Addicted offroad front plate bumper test fit at integrated metalworks in Renton. If anyone needs offroad fabrication or install work in Washington, contact Tuan @integratedmetalworks on Instagram.
This bumper is beefy and stunning in person. I thought the crossmember would need to be welded to the frame... Nope. Bolt on. Frame will need to be cut and capped however.
Next stop is Seattle powdercoat for color match.

This is super exciting, since my AOR bumper is arriving Friday  .
I'm curious, does your truck have a body lift, or is that the gap with no BL? Talking to Scotty, he said that a BL can be accommodated (mine has a 1" BL), but it would require welding, whereas normally no welding is needed.

Mine has a 1” body lift. Bolt on crossmember and bumper. The gap is honestly not that bad and my installer said it’s actually preferable to some degree since there will be room for body flex while offroad.

Perfect, that's great to know. I agree, that gap does not look bad at all.
Are you getting it powder coated on all sides? I'm planning to do mine in body color as well, just debating powder coat vs. rattle can.

I plan on powder coating thundercloud metallic full bumper for color match. Crossmember is rattle can etching primer followed by rustoleum.

My 4wd conversion has been super slow lately because it's either way too hot or raining. Wish I had a shop to work in instead of outside in the backyard. Oh well. I'm not the best welder so instead of cutting off and re-welding the "horns" for the transmission cross-member, I ordered a Trail Gear 120198-1 kit. This seems like a quick and easy solution and also gives a skid plate. I hope the Tacoma frame rails are the same width as 4Runner frame rails.

Crazy how destructive something as soft and fluffy as snow can be under the right circumstances, eh?
No problem! I hadn't seen a video on here yet, so thought it might be helpful.
I think this is something every 3rd gen owner that spends any amount of time under the hood should do. Not only for the increased ease, space, and hood height, but for the added safety!

Replaced the contacts and plunger in the starter to fix the 1-click-no-start issue. Couldn't manage to get the starter out so I just did the job in the engine bay. Its rather easy if you have a helper, but without one its a nightmare. Next time I'm calling a buddy to help for sure.

Burtman Spoiler
Working up the courage to install the spoiler from Burtman Industries... I just like the clean lines and no fuss of no spoiler while washing the 4runner. With that said, the paint job is beautiful and matches perfectly.
