BlairB's 2008 4Runner

And just a cell phone pic, but here is all of the lights on. I am debating adding LED's or HID's to the bumper but I sort of like the clean look of having nothing there.

Blair, Nice bumper. Did Demello make the cover for windshield bottle for the bumper?

Nope he didn't and I really do not think it is as huge of a deal as people have made it to be. I don't really see anything randomly hitting that part of the bumper. Plus a big cover would take away from the lines of this bumper, which I really like.

Here are a few pics to show it. You can see in the first straight on shot you can barely see it, and this is with me crouching down.

Thanks man, it is definitely my favorite looking bumper out there followed by SW. I like that it is a little less bulky looking than some of the others out there, like Perkins.

Thanks man. I did not do the vinyl wrap myself, it is a really time consuming process. I have done a little bit of vinyl work and there is definitely a learning curve, it takes some time to get the technique down.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it done? And how much did that run ya? I'm guessing it is a cheaper alternative to a new paint job? Does it hold up well?

I got it done at Tint Factory in LA when I was still living in SoCal. I called in a favor with a buddy at 3M so I got a deal, typically though in runs about $3k for a wrap.

Seems to hold up well so far. Also, really easy to keep clean. Pretty much just hose it off and I am good to go.
 
satoshi

hey man, love how your runner has turned out. Noticed you got rid of your satoshi grille. Did you make that yourself or have someone else do it for you? and why aren't you using it anymore?

I actually got it from another member. Took it off b/c I was undecided about the looks. May switch back to it, I am not too sure.
 
hey whats up Blair,
I posted a thread asking for feedback on the fox coilovers and totally overlooked the fact that you have them. Kinda funny too cause your truck is the background of my computer right now. I plan on running the demello bumper and the fox coilovers and the rear fox with remote res with the all pro coils. I am wondering how you like those coil overs. I heard from a couple people that they are a little on the stiff side. Can i get your feedback on your experience with them. I am sort of torn between fox, icon, or the toytec ultimate. Any comments on your set up would be very helpful. Thanks!!!
 
Well first update in a lonnnnngggg time. Ended up pulling the wrap off the truck, it just didn't hold up as well as I had hoped.

Took me 13 hours to pull the wrap, and was a huge pain. I left it on the roof until I take the rack off for some other reason.

Here is a pic without the wrap.

Alright guys, it's hard to believ that were all grown men here on the forums and can't get along when were here to share one commn ground.

Everyone needs to chill out and stop making a mess in someone else's build thread. Please let this be the last issue we have.
