Looks so much better now that it's cleaned up. Have you done any mock ups?

After I took the pictures, I got some primer on it to keep it protected. Just my friend and I lifted it up and tried to see if we could slide it on to the frame rails, but with just the two of us holding it (100lb bumper), it was hard for us to get the right angle. It looks like it should slide over the frame rails though and be perfect height with the body and hatch. If for some reason it doesn't fit over the frame rails, cutting the bottom of the mounting points off should do the trick. But I'm pretty confident we won't have much trouble as it was on a 3rd gen previously.

Well here she is. Heading back to the shop next Monday and going to cut some of the bumper up by the wheel well. As you can see in the side shot, she sticks out a little. If I move up to 33s I would definitely have a problem with how it is right now. Also need to finish painting it.

It looks a little too close to the body. In the right situation, the body mounts in the rear allow flex which leads to bumpers like these touching the body and causing damage which the bumper is intended to prevent. I would drop it down a bit and maybe even shave down some areas.

Thanks for the heads up. While we have it off doing the other adjustments, I'll have them grind back the top a little bit. They had a big project they were working on so didn't have much time to work on it today. He just put a few welds on it so it would hold till next Monday when I go back.

Never got around to posting the finished bumper pictures on here.
Also made and installed these today.
It looks like this Christmas break I'll be adding a mini header to my list. The exhaust crack in my header is getting really loud. I think it may be the rattle then I've been trying to track down. Ooppss lol

Exhaust leak? That just means you have a performance exhaust installed :zoom:

Lol. In the parking garages it sounds like my truck is about to fall apart.

Hey man I love that rear bumper. Thanks for the extra pics. Hopefully this summer I can throw some arcs around and do something like this.

So I have another update...
Getting some retrofit headlights built up for me in exchange for a flush grille and a good amount on money on my part. They will consist of Panamera Shrouds painted black to match the housings, 35w H1 Morimoto HID kit from The Retrofit Source with 5500k bulbs and the Anti-Flicker Capacitor, along with the Bixenon H4 Harness. And to top everything off, they will have a 120mm color changing halo in back.
I can't wait to get them on the 4runner. Should have them in about a month.

I got ya little buddy! I am going to see if I can get a tap to re-tap that one that got a little boogered. Unless you want to just drill them all out and through bolt.Never got around to posting the finished bumper pictures on here.

Got a few more things done on the rig.
6" LED light in the hood scoop
Also got the rear bumper completely painted and cleaned up
And then had a fun ride with a friend a few nights ago
For the fun of it, here is a photo of my camp site down in Flamingo, Fl. Spent two days fishing and camping. Was a great experience.

No pics of the fish?
I took a boat out of there once to go to Little Rabbit Key. I think the road is 9336 if I remember correctly. Some guy had run over an 11ft python in the road the night before.
South Florida in winter, nothing better.

Like you stated, the bumper rubs the body a little and is causing a lot of in cab sounds. I think I'm going to through a 1/2 inch body lift on to get some separation between the two.

Fishing wasn't great as it with 20 mph winds all weekend along with huge tide changes due to the full moon. The trip was also cut a day short due to an injury. Shins and trim tabs don't like each other.

He's not starting production again till after Christmas, I just talked to him on FB. I would like to get something sooner but don't know anyone else that makes a 1/2".

4Crawler might have a 1/2". It's kinda hard to decipher their website. If they do, it'll be $40

A good size update is here!
My new rear bumper was rubbing so I figured it was time for a body lift. I went ahead and got a 1/2" body lift as there was no need for me to go much higher then that. Here's some photos!
Next I got some new rear lights as I lost my back up light when I replaced my bumper. Have them running to a switch on the dash. They sure are bright!
Finally I got my long awaited retrofits in. I will get some better photos of them soon! Really happy with how they turned out.
