Looks awesome fightman. By the way, are your step tubes the factory Toyota ones? I know they put them on some runners right out of the factory rather than running boards.

Thanks for the feedback Nelson! I'll tell you the truth, I'm really not a huge fan of the Satoshi Grill Mod.....In fact, the only Satoshi I like is the one Blcktpgsr did with the lights in the grill...
Taylor: My nerf bars are made by Westin, I've had them on for about 5 years now. They are made of steel, and coated with Chrome. I personally like them alot, but they are not very functional for off-roading. Like I said before, I'm not a hardcore wheeler, so they work just fine for me as a step, and something shiny mounted on the side of my rig! :lookout:

Looks real good! I like how you got it nice and tight with the bumper, and it doesn't hang down too low. Great idea on mounting it directly to the other skidplate too.
I seems strange that part of your truck used to be on my truck, yet we're so far away from eachother. Now I am going to freak out every time I see pics of your truck.

Thanks for the comments guys! I've always liked the Sport Edition Skid...just wanted to put my spin on it! lol!
Funny you say that...I've got another guys Tundra assemblies and LC Coils too....the LC Coils, I got from a fellow Off-road club member here in town! I guess you can say, my truck gets the hand-me-downs! HA HA HA!
That being said....I'm looking for a front "T" logo that is in near perfect condition that someone may have removed to do the Satoshi Grill Mod....and will fit on my grill.....anyone have one?? HA HA!

That's a very unique front end game you've got going there Fightman! I like it it. You have found a way to make your 4Runner one of a kind, which is always cool to see.
When you said you were getting just the skid with no mounting brackets, I was curious to see how you were going to make it work. I'd seen 4-Ripcord's with the stock brackets and figured it'd be a challenge without having the brackets.
But... you made short work of that job. Good work! :thumb3:

I ended up using rubber hoses. Here's some pics, I may just do a write up if enough people are interested.

I like hearing all the comments from all you Cali guys! HA HA HA! I coat the undercarriage with oil and grease in order to avoid costly repairs. Frame rot, and axle rot is common around here, and last thing I want to deal with is a rear axle replacement!
In a perfect world, I wouldn't have to do this, but I'd rather spray the undercarriage than have it look like swiss cheese! lol!
Besides, I don't spend all day under the truck and looking at the undercarriage....I look at the body!

Well, it was Mother's Day today, and it gave me a chance to go spend time with my Mom and Dad at our family farm. Decided, since 3/4 of the group went for a walk, I'd take the opportunity to have a little photo session!
My Nephew is a fan of my truck, and wanted to take a pic next to it.....ha ha!
That's about it. I wanted to take some pics of it by the old barn, but the ground is pretty soggy....and didn't want to chance tearing up my dad's field...ha ha ha! He would kill me! :boxer:
