah they might be tough to see buried in mud, but tie on some long ratchet straps and you’ve got them on a leash for when they get buried.

    Haha I've got a more than 99, I can tell you that. But this isn't one that I'd trade away.

    Nice looking truck, btw

    Might be too late, if you haven’t gotten in by now.

    I got in on it, and I have the stuff I need to put the order in. But I can’t make up my mind on the color

    I haven’t. The email I got specifically stated it would close at Midnight Sunday. But if they put a limit on how much they were selling and it’s reached it, that’s pretty stupid. My order was north of $700

    EDIT: Just tried, you’re right. That’s really dumb
