Which light bar did you have in the bumper?

I'm not sure of the brand, but it was the one that was offered in the group buy. I have not hooked it up yet. That will be happening on sunday.

Thank you! I couldn't be happier.

The wife and I were planning on going to Northwest OHV Park on Father's Day, but found out the were closed due to flooding. Soooooo, we found a little honey hole by the house. Here are a couple of pics...







I am uploading a couple of videos shortly. If we could ever get some time to go to a real off road park, I'll get some better videos.

Goofy question, but I'll ask since you work at Toyota!

Does Toyota have any particular policy about either warranty work or repair work on 4Runners with aftermarket lifts? I would assume all the warranties on the stock parts are still valid, correct?

I've only upgraded once I've been outside any warranty, yet had a weak moment and bought a TE Premium over the weekend...and already want the lift/level and bigger tires.

On the upside, I did drive it 1000 miles home, so I got more stock miles than you before the upgrades. Hahaha.

Nice looking truck. Envious.

Great build. I have the same truck, same bumper sitting in my garage and plan for the same lift. Just waiting a little longer before I buy the lift and winch to install it all together.

The only way Toyota will refuse a claim is due to abuse or if the lift caused a failure of another part. If the suspension fails, you are on your own though since it is not Toyota factory parts.

Congrats on the TEP!

looks great! I am hoping to install my SS hybrid bumper soon as well.

Thanks...The bumper install was pretty easy. The only kicker I had is when I cut the factory bumper and put it back on the car, without the supports that comes with the new bumper, it fit great. Once I put the supplied support brackets on the car, it pulled my bumper in a little and I found out I didnt trim one side of my factory bumper enough. basically I need to pull the bumper and retrim it and button it back up. No biggie though.

good to know. I need to buy the winch and then I will be ready to install. The bumper is sitting in my garage and very lonely at the moment!
