Damn! I need to get this finished. I did fiberglass work on my spare grill more than a month ago but haven't had the time to finish. It looks great. Keep the V8 off. I'm worried it will look too cluttered. Just the fj40 "TOYOTA". But I don't even know about that. It looks damn clean as is.
Good stuff!

Here is the grille as it sits now. I decided on using both the Toyota emblem and the V8 emblem both painted white. I will have to post pics but there is another guy on here, I think, that cut the center caps so they were sitting more flush with the wheel spokes. I got the idea from a guy on an H2 Forum, haha H2's make me laugh, anyway I did this mod also. Done a couple other things, haven't had time to get pics of them all.

I really enjoyed looking through this thread. The truck looks really good! I like the headlight and grill mods. Did you use the Lamin-x film on your tail lights?
When I was at AU there was a place called Planet X. I have no idea if it is there anymore, but then again I graduated in '94...lol. War Eagle!

I used RVinyl's film for the tail lights; but they have since been re-done because of some cracking in the film. I used this stuff called night shade and did two coats of it, then two coats of a clearcoat and then one more coat of night shade and one more layer of clear coat. They turned out great, I will be posting more pics next week when I get my camera back. Also, after the train horn is installed; which was supposed to be yesterday but that didn't happen. Thanks, I am enjoying the grille and headlights as well as there not being any chrome left on the truck. The guys actually painted my trailer hitch black, and re-sprayed rustoleum all underneath so the underneath looks like a half way done new undercoat I guess you could say

That's sooo sick. Props to having the nicest truck in Auburn. Such a clean 4runner. And Momo planet x is pretty much gone. They built a new road cutting straight through it pretty recently

I figured it had to be gone by now. I can't remember all of it but I remember there was one part where we had to ride in the creek bed and go through the drainage culverts under I-85 to get to the other part of the trails.
This is what I had back then.....It doesn't look like much, but it was a beast.
it was an '83 SR5 with 4.5 suspension lift and 3" body lift. Those were 38" x 12.5" Super Swampers......this thing refused to get stuck.
