Ian, now all you need to do is buy my bumper and you're set!

Looking good, I think I saw you drive by my office about a week or so ago.

Wow, your 4Runner looks awesome!

What size wheels are those rock crawlers?
Did you have to do anything special to get your tires to stick out a little bit?

Thanks guys. I should take some better pictures, its kinda hard to even see the difference from the chrome.

I am actually right now in the process of painting my front bumper. Looks like the rear bumper is next!

Sean: I've been thinking about that bumper a lot, so just let me know. I should come over and check it out some time. I have been making a little extra cash finally so I might be able to get it.

catattack: I just sanded the chrome with some 100 and 220 sand paper, got some of the residue off with steel wool and then wiped it down with 190 proof ethonol.

I think Ive learned that you must primer the CRAP out of the chrome before painting. I did about 3 coats of primer and it looks good.

Nice, matches the truck. I would have done the same but my truck is getting more and more chrome. So I have to leave it
