Nice looking 4R, any other big plans?
Usually toyotapartszone.com is about as cheap as it gets and they're typically reliable. You may save a dollar somewhere else but with shipping you're gonna be close. |

went to the park near me the first week and tested 4 low.
the curb i climbed was a railroad tie. pulled up to it and had about half an inch of space between it and the skid plate. it climbed in 4low diff open just fine, when i went to go back down i dropped it on the front skid plate. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...7.jpg~original also got a smittybilt tow hook. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...8.jpg~original plasti dip emblems and grill. emblems are clear and grill is black. still need to take the grill apart so i can take the front emblem off to do a different color. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...3.jpg~original some might know but i swapped to LED's in the running boards. V LED's 194_hp_w_5k http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...1.jpg~original http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...1.jpg~original and to show the color difference http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...1.jpg~original http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...1.jpg~original http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...3.jpg~original |
i so wish mine came with those wheels!
looks good, nice start |
I love the limited wheels as well. Looks good, Kevin. I especially like the way you did your emblems.
|
im looking for some smaller rims. if you were closer i would trade
|
That's almost better than my articulation on top of a rock :) J/K! I actually admire that neighborhood you live it, looks very pretty.

only chrome left is the headlights. the question is should i do black, gun metal, or color match the headlights |
Nice. Did you remove the toyota emblem to paint it?
|
yep. it was the only way to do it. i found out you cant mask over plastidip to do 2 tone so i had to take it off. turned out great after the 3rd try. first can was bad so i had to use another can
|
THAT is one clean Limited! Looks great man, and if you're serious about getting rid of those rims, there are plenty of people on here looking for them! I love mine, especially after i got them powdercoated black:banana: looking forward to following the rest of your build, great job so far.
