Hi. Not sure where to post this sad news. My 2000 4runner that i have had for 20 years was unfortunatelyT boned, flipped and totalled. She still starts and runs, blwoing white smoke (maybe trans fluid in the fuel?) front and rear end look good. But sides are smashed up and the body is bent...

haha yea it looks more black but does have a lighter shade to it

haha yea youre both right, i had some of this paint left over from awhile back so decided to try it. sanding probably would have worked better and i might get it a go later thanks, now thats its all done i really like the look of it. i might have saw yours and thats where i got the idea haha...

thanks. i was debating on using clear but i wasnt sure it would do any better hiding the cracks so i went with the flat black to match the other things ive painted. the fender flares are going to be a chore when i get to them, maybe i'll use a clear coat on those

Just repainted my license plate housing and wanted to share a few pics of how i did it. first i decided to mask off the area instead of removing the housing completely. taking apart the rear end was something i didnt want to do. removed the rubber strip around the border and masked off with...

haha good times man thanks for sharing, i take it you didnt make it to church?

looks good, ive been wanting to replace my 2 - 10" fosgates with a single 12" but i like how little space your set up takes. Can you still use the cargo area behind there? If not can it be mounted on the other side?

haha yea good idea, this isnt where you want to be stuck cool ride steezemcqueen, I've been thinking about painting my rims black like yours. CO looks pretty awesome too

yep 2wd and everything is completely stock on it. i go out to camp in anza borrego when i can and hit some washes and a few trails. So far I've only gotten stuck once but thats why i take a shovel haha.

haha yea northern san diego

Looks like front end damage. check the frame if you can, it could be bent
