Looks perfect with those tires! Nice job. No more low rider look on the front end.
irwinSR5, I really like your front brush guard but it looks like it would prevent you from opening the bonnet or it looks like at least the grill would hit the top of the brush guard when opening the bonnet. Is that an issue at all?
The thing making me hesitate to purchase a brush guard like this has been all other installations seem to have the headlight portions of the brush guard angled slightly up rather than straight back like yours. The headlight portion of your brush guard faces straight back and this is the look that I want if I decide to purchase a brush guard.
If there is something I should know when installing the brush guard to make sure the headlight portions are at an appropriate angle please let me know. If I can be assured of not ending up with a brush guard that looks like angled eyebrows for my 4Runner I would feel much better about the purchase.
Thanks for any and all related help.

Looking good Mike!

What brand brush guard do you have?
Does the ability to unattach and move it forward decrease its durability in any way?
The look that I want to avoid can be found here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=28305http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=28305

Looks awesome!! Just like the 4Runner should have been from the factory...
Manik guard looks great too, I just wonder how easily this tips to allow for hood access.
Did you have any rubbing with the BFG's before the lift?

The brushguard is made by Manik, as mentioned earlier. The guard has to hinges on each side that you lift up then angle the top part of the brush guard away from the truck, not a big deal.
I had to remove the front mud guards (good amount of rubbing on that) and without them at full turn of the wheel it would rub if going over a little bump (not much room to articulate), after these spacers though, all rubbing is gone.
