:thanks:
Thanks man.

The pic where is says "complete" is immediately after the lift.

The pics with the tires is a little more than 2 weeks after the lift. Hard to tell by the pictures, but it definitely settled some.

Yes sir! Rattle Can Dupi-Color Truck bed liner

I love it! Turned out better than I thought it would!

A little more on the process http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/62718-bed-liner-rear-bumper.html

From the pics you can tell how faded the other plastic pieces were from the bed liner. Some Mother's Back to Black evened it out very nicely... I even use it on the bumper itself.

Same here, also any more build pics of how you did it? Did you leave all the pieces on like in the first pic? I'm thinking of bed liner or just flat black.

Looks great! Love the M/T's...

 

[vthokie]

that looks sick. just out of curiosity how much did that lift cost you? and how much total lift did you get?

 

[99yota4]

Looks awesome man! How do the 255/85/16's ride? Any effects on gas mileage? I'm running the same tires but in 285s on 17 inch rims.

 

[driffter33]

Looks killer with those tires on it I really like the KM2's. I hope to see tit out on the trail some time soon.

 

[pbcolt]

looks sweet man! those mt's look sick. even when I eventually lift mine, yours is gonna dwarf it haha

 

[Shoke]

Looks nice!

Thanks Brian! Hopefully we'll get your skids on soon! Looking forward to meeting you sir!

Hey harding, I posted the link above but here you go again. :bigok:

The only things I removed on the bumper painting were the rear mud flaps and the rear bumper cover.

Looks great! Love the M/T's...

Thanks Hepar. I love 'em too :fro:

that looks sick. just out of curiosity how much did that lift cost you? and how much total lift did you get?

Thanks man. Appreciate it!

For the lift alone:

Front Coilovers: $300
LC Coils: $20
LC Shocks: $75
Diff Drop: $40
_____________________
Total: ~$435

If your looking for a lift. Piece it together and be patient.

But thats not including tires :crybaby:

Not 100% on the amount of lift. When it was stock ('99 coils) I was riding pretty much 35" ground to fender all around. Immediately after the lift I was at ~38" in the front and ~40" in the back. I know for certain though it has settled in the back. But not sure how much because I took those measurements when I had my very worn stock tires on.

Looks awesome man! How do the 255/85/16's ride? Any effects on gas mileage? I'm running the same tires but in 285s on 17 inch rims.

Thanks 99. They ride sweet man! I couldn't be happier with them. I haven't noticed any differences on gas mileage yet... I'm still on my first tank :lol:
