Assembling the freshly painted parts right now for the new grill.

Instead of going the full Satoshi route, I decide to do wire mesh on top and bottom and keep the original emblem.

I was actually thinking about doing it like that. I'm curious to see what it looks like on your 4runner.
 
A little update...swapped out my '96 front bumper for a "fat lip," also added fogs...looking to paint front and rear bumpers to match body color; not feeling the chrome :redbrick:

Not for the squeamish

Here is the finished color of the front valance/fascia under the metal bumper.

I had to get new mounting hardware because these original 14 year-old pieces needed replacement:

These are the parts I used to replace the old. I got them from 'Lowes' for approximately a dollar a piece....then a military discount took a few dollars off.

...And the bolts that fit the metal brackets:

Now I have to take off my metal upper bumper and mate the two (lower valance and bumper) to make sure they fit (the original bumper was bent in the fender-bender a month back) and drill the holes in the bumper to 5/16". The original holes were to small to fit the new hardware. I drilled the lower valance holes to 5/16" also.

Before I mate the two, I'll need to paint the metal bumper. The shade of the valance and bumper are off a little bit.

Today I just the opposite, put on the old style and took off the fatlip. I think ima try and do old bumper+fatlip valance. That or use 96 mounts and cut off the back section of bumper.

I prefer the fatlip from the front, but not every other angle. I kinda like chrome on desert dune.

I think it comes down to darker colors look better painted, lighter colors look ok with chrome.

Continued from a few posts up, here's the finished product after mounting the wire mesh, final paint, and mounting. Flat black and a glossy red emblem.

I like it. I'm not a big fan of the complete satoshi mod. But I do like the look of this because it's subtle.

:hatsoff: Liking what you've done.

Can you take a picture not in a shadow so we can see the mesh? I have a satoshi being made for me but I'm not 100% sold on it.

Recoloring interior of 3rd gen 4runner...PICS included - YotaTech Forums
Original thread...



It's such hard work to do so. Now that my current 3rd gen is my project again I'm going down this road after I finish the lift and repaint of the exterior!
How did you got the two parts of the dash apart? How did you get it together?
I want to know because the vinyl part of my dash is getting separated from the main dash, and I want to get it together again.
Thanks!
