Took some junk off of my 4Runner during Christmas time (PICS)
While I was home for Thanksgiving I removed my K&N FIPK and throttle body spacer from my engine. I opted for the deck plate mod in their place and I have no regrets at all. I honestly can not feel a loss of power and the reduction in noise is a plus. All of it was sold on eBay.
Then, when I was home for Christmas I removed my Manik brush guard, Manik nerf bars, and WAAG rear bumper guard. I was tired of the brush guard shaking and I basically was tired of looking at all of it. Also, the brush guard made it a PITA to clean the front of my truck. The running boards went back on and the PIAAs are on the bumper (thanks for the help Brian). I will sell the stuff sometime later and I plan to put a TJM T-17 on my truck then.
I know this isn't the route that most folks might chose but in my mind it was time for a change. Anyway, enjoy the pics and give me some good feedback. BTW, in the newest photos I had just used Griot's garage polish and wax on my truck with the PC buffer, good stuff!
Then:
And here it was by a real 4Runner. Sorry about the poor quality as it was dark out.
And now:
What do you folks think?

Looks alot better. I used to like the look of the brush gaurds but the TMJ and ARB bumpers look much better. Now take that hood cover off and put one on like the red one has.

Too bad you didn't figure out you liked the stock look better before you bought all that stuff!!
Maybe its just me, but I think it looks a lot better with the brush guard and nerf bars on it. There are just so many stock 4runners these days that its nice to see one rigged out every now and then.
Good looking 4runner either way, very clean!!

I think brushguards on trucks with 20" wheels looks just dumb and it gets worse with taillight guards but I guess you can't have enough protection from shopping carts. I see so many blinged out Denalis and Escalades around here with brushguards on them it makes me sick and don't even get me started on H2s with oversize wheels,we can thank Rap/Hip-Hop stars for that one.
