So here is one of my current projects, a hood scoop. I wanted to find one that would somewhat resemble the new Toyota ones, but wanted more definiton due to the FJ62's body style. I chose the new Roush F150 scoop. It's bolted on, and no it is not functional. Not sure if it will ever be, would make the snorkel pointless. I tried matching the original paint, needs some more buffing, but the color doesnt look too far off until I have the whole Cruiser repainted. Next is filling in the small gap where is rests on the hood to give it a more "all one piece" look. It sure gives the Cruiser a new look :D

Nice cruiser. ; )

That's an awesome 4Runner!

good looking 4runner. how do those lights work up there? do they shine off the hood like lots of people claim or are they ok for you? how are they mounted? do they git in the way of the hood or anything opening?

also, VERY nice landcruiser, im jealous!

Thanks. Mine do not shine off the hood. Just straight into whoevers rear view mirror I want. Lights up the whole car in front of you.....the two on the front help with that too. People think police are on them lol. No hood trouble. Mounted on the outer side of each windshield wiper.

I like that Roush scoop. One might make in onto my 4Runner...

Nice Cruiser, what are the cables for?

knocking away brush and tree limbs if I remember correctly.. keeps the windsheild from getting smashed

how are they mounted? pics? i've wanted to do that but have heard a lot about shining off the hood and whatnot. i also havent looked into mounting systems yet

I'll get some pictures for you tomorrow. Mine dont shine off the hood at all.

nice rigs, maybe onday ill get there....if i hadnt wasted all that money on jeeps the past few years :cry: id have sommmore good mods on my runner. this might be :horse: but im so glad ive gone yota now

This photo should have been submitted for the 2007 YT calendar. I would've voted for this one. GREAT photo.
