GSGALLANT

I still have the original bumper right now. I plan to build a new one with wrap-arounds that go right to the rear of the fender openings. I also plan to paint the whole 4Runner at some point so that it's all the same color.

I did all the metal work myself but the bodywork is not as clean as it looks in the close up pics. I repaired it to be durable and hopefully rust proof. Covered all my handywork with the flares.

Paint is original, just removed the striping and polished.

Final product turned out great. Its been 2 years, no sign of rust coming back (I periodically remove the flares to check it out). I get lots of compliments on my seemingly newer than '90 4Runner.

I have more pictures if you're interested.
