Sometimes you get what you DONT pay for

 

True

 

* Update : Been long overdue for an update. Got my 4 runner bumper on finally with all the goodies. (had some bracket issues) As well as led bulbs in the markers. Got some for the turn signals as well but they wont work for some reason... Bench tested them and they work fine as well as the halogens in the sockets. I dont get it. Figure that out later. Picked up the bumper for dirt cheap but found alot of hairline scratches in the finish as well as a small dent. Not bad for 30 bucks I'd say. Still need the 4 runner turn signal sockets if anyone wants to sell me an extra set (just rigged the stockers in for now ) Here are a couple of pics from the local meet as well as the upgrades.












Will be posting more soon as I'm gonna get my a$$ in gear and finish some body work.


Almost forgot... Thanks to whoever it was that gave me the grill emblem @ the meet. I'm really bad with names and wasent sure who came up with it.

 

I think it was toy_spd that gave it to you. Truck is looking good man. Glad to see you got the bracket deal figured out. Hope what i told you didnt screw you up to much!!!!.

 

You didnt screw me up at all. I just ended up ordering new brackets off ebay and used the 4wd outters that worked fine. Will snap a night shot when it gets dark of the lights.

 

Cool sounds good. Hey you still giving those clear bumper ones away? Ill take off your hands if you dont mind.

 

It was me, no problem truck looks good

 

Thanks alot bro. Light pics (kinda crappy)







Dodgerfan call me up and pick up those lights whenever dude.

 

Looking good.can't wait to get back to see it again this year. So what is the light setup in the corners and headlights?

 

Damn those look good!

 

Nice! I want

 

Thanks guys. Headlights are some ebay hid kit 8000k but they look even more blueish the some other 8000's I've seen. And marker lights are some led bulbs I bought. I have some extras if interested ??? I bought a pack of 10 of em by accident.

 

Shoots if u were closer I come by

 

I like the setup. No when you are you going to lay the nice color down you have picked out?

 

I changed my mind on color. When income taxes hit i'm going to Z the front with new upper and lower controll arms and go up to a 7' bag as well. New tubs and I want to do a matte red with some black 20's. Hopefully I can spare the cash...LOL We'll see in time...

 

If your going for a matte look, could i suggest finding a red primer thats close to the color you want so that it would be cost effective and easy to repair, My buddy did this with his Cummings and periodically repaint the truck

 

Primer is not made to be the final finish. It fades and becomes hazy over time as well as absorbs moisture and will eventually rust- through. Matte paints however have oxidation inhibitors and uv blockers to keep the finish from any of that.

 

Dang those lights look sik bro. I tryed getting ahold of you last weekend but you didnt answer or reply back. Keep up the good work bro.

 

Ya satin red like. That's sick

 

Great build man, the truck looks great. I wanted to know if while working on the truck you came accross info on the four link setup. I was thinking of doing a four link behind the rear axle. Do you know any info on that and what made you go with a four link in front of the rear axle? Is there a better option? Here is what I mean:

I want to appear as stock as possible and cut out as least as I possibly can from the bed. I have seen some with just the area between the rear wheel wells cut out.
