Lol i feel like everyone on here likes the 4Runner more than i do! Don't worry, i'll be back with a bigger and better yota! Hopefully an early 90's extended cab pickup.

I was very busy this weekend. Along with getting the house ready for winter, i did a lot of work to the 4Runner! 
I added a brush guard and painted it with spray-on bedliner. It's a genuine Toyota brush guard that i picked up for $25. I had to grind the rust off, prime it and paint it with the bed liner.
Before
After
I also bought a safari basket, i paid $75, and just like the brush guard, i ground down all the rust, primed it and painted it with bedliner. I also attached it to the removable top. BUT i made it removable and with the addition of a plate it could be attached to the top of the truck EVEN WHEN THE TOP IS OFF!
Pics (they aren't very good
if you want a diagram i can draw one lol)
If you guys have any questions feel free to ask!

Hey Brian,
Cool lil projects you got goin there.... I'm a lil confused, but assuming that you're keeping it from what I last read.....most recently, lol. Anyway, where'd you score the guard?(PS> I don't think the light guards look bad at all....especially once you get a lift, etc. I just don't like the ones with the lil wire lines through them to protect the headlights....LAME, lol. These look pretty good to me) Either way, however you like it.
The rack, just a thought... Maybe space the front and rear more and drill out some holes in the center for some shorter spacers, just to keep any weight from being unequally distributed. Can't see enough from that pic, so maybe it's so already.
PS> Saw another one today, fully yellow, top and all... all black trim...thing was SICK! 35's, Buick 3800 V6, EVERY MOD KNOWN TO MAN, lol. I know you said you're going with black...just gotta say, seen both, black and yellow top....liked the yellow better. Either way it'll look nice.
