So my rear bumper had 3 little rust spots. So i grinded sanded bondo'd and primed then decided it would be nice to thro some flash to the rear end of my truck. I also diamond plated my skid plate in front. Cost a total of 19$ for all the diamond plate. I also put some on the hitch.

 

oo and i blacked out my bumper turn signal lights.

 

Looks good . That gives me some idea on my 4runner .(I don't even have a back bumper.. The previous owner took it off. ) nice job .

 

Did you screw it to the bumper?

 

Where did you get the diamond plate?

 

Also...
If you take a heat gun or a maybe even a hair dryer and heat that valance you can probably pop that dent out.


edit:
What is the N between the plate and the tire that shows up in the second picture but not the first?

 

Isn't that the ICBC Clan gang sign!?

 

diamond plate isn't really my thing, but i like the way you did the rear bumper!

 

I did screw it to the bumper with stainless screws then there was a little gap between the diamond plate and the real bumper so i got some window caulking and sealed it off. As for where i got it i got it from a metal fab market down the street from me. Its cheap if you go to there junk bin and see all the left over scraps. And That N means im a New driver. (18 years old) Ive never really been into diamond plate until now but i dont wanta over do it so i think this is all im going to do. It was just a cheap fix.

 

Ouch...thats harsh.

 

Is the N something the state puts on their or your parents? =) I'm curious.

 

And what state is that?

 

Its British Columbia,Canada...
Our provincial insurance company (we're private) makes all the new drivers with less than 3 years driving experience display an "N". Their normally bigger than that one, hes obviously cut his(which is illegal). Drivers with less than 1 year driving experience need to display a "L" for learner, and also need to be driving with a guardian or adult over the age of 25 and more than 5 years driving experience...

 

Yep, I rock the N I trimmed it the same way as you did aswell

Been stopped by a few cops (no tickets yet, woo) and they have never given me trouble about chopping it.



Pre-chop...



Anyways, diamond plate looks pretty good, gonna be a pain to polish that stuff after you get it all dirty

 

Gotta love when people turn the N sideways to make a Z. Bad arses right there. "Wuddup G-UNIT (...non-sensical moron-speak...) sick whip yo wid da Z on the back (more non-sensical garble)".

 

Oh yeah man! You can't make a big ol green N look cool... trimmed up is about as good as it gets

speaking of g-unit. Saw a douch in a escalade and his licence plate said " G-money" ....just no.

 

Looks ok but why would you put diamond plate on a skid plate?? I never understood why someone would put something that is designed to grip on something that is designed to slide over obstacles, not snag them...
oh well

 

i wont be wheeling my 4 runner at all just to get my dirt bike around. I have fun with that.

 

Then it suits what the truck is being used for

 

that "N" business is pretty wacky if you ask me! i guess itll be a big day whne you can take that off huh?
