Hey everyone.....

Well i've decided to go ahead and clean up the front end of my 4Runner because i truley think it looks wicked with all the front suspension looking good and clean "As it can easily be seen" , add's to the persona of a truley wicked truck......


Here's what i've done so far to try and improve things so far....

-Skid plate restored with angle grinder and paint/rust removal 4-1/2" disc.

This first pic is what it looked like after i took the angle grinder too it for an hour or so......the steel-wool type weel was rated for 13,000rpm, and didn't leave any groves,, and i was shocked to see it shine....

I like what you have done with the skid plate and the front hooks. I looks much better than the original. I may end up doing something like that with my 4runner. Keep up the good work.
