Thanks! Definitely one of the better logos I have seen. I have access to a plasma, and may have to go this route when I get around to doing my grille.

How are your headlights holding up? I can't get over how cheap they are on ebay (at least for 03-05). I'm getting ready to do a HID retrofit, and debating on getting new housings to do the retrofit in.

Thanks!

I received the lights as a gift from a member here just recently and so far they've been great!

Your lifted black 4Runner looks really great! I scanned your thread and it sounds like your tires were rubbing a bit initially. I’ve got a 2007 4Runner, Sport Edition, and want to lift it 3 inches with similar wheels and tires, except I’d like to do 17” rims with 33” tires. Assuming the tire width, backspacing and inset is the same as yours do you think I’ll need to cut the body mount and use UCA’s?

Thank you! Yeah, UCA’s and some cutting. Keep in mind when you get a 33”, your spare will no longer fit.

Great build! Grille looks awesome. Have you considered adding some raptor lights to go along with the lettering? I got these lights off amazon for $4.99 each. Look up grand general LED 77650 for the Amber lens or 77651 for the smoke lens.

Well done!

You’re welcome! And thanks for that insight. I hadn’t even considered that the spare wouldn’t fit. Guess I’ll need to make plans to carry the spare on back or on top.

Thank you!
The white one is now owned by a member here (east coast) and I still have the black one.

Gotcha- just wondering if you were still doing work on the black one- and if so, how's it coming along? I just bought a 4th gen and have been reading / following builds for ideas.

Nothing dramatic. I recently put in an aftermarket radio with Bluetooth and a backup camera.
I don’t think I’ll be doing much more on it, as I’m looking to get a 5th gen soon. Plus the tires will need to be replaced in a year or two. I loved these tires but they suck as they wear. They’re extremely loud.
