Rebuilt, etc... Lots of new shit so I can keep my girl! However, my other girl doesn’t particularly know what the hell Im thinking but dammit... I love my 4R!

Thank you sir! I have zero regrets.

My thread won’t be particularly helpful because I didn’t do the work but I will follow up with photos showing what my mechanic did. I did (again) what no normal person would do and spent more than it’s resale value to keep it. I’ve had a lot going on. Long story short- it lives!

I will remember this and I thank you for the reply. I didn’t know about that product. It is definitely a good idea to have cheap, alternative solutions to just buy a little more time in times like these. Thank you

I did pull over immediately upon seeing it. No smoke from the exhaust. My mechanic did a compression test, wet and dry and assured me he felt confident in going this route. Thanks for all of your replies. I've been using the information from here and it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your replies. I'm going to get it done.

My project took a different turn and I had to focus on maintenance and repair more than off-road but my plans were to get it equipped with additional lighting and a winch. I would like to add the exact equipment you've added to yours.

Man, you're all business. When you do a project you do it right. I get frustrated and cut corners all too often so I admire the patient, concentrated effort you've put into this. Very nice T4R! I love the clean simplicity of it. Looks amazing.

I admire and envy your creativity and ingenuity, man. The fact that you enjoy this hobby with your family actually justifies your time and money spent building it up. You won't have any regrets. Good for you man. May the good fortune and good trails keep coming your way! :thumb:

Nice. Looking forward to the updates.

octanejunkie’s link had some good info and a reminder to avoid breathing any dust from sanding off chrome. Very bad stuff. And the “Ultrasonic cleaner” method was interesting. Not to be confused with a microwave!!

If I ever decide to do this myself I'd likely go this route. https://itstillruns.com/paint-chrome-bumpers-4895495.html
