It took the whole day. A lot of that was figuring out that the blinkers go in on opposite sides and I also had the fogs wrong.

Are you doing a custom install on the washer relocation, or using the aux battery location as designed? Why are you switching? I don't believe the Shrockworks bumper exposes the washer bottle!??!

It will be going in the aux battery spot. She has a budbuilt bumper, not shrockworks, so it shows and is a bit of an eye sore.
I keep forgetting that there actually is a second bumper available in the budbuilts.. DUH... yeah.. I agree with that view needing some cleanup. Was just curious if you were locating in such a manner that you (she) could still run an aux battery at some point.

Nah, I can't think of a reason for her ever needing one.

Had to order some new seals for the rear window and a rear passenger door so I decided to go ahead and order the parts needed to eliminate the rest of the chrome on the wife's 4runner. The door handles were alot easier than I expected thanks to [MENTION=48991]sp8ball[/MENTION]'s posts in his build thread. The rear garnish was a bit more complicated than the door handles but I figured it out eventually.
In the next week or so I'll be plastidipping the chrome strip on the rear bumper and the roof rack.

The door handles make a huge difference. Probably the best cosmetic change I made too.

Yeah we're both really pleased with the new look. Originally she wanted the black ones from the TE but I opted for color matched since the mirrors were color matched. I wish the TE roof racks were still black like on the earlier models. Those seem hard to find used. Going to have to ride it out with hers plastidipped until we get a Baja or Gobi.

Finally got around to doing the BHLM to an extra set of housings we had.
Really like this, ties the bumper to the truck!

Thanks! Things are starting to come along.
Finally got around getting rid of all the chrome. Color matched door handles, plastidiped the roof rack, rear bumper trim, and replaced the rear garnish. Now all she needs is new wheels and tires, which might be getting ordered next month.

Kind of a big update, last week Hofs05 got some fresh wheels and tires for her truck. We went with 17x8 ATX Mojave's and Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's in 285/70/17. They made a huge change in the way the truck looks, especially now that there's no more chrome on it.
Making room for the new tires
The center caps don't fit over the hubs and the inside of the wheels come unfinished
Painted the inside black to fix the problem
