Army Green Love

Since I didn't see a thread for Army Green I wanted to show some love and see everyone's mods.

 

Is that a slate roof?

 

She is sitting level!

 

haha I wish! That wouldn't last one storm here in Oklahoma.

 

It really is an amazing color, especially not having any Pearl in it. The color changes in different lighting conditions were mind blowing. I’m going to miss that color.

 

I went back and forth between Army Green and Quicksand. Glad I went with AG, QS will be my accent color

 

I bought my 4Runner in February of 2022. With the caveat that I avoid buying cars in black, white, silver, and red, the only options available at local dealers (even in upcoming allotments) were Lunar Rock and Army Green. I struggled with the decision, but finally decided on Army Green. AG seems so appropriate for roaming through natural settings while LR seems suited to a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I like both of those scenarios, but the optimist in me won out. Since then I’ve been asked if I’m a military wannabe because my 4WD vehicle is “Army” Green. I answered with a cold stare and the single word “Maybe”, an answer which mortified my wife, whose friend had asked the question. Luckily I refrained from giving the answer that first came to mind: “Eff around and find out.” For a time after that event I wondered if Army Green sends the wrong message. Since then though, I’ve come to enjoy how Army Green makes it more difficult for people to pigeon-hole me.

Yes, I tend to over-think things.

 

incredible. Worth the read.

 

Will be heading to KY for spring break and try to find a trail to hit along the way. Then I can add a pic away from my alley

 

a quicksand 4Runner is a literal unicorn XD

 

what is your tire and suspension setup?

 

Based on the information (I bought it with a lift) I've been able to gather and with the help of the forum it's a pre-assembled 6112's & coil springs on the fronts and 5100's on the rears. A 2.75" lift and set on the highest notch. The rear the springs replaced. The 5100's are the version that supports a limited lift. 285/70R17 Wrangler Duratrac.

 

set on the highest notch?? well damn how do you feel about it in your driving experiences? also do you by chance have a side shot of your 4Runner?

 

So far I like it. It's actually really smooth. This is the only shot I have of the side. I've had it less than a month but taking it to Arkansas this weekend FINALLY!

 

dang the stance looks good. no rubbing at all with the tire setup??

 

I mean I will go out and rub them down just to make sure they had a good nights rest but no fender rubbing

 

good one haha! do you see good enough clearance in your wheel wells though out of curiosity?

 

It is tight. I can get some pictures tomorrow!

 

Love my AG!! Being a former Army Ranger it fits me perfect.

 

Nice setup. How do you like your rock sliders? Still debating to sell the OEM sliders and get something that helps my wife get into the Runner easier haha

 

two more questions for you. do you know if the rear aftermarket springs got any lift height at all? secondly what MPG's are you getting on the screen? TIA!

 

Absolutely love them!! I had the OEM ones that came with the truck but they are about as worthless as they get. I put all Westcott Design products on since they are a local company and only 20 mins from the house. The sliders are of the highest quality: DOM/Tig weld, zero degrees with top plates and kick out.

 

Now that I am not sure of, but MPG was at 13.4 when I last checked.

 

Westcott is slowly growing to the top of my list just based on recommendations.

 

You won't find a better company out there with parts made in house with the highest quality control. Jeff and his team are top notch in customer service. Let me know if you go that route and can provide direct contacts. Nothing in it for me just love supporting a good local company.

 

OP, you’ll appreciate these videos.

I find it simply shocking that you have army green. Can’t believe it. Of all people. I don’t even know who you are anymore…

 

Army green lover here.. Even though I don't have one. Few times I thought to my self I could have picked AG.

 

Army green is one of those colors that will look epic on a 20 year old 4runner when the clearcoat gets oxidized.

Has anyone put some trail pinstripes on this color yet? Trail battle damage might look good on it too.
