Pearl white trail edition conversion

Know where your friend in the taco got that white outlined Toyota emblem on his grill?

its the same exact one we use for our satoshi mod, except he reversed his and outlined it white with paint by covering the letters and cutting around with the exacto knife. here's a photo.

Hey Hbryanlopez, do you have a shot of the back? I am not sure what color scheme I am going to do with the rear garnish/4runner logo and am interested to see what you did.

I haven't touched the rear yet but my plans are keep the 4runner and toyota logo chrome and everything else flat black. here's what it looks like now.

Perfect thanks! I was toying around with that idea.

I was also thinking about going flat black with the garnish and painting the '4Runner' and Toyota Logo white and trying to match the pearl. But I think since it can't be matched exactly it would look strange.

As of right now I left the garnish chrome and added a 'hilux surf' badge to the back painted flat black just for kicks. I don't think I'm going to stick with this though. It doesn't look right to me.

thats a good idea. if you want to get a close match on the blizzard pearl for the 4runner sign, your napa store can give you a spray can with the color match to paint code. we did this for my buddy's rear sr5 bumper. I think the black garnish with chrome 4runner sign looks more OEM.

Sweet, thanks for the tips! Still loving that 4runner of yours..
 
Congrats - your conversion looks fantastic. I was wondering what Bilstein setup you went with. Did you go with the 5100's? Front and rear? What settings do you have them at in the front? Any rubbing?

Thanks!

bilstein 5100, front set to 2nd setting which is 1.75 and rear with daystar 1.5 spacers. moved the front fender liner forward and I have no rubbing issues.
 
Sorry I'm hitting you will all these questions, I just love your rig to much!

I heard you have to make new brackets or something for the front/rear trail bumper. How hard is this?

thanks jangoforhire, I didn't buy any brackets for the front. you do not need any brackets for the back. everything bolts on, TE to sr5. no additional brackets were needed. there are two metal bracket that hold the bottom part of the front bumper, you can modify the stock to fit the TE bumper or you can bend it with your hand to move it out of the way. it's for additional support but the bumper will stay on fine without it. I bent mine out of the way for the meantime. I have travelled 1000 miles and slight off road without that bracket and it's holding up pretty good. i'll try to get a photo of it.
