Now I have to repainted mine! I think I'm gonna go yellow or pink!

 

Fluorescent green... saw it at home depot hahah

Can someone tell me the size of the bolts required to bolt the skid plate?

 

I sanded mine down , and then repainted it with JOHN DEERE yellow. and then emptied 2 cans of clear in it.

 

yeah... does no one know what size the bolts are? would be kinda helpful.

 

They're 12mm heads- so 8mm x1.25 (pitch) x ~20mm IIRC.

The stock skid is just a gravel guard.

 

Heres how it turned out, by the way.

 

what? you didn't straighten out all the louver fins so they're exactly lined up and symmetrical? what the heck kind of skid plate restoration thread is this???

hah, j/k. nice job, man. glad to see someone get detailed into even the little things. when i pulled mine out of a yard, i just sprayed it flat blk. looks like you're really into your Toy, and that's a nice thing to see.

have a good t-day!
Tj

 

Lol actually, I did straighten the louvers as much as I could... i just got a flat head screw driver and bent them...

Yeah, I love my 4runner, its my baby. hah... I find myself constantly dropping money in it just to make it that much nicer/better. I ordered TRD stickers the other day... lmao

 

hey! you're not allowed to put TRD stickers on until you install some sort of locker. it's toyota law!

i just made that up.

have fun with the truck, man. it's a money pit for sure. i can't stop either. i've already spent as much as i paid for it, and i still have another of that same figure ready to spend as soon as i earn it. or grow that money tree.

it is fun tho.

 

lol I couldn't pass up the stickers... I found the TRD 4runner stickers! hah
yeah... im probably damn near close. combined with the stereo, full exhaust, tires, rims, cb radio.... I spent 4200 on the truck. hah

 

i just installed my trd stickers. im a poser until i get my rear locker. oh well it looks damn good on my pickup.

 

lmao! how do they look? did you actually wash your truck? god damn it sucks not having my phone heh. I get mine this week. Im excited hahaha

 

no i just washed the area where they mount. they turned out damn good but two letters didnt transfer from the sheet, so the guy off ebay is sending me the messed up letters. it was only on one side.

 

wow really? so its kinda hard to put on then?

 

I'm actually getting my TRD decals today... not sure when though. just says they're in transit to my location

 

no its not hard, you have to be really carefull. i think i went to fast with taking off the transfer sheet.

 

oh ok. thats no biggie. did you do that on both sides? or just one of them

 

no just on the drivers side.

 

yeah got my decals just now. they look pretty damn good, just need to put them on

 

Looks good man. I just painted mine for the 4Runner (just went with black). The one on the truck is getting rusty again but I wont worry about it till the spring. We'll see how the painted one holds up this winter. These plates do a decent job of protecting the front from salt spray etc...
