Well this is my first post so i thought show everyone my recent mods i believe the rear bumper was the first thing i built and then the herculiner with some other stuff i'm probably leaving out but i'll get more pictures up later.

Taped and sanded

Some surface rust


1st coat


my favorite part, i like because i haven't seen anyone else do it

 

Billy Bad A$$! Nice design on the herculiner. I would hate to rear end you!

 

Looks good, need an overall shot of the truck though, final result type thing with the tape off

 

nice lookin 1st gen

 

thanks guys the weather has been pretty rough the last few days so i havent got a full shot with everthing on there yet but i'll try tomorrow

 

too bad you couldn't put a stripe, the same color as the masking tape, right along the lines between the herculiner and the white paint.
I think that'd look sweet with the blue separating the white from the black.

nice ride.

 

Love the bumper. I am hoping to do something like that on my 2nd gen.

 

if it ever stops raining i'll wash it haha. but here is the final product

 

Nice!! Nothing runs like a dear.

 

nothing runs like a toyota too.

 

YAY another Tennessee guy!

 

where you at in tennessee

 

COOL herculiner job!!! I really like how you did the tail gate!

 

here she is all clean, well for the most part.
i'm about to get a ramsey winch bumper so i'll post some pics when i get it.
it's pretty much free because i got my friend a super sweet deal on a 97 taco with 35s, 5.29's, arb air lockers, the sweetest bumpers ever with half an exo cage, and its been bobbed 14 inches. i wish i wouldn't have told him about it but atleast i'm getting a bumper out of it haha.

 

Looks pretty good! I like how its lines match up with the stock plastic behind the rear wheels.

 

I can't imagine how much banging those rear shackles do back there being that loose.

Just out of curiousity, did you paint over the herculiner at all after applying it? Herculiner doesn't have any UV protectant and will fade badly pretty quick. Just curious, since some people paint over it.

 

naw but i got some uv protectant on order
as for those shackles some felt like they needed my others more thad i did

 

i think you need a couple more stickers...
just kiddin... im part of the stickered up club too...

 

ha its an addiction man i've gone to rehab twice.
when i totaled my last ride all i was upset about was losing my stickers

 

well i sold my kayak on craigslist, and i was on my way to take it to him.
i was driving down the road at 45 mph, 5 under the limit. im the only car headed in the direction i was going and about 100 foot ahead a car just pulls out in front of me so i locked it up and tried to swerve they didnt speed up or try to stop or anything. after we hit both cars spun around like three times i got out super pissed ready to pull them out of there car but then i noticed they were pretty messed up they ended up getting cut out but they weren't to serious. i had to go in the ambulance for a pretty bad headache and spasms in my neck. i'm 98 percent sure that my 4runner is totaled i guess it gives me a reason to fine a 85 4runner. i'll post pictures when i get them. and im also going to try to buy mine back so i'll have alot of 1st gen parts might make a woods truck out of it or part it out.
