Very stoked on the sweater and the bumper. The sweater was completely custom and if you look, the picture is actually my 4Runner :bounce: Hopefully I'll be able to get the bumper on before I'm off break.

So the bumper went on today. I decided to color match it with the flares and I couldn't be happier. I still need to get some trailer lights in for my blinkers as well. The PIAA lights came with the bumper and are not wired. I'll likely keep them un-wired for now until summer until I decide what to do with lighting so for now, they're fillers.

I also got my Gibson Exhaust in yesterday and will be putting that in sometime soon. I'll also be making a O2 sensor simulator to rid of my PO420.
My Icon coilovers should also be in the first week of January and I'll get those bolted in and I should be done for a while.

Thanks!
Thanks Dave! I was very nervous until I got it up, then it all started coming together. I think the color matching was a really good ide, very happy I didn't do it plain Jane black.
Any bumps out there? Think we have something coming in the next few days, fingers crossed.

Thanks guys, can't wait to see how it looks in some real day light. By the time I got it on, it was already starting to get dark out. I also am happy that it's got that unique factor to it as well.

No real updates here. Two buddies and I decided to drive South to the Outer Banks today to get some left over swell. Very fun stuff, no pictures of the waves yet (waiting on a friend) but here's a few shots of the 4Runner.
The weather has been crazy over here. This time last year I was wearing a 6/5/4 suit with gloves and booties, today I wore a 3/2 with booties only. It was nearly 80* out and the water felt close to 60.

I was able to wire my turn signals today and (finally) finish wiring my Rigid Duallies. I wired them to a generic switch but will eventually get a ditch mount switch. I also looked for some new fog lights, still very indecisive on what to do as far as they go.

Mickey always has a killer gallery to look at. Wish I made it a little further South but for a last minute trip, couldn't complain. Stuck mostly around Eckner Street just because it was our first stop and after driving a few miles South of that, we decided Eckner was our best bet. We didn't get down there till around 2:30 and didn't want to waste too much time in the car.
Any chance you headed South?

In other news, these showed up courtesy of [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION]. Hope to get them and my adjustable panhard bar put in some time this week or next.
