Finally got my new bumper on!

[the great him]

yeah X2 on that looking bad ass! im not a huge fan of the tube bumpers either but that looks so mean! I'd say black it out too but thats only cause my runner is all black too

BTW Ive been planning some more aux lights out too and i absolutly love the ION Crystal colored lights but dont they all produce the yellow light therfore not really giving out more light while on the trails?

actually the ion/amber/yellow light cuts through fog and foul weather better than standard white or bright white or blueish lights... the yellow has a different contrast and doesnt glare back like the white light does, its easier on your eyes, and you get better light in bad weather, you can see more. now in dry/clear weather sure the white or bright white lights are nicer and light things up better and make it look more like day light. and on snow the white lights will really pop, but you lose contrast so you wont see any bumps or ruts in the road/trail, where as the ion/amber/yellow lights will show you that contrast better, the snow will help bounce and reflect the light further down the trail as it does with the white light.

thanks for the explination in this, ive got the PIAA 510's in the Ion crystal and they are great when it rains or snows but i just wasn't sure they would perform say while on the dirt roads when there isn't bad weather. they look so good as far as cosmetic purpose lol!

I finally got my custom tube bumper installed this weekend and I couldn't be happier. ... what do you guys think?

I think you need to resize your pictures. :

Nice bumper. Sounds like you got a bargain.

What kind of D-rings are those, though? They don't look very strong. Are they functional or just for looks? I'd be worried that they'd pull out if you put too much weight on them.

wow that bumper looks great, is the company that you got that from out of oregon? I would like to get one like that!

I know everyone likes to "plug" their own stuff, but I can't resist.

Scotty at Addicted Off Road (and who is a member here at t4r.org, BTW) will build you a very nice one like that for about $500. He's located in Greeley, CO.

I love mine. Even on the Desert Dune 4runner I get a lot of favorable comments.

If you want to see it, here's the link to the thread with the pics:

they will also work really well in disty conditions, same principle apples to dust as fog. fog will be more noticeable though cause of the moisture, the water droplets/bead's tends to act more like little tiny mirrors, but dust will reflect light back too

I re-wired the turn signals into the corner lamps...

Anyone know how to do this. I have searched and searched for a thread on this. Is is as simple as switching the plugs?
