Wingshootin's build thread

The back is now complete. I smoked the tail light lenses last night and nothing else is to be done to the back. Ordered new headlights today and waiting on a member to ship me his wrapped fog light bezels next week hopefully. I am going to try and get to the roof rack tomorrow. Having a fish fry at the house tonight so no more working on the 4Runner.

Finally blacked out the roof rack rails. Plasti dip is some really easy stuff to work with.

The door handles will be completed this weekend along with my new headlights. They are supposed to be here Fri. Cant wait to get the rest of this completed so I can start on the interior.

What a transformation. Truck really looks great. You definitely have to black out the door handles at this point.

Did not see it referenced. What size tire did you go with on the 18" wheels?

265 65 18

Why not 275s?

Why not 275s?

I went with the 265's because I got a great deal on them. The distributor sent them instead of the 275's and I guess they didn't want to have the hassle of picking them back up so they gave me a deal.

Got the door handles done tonight. Putting in the new headlights tomorrow and then the exterior will be completed. Then on to the interior.

Was getting dark out so the pic is kind of fuzzy. Will get better pics tomorrow once I get the headlights installed and clean her up.

The exterior is now complete. It was fun to do this black out project with my 4R. It has been a while since I have done anything like this with a new truck. The interior is next.

Ha I was going to say he just needs an HID retrofit a la Jangoforhire's and he'd be set. Great looking truck!

Yeah do a bizenon HID retro and paint it all black. No need for the reflector hi beams then.
