Rear bumper Restoration
Yes, the stock bumper.... heh now I know most of you are gonna say "buy a Marlin crawler bumper" but honestly... im not a fan of the tube bumpers on my particular vehicle... love them on the pick ups, hate them on the 2nd gen 4runners.
Heres the reason why i replaced it. This is damage from the previous owner.
Heres the gap
Heres the dent that caused the gap
Heres the dent in the underbody that was causing the brackets to not sit correctly.
and heres the truck bumperless
Anyway, I knew how to fix this, just didn't have the tools. I bit the bullet and took it to maaco to test how well of a job they'd do, and honestly. they did pretty damn good, I must say. anyway, heres the end result
I took the time to paint it black about 4 -5 months ago, its gonna be repainted... and the truck is a bit dirty. but thats fine. I just wanted it on straight to get the lay out for my exhaust, which I'll be posting a thread of over the weekend, when its finished ( im sure most of you have heard me talking about it in flashchat )
