Lunar Rock Gen III Thread

I bought a MGM Rav 4 in 2019.
Avoided lunar rock at that time because I didn’t enjoy the color in any photos that I saw.
But every time I see them out in the wild, I always do double takes. I do feel like it shifts color accents between the green and gray and catches my eye every time. My wife and I always call them out to each other when we spot one out and about.

 

Just got my very first Tacoma this weekend. Loving the color. I had another vehicle I was considering wrapping, and i was wanting a color that would blend in almost like camo without being camo. This color nails it. It different light, it goes from sage green, to blue-green, to mint green, to almost cement in the dark. I was apprehensive about the color when I first saw it, but I really love it now.

My wife’s Rav is this color. Thought I’d hate it cuz I love my cement gray taco but it’s grown on me!

 

There is a color paint we had in the Army for painting the interior of certain armored vehicles called "Seafoam Green". Looked very close to this, although a bit lighter. I think this should be renamed "Seamint"

 

Ha, it fits!

 

Do you mind me asking what side rails/bars those are? They look awesome and wondering is that a port installed option or does it state manufacturer on your sticker?

 

Toyota offers them now

 

What are they?

 

Build the truck on Toyota.com

 

They're the factory Toyota rails. Port installed, if memory serves. I'm in Texas, and I believe all of our options here are done in Houston; after the truck is finished in San Antonio.

Only for select regions, I believe SET port installed option.

 

Thanks how much were they on the sticker? They don't have that listed as an accessory up here in the Northwest.

 

Looks like an attempt to make a slider, but they don't look like they would hold much weight

 

Yep they look like NFAB Rock Rails almost exactly. I wouldn't use them as true sliders, but good for rocker panel protection to some extent.

 

Yup

 

I think the color looks best in low light. I ask people all the time if they like Lunar Rock. I haven't gotten any hard Nos. Then I ask them if they like Army Green, most people will say they prefer the Army Green.

 

This, I had a deposit down on one, loved the color in low light / shade, saw it in the sunlight and it was a no go for me. It's still a cool color, just not something I could live with for an extended period of time / or on a $47k truck.

 

Pretty sure they are NFABs sourced by SET, sort of like the bakflips they offer as port options that are not branded. Should run you $450:

I'm still on the fence and have one that will be here next week. I have yet to see a Tacoma in the color but have seen it in the Tundra and looks different in different lighting. I didn't hate it but didn't love it. Its almost the exact same color as the National forest ranger trucks you see in National Parks. Would prefer white but manuals are rare and the deal I received, will, I suppose force me to grow to love the color.

 

I think the trucks look good in LR, but I don't know if it's a color I could go for long term. I like AG, and still don't know if that's a color I could commit to.
