removing plastic bumper cover

my rear plastic cover over bumber was fading reallly bad so i poped it off and decided to primer and paint it today

Nice work. Do you basically pry plastic cover off? Anything to look out for when doing this. I know this seems simple. I don't want to accidently mess bumper cover up. Thanks.
Btw your ride looks good.

astynx- thanks for support man! and i just used my hands and a dirtbike tire iron and just took my time and it popped right off! other than that its pretty straight forward best of luck!


Well quick update took the bottom door trim off and painted them black today turned out nice going to tackle rest of trim interior pieces!

And i removed the running boardsfor looks but decided id like to have them back on im 6'2 and its easier to get in with running boards to me and i repainted the chrome on running boards with plastic dip to match bumbers!

Also ill be adding some pic of when i first got it! came home from work and there she was my first love!

[4runner_kid]

Looking good man.

 

[hondaracer11]

thanks man im trying to decide wheather to put the 33x12.50s on or not the 31s look good but id like the bigger tires but i also heard people with highway driving issues with the 3.slow and running 33s

im thinking about a 2 inch body lift also

this week im going to fab up a cargo roof rack to put the high lift jack i got and i also picked up a full size spare tire and rim tonight !! depending how it turns out i might make a light bar on top and put a row of offroad lights on top i think it would be sick!

i also took it to power lines today on lunch break and did a little wheeling and air my tires down low and for a 2wd i gotta say i was impressed mudd was easy just stay on gas :boxer:

What issue's do people have driving on the highway with 33's on a 3.0? I have 32's on mine and i do highway just fine.

 

[hondaracer11]

really? i heard they dont want to accelerate over 65 mph it would be a tight fit on to my stock rims though.


went wheeling at the powerlines from 6pm to 2am!!:banana: she is more than a mall crawler i didnt spin tires once!
