Ok after a quick trip to the carwash, here are some pictures. The wheels are coated in Argento, I used smoked chrome on the bumpers because it matches the grill better and i have lots of it on hand. The rear bumper ends were poopy , and they broke when I removed them so I need to get new...

And the love continues. Before shots of the front bumper--grill. Took the bumper, grille , fascia and spacer between bumper and grill off, Pounded on the bumper a bit, and tried my best on the spolier. It was bent up pretty well. I then used some factory color on the grill (...

Well, the truck is finally here. They took it to a shop, where they stuck some shocks on and told them they were good to go. Since they saw the idler moving for themselves it was brought here. I am by no means a professional, but we will get this done in time. So, I was looking at the link...

Hello and thanks for having me as a member. Long story short, we went to Colorado, where we were met by my wife's emplyer-friend for some rides on the "county roads" there and now they are hooked. Last evening they brought thier beloved 88 4 runner over so we could figure out how to get the...
