Thumbs up Front End Restoration HELP WANTED !!

Hey everyone.....

Well i've decided to go ahead and clean up the front end of my 4Runner because i truley think it looks wicked with all the front suspension looking good and clean "As it can easily be seen" , add's to the persona of a truley wicked truck......


Here's what i've done so far to try and improve things so far....

-Skid plate restored with angle grinder and paint/rust removal 4-1/2" disc.

This first pic is what it looked like after i took the angle grinder too it for an hour or so......the steel-wool type weel was rated for 13,000rpm, and didn't leave any groves,, and i was shocked to see it shine....

Here is a pick, with a single coat of red metal primer.....

Here is a pic with a few coats of flat black, metal paint.....

Finnally, here is a pic of it re-installed on my 4Runner......


As you can see, there is alot under the front end that i want to restore and paint, but i could realy use some idea's, especially for the control arms........

I would realy appreciate some pics of some custom work you tallented people have done... so please post some up here....

Todays mission, grind and paint my front hoook and tie down loops, WAS THINKING ABOUT RED, FOR THE HOOOK AND BLACK FOR THE LOOPS......?? what does everyone think???

Thanks....

I like what you have done with the skid plate and the front hooks. I looks much better than the original. I may end up doing something like that with my 4runner. Keep up the good work.
