Right on.
Ive been riding JC1 & F8 Blackstix on my Firewire LSD & WRV Yinger-Slayer this winter.
They ride sweet but way to much flex in shore breaks so CM2 & WCT are on my shopping list this month :happy:

They Will soon be my choice for that hefty Hatters NC shore break.
Paddled out last weekend finding 6ft ShoreB didn't play well with my current fins....heck man it was painful lol.
Future Chart is pointing me to your go fins so I'm on it.


Anyway back on topic
Sweet 4runner my friend looks great!

Here is a better picture of the repainted trim, the black is much better in this pic

Man, I am loving the subtle, understated beauty of this rig.
My '02 is green so it particularly hits close to home for me.
Now I need not wonder any longer what badassery I could achieve with a little
paint and attention to detail. Those little things add up making
it something new and much, much better than the original.
Nice work, mate.

Can you comment a little bit more on your spray gun???

And did you use a clear coat?.. Paint looks really good. Like professional quality good...

Haha thanks a ton man, means a lot!!
Yeah for me I honestly don't have enough income (being a college student)
to go all out on the mods, so I just spend as much as i can just cleaning up everything
I already have and trying to make the runner look as clean as possible. The great thing
is 4runners don't take much to look good, I'm finding out its all about the little simple details.
Thanks again, greatly appreciated!

Thanks man! my dad is a extremely good painter, for the grill and rack we used a
Sata Jet 2000 gravity feed gun, its small and really good! We used 3 coats of Nason single stage black.
But for the trim/bumper valence I just used Duplicolor black trim paint straightout of the spray can.
Took all the trim off and took a scouring pad before the few coats. I honestly didn't use clear and its
been a couple weeks and its holding up like new.
