Just a shot from today. I thought she looked too pretty sitting there to not take a picture

This is just showing how far my tires actually stick out past my fender flares

I just ordered my 4x innovation front bumper today. Hopefully it gets here and i can get it installed before i leave for college and football starts. If not it will be sitting in my garage until christmas break. I didnt get a stinger or headlight guards because i like how clean it looks without. Im not sure how to paint it... Im thinking either black or try paint it the same color as my 4runner.. Ill probably just use truck bed liner on it because i like the textured look

My armor bumper shipped yesterday and should be here this week. Ill put pictures up of the install and mounting

I sanded down the fender flares this week and painted them with truck bed liner to give them a textured look

My kc lights from my previous bumper are a bit too big for the holes that are pre made on the 4x bumper... They can fix with some work but I think I just want to put them on the top of the bumper on the pre made mount holes. So I was thinking instead of just leaving 4 big 4" holes in the front of the bumper that I will get some orange lamps and put them in there. I'm not sure yet but I would really like someone's opinion on this

I put 2 coats of primer on the bumper to help prevent rusting and to make the actual paint look better.

After the first coat

Second coat

I got some shackles to put them on the bumper

Rustoleum truck bed liner

First and second coat

How did you get the toyota emblem off the grill? I actually want to do the same thing to mine.

If you take the grill off and turn it around, there are two little screws that hold it on and once you unscrew it, the emblem comes right off

Haha. Easy enough guess I could have looked a little better. Thanks:doh:

I've been looking for a donor 1999 5 speed for quite some time now to do a manual swap but i never have any luck... I can find plenty of auto's but no manuals so im going to just give up on the idea i guess because i only have 3 weeks til college and i wont be home until christmas so i guess ill just do other mods and not go with the manual swap Oh well more money to do other sh*t do my runner
