Hey Lee, here it is...
The other truck is Hersh's. I don't get my Arizona plates until I am enrolled and succesfully run Jack Handle. I did not want to hi-jack that thread, and I had been promising that I would post some pics, so here I am, or it is, depending on things...
To avoid anger, not all these pics were taken by me. Some are courtesy of Mike from Oregon, Mark from AZ, Schaefer and loosehead. Thanks gents!

I will check my pics for some better pure bumper shots. Those were the trail ones that I had on Monty at the moment.
Darrren got some of just the bumper when we were in Colorado, I will be back in touch with him.
It is Rockware and I love it. You ought to see the craftsmanship on this. It is a piece of art!

It is an auto. Hoping to crawl it in a years time.
Darren is in the moutains this week IIRC. I will keep searching my pics and see what I can do.
I suppose if I changed the title to look at my truck, more people would have looked and commented...

Flygtenstein, You know I'm a big fan! Your avatar is what aspired me to get the most out of my stock suspension. After juggling shock lengths and losing countless hours of sleep I finally ordered and installed my shocks. I haven't "tested" it yet but I hope to have some pictures soon. 
Not that it is anything compared to your beast...Nice pics!

Awesome truck man!!
I'm guessing you meant that for my thread. If you read it, you'll see not many of those comments are actually about my truck.
Anyways, that is one bad@ss Runner.

Are you still running the shocks on the stock locations, or have you pushed the tops inward?? Sweet bumper BTW.. I am highly jelaous.
But I have a $135 20lb CO2 system (Sorry, I just added all the parts and am quite happy..

My rear is set-up as follows:
-Rancho 5009's in stock location
-Two tall side Cruise coils
-Downey panhard drop bracket
-Custom driveshaft that is skinnier overall, but thicker wall
-Custom gas tank skid to help with rubbing
I hope to add custom control arms with heims on one end and Johnny Joints on the other.
I may add a shock hoop and reposition the mounts if I need to get more travel with more lift. Right now I am running about as long a shock as a person can with the stock upper. Any adjustment from the will be going whole hog for me.

Yep, made it back a little while ago. (Details here.) Did someone say "pictures?" 
Here are the only close-up ones I have of Adrian's bumper:
Adrian's 4Runner is definitely sweet, and now I think he's seriously entertaining thoughts of going to the "next level" with it. At any rate, it looks great in its current state.

Thanks very much Darren.
If you don't have space to host those for long, I will take them off your hands and save you some headache.
For the record, look below the hinge and notice how a lot of the paint is gone. That part rubs like a bugger. Other than that, I love it.
Those pics were at the end of the jam and show where some paint got toasted.

Here's a close-up one of mine.
Additional pictures here which may help you in your quest. Adrian's is virtually identical to mine. The biggest difference is that he has the Hi-Lift mount.
No problem hosting them, Adrian. I have lots of space. I'll leave them up for awhile.

I want to say that they machine that on a lathe from solid stock at their place, but I am not sure.
I weigh all of 265 and it holds me up there fine.
10-4 on the hosting, I appreciate it.
