Bruiser build thread.

Ok I am going to get this started so that I can keep track of the mods I do so I will remember. This will be a long and drawn out process so don't expect a lot out of me lol. Hopefully at some point in the future it will progress to something awesome. After purchasing the 16 trail premium just about a year ago, the first mod up was a set of c4fab sliders with trail steps, that I bedlined before installing. The second mod was hail damage in May of this year followed by the mod 2 weeks ago of a deer hit. These second mods have led me to the next to mods that will be coming up shortly. A new bumper and a gobi roof rack which is already ordered. I am still deciding on who I am going to get it from. Either cbi offroad or hefty fabworks are the front runners right now. And I have developed the need to clean out my garage and move the 57 out to pasture until I have the money and time to work on it. I will be doing my own pdr to remove the hail damage when the garage is empty.

I will update with some pictures of hail damage and removal when I get started on it. And when the gobi arrives.

Well to start the day i removed the deer damage best I am able to until i decide the route i want to take with the front bumper. After lunch I will start on the hail removal process to get that repaired in preparation for a gobi roof rack that is already ordered.

Did you go with the baja designs S series? I am really impressed with the output from just a 10"!

No I went with the offbrand due to the price. So I am hoping for decent lighting but not expecting perfection. Finally looked at my thread on my computer and realized it would be a pain in the a$$ to read that so I had to edit everything.

 

[(none)]

bumper came out looking really good. Did you heat it up then hit it from inside?

 

[graciedad04]

Yhea heated with a heat gun then pressed it out from inside. Its not perfect but im sure it will end up catching something else in the future and then will be a full bumper replacement.

Since totalling out my Kia Optina last fall. I decided to pass down the 4runner to my daughter and replace it with a jeep for my wife( I drive to far to daily a 4runner so I have a maxima). Here is a pic of the day we got it. And after a month of owning it, I have installed a 3.5 inch rough country lift, 20"fuel mavericks, 35x12.50x20 deegan tires, steering stabilizer, procomp headlights. I have since realized I hate it and am going to trade it for another 4runner.
