Such an awesome 4runner, I'm jealous.

What fiberglass fenders did you decide to go with?

i enjoy the crap out of it! lol the fenders are from downey. well one is from my old 2wd that i rolled and one is a 4wd so the corner lights are different.
anyway heres some pics with the bumper all finished and the glass painted and the leaf spring swap... i thought i took some better pics of underneath but i guess not. Its foa shocks with 63 inch chevy springs... all hardware was bought from ruff stuff specialties... great company.

When you say all the hardware is from Ruff Stuff, does that mean you went with their 63" chevy kit? Just curious because I want to do the 63" Chevy springs but I want to find some way of mounting my shackles through or above my frame with longer shackles for more travel, but my marlin crawler bumper gets in the way of that.

Either way your 4runner looks great!

Sweet looking set-up Lowlife; really nice. Every time I think about wanting a TC IFS set up I look at this thread.
