No real way to put in hydro bumps without frenching them into the frame. And I don’t think it would get me anything. The rear end never bottomed out in Baja.

Seriously, this is one of the best looking 4Runners.
ps I would love to see a side shot of the truck and like the black on the lower part of the doors & rockers.

I figured this was gonna be a pain to install...turned out I was wrong.
Here's the emissions/secondary air intake sensor that I chewed up in Baja. You can see how much JB weld was added to actually get it to seal.
Throwing a code 900 miles from the united states was a big sketchy.

Nope, bumper isn't modified. I think TECHNICALLY you can run the Mcqueen Fenders with a stock front, though they may not line up perfectly. But you can see how even the fenders are to the wings of the bumper. Whereas before the wings used to go out passed the stock fenders.
I'm trying to talk Pelfrey into doing a bumper that's just a tad wider for me.

Front of hood (I do wish I'd have done the whole hood originally just to protect it from rock chips), fenders, headlights, forward parts of the side mirrors, door edges, door cups, most of the rear doors, behind the ladder, under the GOBI wind fairing, etc.

So I wrote an article for Tread Magazine, during one of my slow periods (freelance life!) where some friends kind of asked me what I'd do differently on my build. I felt just being super honest about what I've done wrong has helped me identify and adjust my setup to make it as best as possible for MY needs:
