    Write-up: Removing Side Mirrors

    No such luck with a sticker covering a hole. I tried just pulling on it, hoping that it was supposed to just pop out, but nope. I can usually take most things apart, but this one has me stumped.

    Write-up: Removing Side Mirrors

    On my 2000 limited, there is no hole on the bottom of the mirror. It's a slightly different design. Anyone know how to get the glass out of that style mirror?

    My first plate bumper build

    Sorry, I haven't been on here in a while! The weather stripping is just like this stuff: 14ft EPDM Rubber Weather Strip Door Edge Trim Waterproof Hollow Self Adhesive | eBay I think most auto parts stores carry it, cause it's made for car doors. Thanks again for all the kind words!

    My first plate bumper build

    Now that it was all wired up it was time to install the floods. I just had to take the bumper back off and throw em in. Then I put the weatherstrip on to cover the gap between the bumper and body. The bumper is 100% done now. I'll take some night shots sometime to show how bright these...

    My first plate bumper build

    Well I got everything else in the mail finally to finish this thing up. I decided to install a blue sea power distribution block in the engine bay to keep all the wiring nice and tidy. So I made a plate for the battery to sit on so I could move it over and put the distribution block between the...

    My first plate bumper build

    That's funny! I saw you pass me when I pulled in, and I was thinking to myself, I bet he's on t4r. You should have stopped, I would have chatted you up. I live just up the street from that gas station, so you might see me around!

    My first plate bumper build

    Thanks again everyone! I'm liking all the feedback. 4x8 sheet of 3/16ths plate = Not sure, dad bought that for me to get me off my ass and get started. I was thinking 150 12"x48" sheet of 1/8th and 1" round stock = 30 Shackle hangers = 30 So around 210 for the bumper itself. The...

    My first plate bumper build

    Yeah, I was trying to keep the same angle that the headlights are at, but if I did it again I wouldn't worry about that and pull the corners in a little. But at least this way if I want to put some hoops on down the road I'll have room. Oh, and I'm basically just a heavy equipment operator...

    My first plate bumper build

    I never put it on a scale, but without the lights and winch it felt to be about 90lbs. Then switching out my cable for synthetic line and an aluminum Hawse fairlead saved about 30lbs. I have the springs from a 99 on it, which are 1" longer. Which in the front doesn't mean that its 1" taller...

    The turn signals are from custom dynamics, they are made for motorcycles. I think they are called tru flex. And sorry, I don't have any plans for production. As of right now this is the one and only.

    Thanks everyone! I found some epdm rubber seal with an adhesive backing that's about 3/4" thick, hopefully that's enough. I want it to close off the gap like bandit did.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    (Almost) finished up my plate bumper, and got it mounted up! Bumper build thread http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/162144-my-first-plate-bumper-build.html

    My first plate bumper build

    And here it is mounted up, only missing the led floods, and a rubber seal that I'm going to put in between the bumper and body. I really like how the turn signals came out. They are about 10" long, 1/4" thick and are packed with 75 amber leds. The leds are on 1mm spacing, so close together...
