    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I like the darker purple (grape). I would have bought it it if was an option for my truck, definitely. Very nice. Me likes

    Glad you resurrected this thread. I'm the third owner of my truck and I'm friends with the first two owners. During the second owners time with the truck, people started giving him crap that he owned a purple truck. In the right light, it really does look purple, and some of the paint under the hood looks especially purple.

    It only started taking on that hue at 10+ years old. In this photo it looks like the original color, but in some types of light it looks pretty purple. I'm ok with it. When I notice women check it out I just tell myself they're looking at me. :D

    My buddy has one of these, and almost 30 years later, it’s purple.

    I remember that desert mica color for the third generation 4runners, which started to turn pink as the vehicles faded in the sun.

    Few as possible, I really enjoy stock Tacoma's! Except small things, and maybe someday a supercharger.
    Got the same color on my 99 sr5, can't begin to tell you how many compliments I get on it. And yeah, factory color. rare, I think you needed to order it, doubt it ever came as a standard color from the factory.
