Ditto on killing the chrome bumpers :artist:- you've convinced me to do that to my 96. Nice work in a short amount of time.

Ditto nice! I don't think I've seen those running boards before (hate the stocks). Got the details on those? That could be my next add on. Jason_in_ca

1. You pay for the look 2. Be sure to ground-truth your speedometer. If you increase tire radius, you are moving further than the speedo thinks (since it is RPM-based). So a part of the decrease in mileage could only be apparent. I know on mine when the speedo says 60 - I am really doing...

Ok Priest - that is well said and should be respected, at least in my opinion. It has been easy over the years to stereotype Texans, but your sentiments seem legit and I respect them. Coming from the West and a very liberal, often stereotyped county, I will take a page from you about just...

Did my fenders and entire lower trim a few months back, very happy with the results. The only places that look funny are where it peeled away with the paint tape while removing it. I'm guessing since the grill doesn't ever get dinged by anything, it will last as long as you want it to.

Let's see some pics Pete! No better way to introduce yourself than with some 1st Gen pride.

That's about $250 bucks less than my seat covers cost!

What would I do? NOTHING! I'm happy with my 3rd gen and can see someday, just maybe getting a 4th gen. But by then I will be too old to drive or dead so it won't matter. My other vehicle affair is my 86 Vanagon, which they did discontinue - and all that did was make me love my ride all the...

Note from the left coast: according to an HR training I took last year, in CA it is considered a workplace harassment to have a confederate flag in your cube or desk. Someone actually asked if they had a confederate sticker on their car in the work parking lot if that was also considered...

VERY handy indeed! Much easier than carfax or Toyota owner site. Interesting that mine scored green on everything except a smog check (which it passed) and a loan (which was paid off since the title is clear), so it scored a 16! Well, I hope I can still find a way in my heart to keep loving...

Hey if it works for you that's all that counts. The only thing that crossed me up is the Xterra rack - doesn't look bad - just that's their look :lightsaber:

Nice Job! Way to keep one more 4R on the road instead of sitting in a junkyard :cheers:

The one downside of the 4R, no indoor changing room.

Bump - any new theories?

Looks good to me! (but I am partial) Your rig makes me want to try the black bumper.
