What did you do with your 4runner today?

Big weekend. Already posted my new tires yesterday.... but i just ordered some leather Clazzios too. Got em for a great deal.
Plannin on redippin the wheels tomorrow.
Also got my vehicle registration done.... lol?
Feels nice to show the Runner some love! I think she's lookin good.
 
Budget bumper mod

First off props to T-MAN for this one, decided to trim some fat off the front bumper for better clearance. I like the look, not for everyone though.

convert to 06-09 headlights and you can lose the turn signals and the area the fogs would have been too for a little more clearance.
That's what I plan eventually.
Thanks man, will do. Was late at night plan on doing it today and maybe take a hack to the rear bumper....
Looks good man! I used a razor blade to fine tune it and get rid of the rough edges. Go slow though!
^ I like it. Clean up the cuts with sandpaper or a file or something and it'll look great.
 
drove it to boston saturday morning in a snowstorm, had it valet parked (i don't like watching someone else drive it) went and saw a sold out garth brooks show (call me a redneck i don't care) and drove it back this morning. as per usual, it was a perfect ride

Thanks for letting me know you were in town
 
well it wasn't today but...... I crashed mine.....

no one was hurt and no serious damage so I'd say I got lucky. Aside from hurt feelings and bent metal all is good! Now I'm going to have to get out of "holiday" debt and get myself a Shrockworks bumper! also going to do the 2006 headlight swap, get another sport hood, get a 2006 sport grill and those pesky filler pieces....

Replaced the OE battery in my '08. 7 years and still going but I had that pesky warning sign; the rear windshield wiper would sweep once when I started her after she sat a few hours in the cold.
 
We had a warmer dry day today so I painted the spoiler I got off amazon. Turned on the heater in the garage to warm things up and laid down some adhesion promoter, 4 base coats, and 4 coats of clear. All duplicolor rattle can stuff.




 
Went and drove through part of the burn I hadn't seen yet. We had a pretty major wildfire come through this fall. This area didn't look too bad. Only a few spots where it got into the canopy.

Not the greatest for picture quality. The sun wouldn't cooperate.

I'm going to be adding some kind of lift to my list I'm working on. Skid plate hit on a little pothole on that road...

Where did you buy the duplicolor from? I bought some matching paint to do a fender a few months ago and it was terrible quality. It looks like yours worked great and I'd like to redo the fender if I can get some decent paint. Also did you use duplicolor's clearcoat as well? Did the finish come out close to the stock paint job? Thanks in advance.
