Even though I won't be getting mine powder coated until this weekend, I'm jealous as hell yours arrived already. Haha.

Im happy for yall!

I jsut got back from a 10 day trip in Utah and Arizona and although I didnt have to rescue anyone, got tons of compliments on the bumper. Cant wait to see more of them around!

If you don't mind me asking-when did you place your order, and did you know about the new C4 logo at the time?

I ordered mine on 3/1, and the note about the logo wasn't up yet. I ordered it with the TRD cutout, too. I don't care much about the TRD part; I only asked for it because I thought it looked more factory than the other C4 logo. I definitely don't want one in the light bar cutout.

I reached out to C4 via their website earlier today, so I assume I'll get a response in the next day or so.

I was one of the first few who placed my order in the beginning of Feb. From what I know, the C4 logo has always been a part of the design.

How did you order it with the TRD cut-out? Did you order a 14+ lo pro? This thread is centered around the 10-13 models and the design didn’t offer any Toyota trim branding as far as I knew.

You are right - wrong thread. Mine is the 14+ version.
 
Got mine in today. Haven’t had a chance to unwrap it and look at it. Planning on doing that tomorrow and hopefully get it powdercoated Friday.

Mine comes in tomorrow. Super excited.
I will be going the primer and paint route.
If anything ever happens, I'll just take it off and repaint it, instead of paying someone to powder coat.
 
It’s here!

Just got home from work and I have a bumper on my front steps! Gonna take it to work tomorrow and smooth out some edges. Also I am going to add a bull bar to mine. Got a few ideas on how to make it look good with the tight clearances on top. Then powdercoat and install. I’ll take plenty pics to share with everyone when I’m done, stay tuned. Thanks a lot Caleb/C4 for making this happen for all of us! Siouxrunner
 
I love my logo so much I'm going to trim the shipped C4 logo off the box and staple it in my garage. My Trail Gear hoop needs to be welded on and I'm currently waiting for the Factor 55 Hawse to get here so powdercoat man can color match that gray. 25" light shopping now since I can make true measurement with the bumper light slot tabs exposed. Happy modding!
 
She's getting prepped.
Scuffed it up with some 120 grit, then wiped clean with some mineral spirit.
Finally blew it off with the air compressor and she's all ready to go.

It's a bit chili in minnesota today, mid 30's.
After letting the primer sit for 24 hours, i sprayed it with rustoleum bed liner.
3 solid coats with 30 min in between each coat. I will be letting it sit the next two days to dry up in the garage. It is a bit chili still and the garage isn't heated.

While we wait for that I removed the front bumper.

Didn't feel like working outside or in the garage anymore. The sun was going down so decided to bring the bumper into the basement.
The wife wasn't a big fan of the chrome, so i took them off for her to plastidip black.
Will start cutting into the bumper after i watch the c4 installation video a few times.

How hard was it to remove the long and thin bumper chrome trim piece that's on SR5s and LEs?
 
Off to powder coat...

Prepped a new 25" light bar today. Laid down the Lamin-X in yellow overtop to match the Baja fog lights.

Now, off to powder coating. Going with a textured black.

I dipped mine right on the truck along with my fog surrounds. Save some time from removing them. Just used painters tape. I used an exacto knife when removing the tape to make sure the dip stayed on and didn’t peel off with the tape. I also used the clear coat glossifier. Worked great and has held up to serious abuse.

If I may ask Gibburnz, what do you have there for the bar/brand/source? It’s been challenging to find a 25” for this and wife has me a little budgeted if she lets me even put one in. It is her DD for the most part. Thanks
