Body Lift and Clear Corners....w/Pics!
Ok, so I finally got myself a little bit of lift and some style. I ordered the 1" Roger Brown body lift, and some clear corners from Burtman Industries (both members here), and I decided today would be a good day to put both on.
Big thanks goes to both Roger Brown and Jason Burtman for their help in getting me this stuff.
Here's the car before:
Clear Corners on:
Before Lift:
After Lift:
Sorry if the pics are huge....

Looking real good, how long did it take to install the body lift? You should paint your valence black, I just painted my valence that I had laying around a couple of days ago but I haven't installed it yet since I still have to apply a coat or two of black and then finish it off with 2-3 coats of clear coat. Here are a couple of pics, it only cost me about $15 to do everything.

I never even thought to paint the valence black, that's a good idea! It's something subtle, but looks really clean.

It looks realy good. It actually looks like more than 1 inche, what did you use to jack the body off the frame. do you have any pics of you jacking the body up. I used to have a runner just like that, same color, I totaled it 3 months after i had it though.

Below is a pic of the 4runner jacked up. I actually just used the Toyota stock jack with some blocks of wood laying around.
Before the 4runner, I had an Acura Integra, and 2 days after I got it, someone rear-ended me in a F150 4x4, his tow hooks made dents on the top of my bumper. Needless to say, I got rid of the small car and got a 4runner. Best decision I ever made.

No its not aftermarket, thanks for the compliment. I used very fine sandpaper on the valence, it was so smooth when I was done sanding, make sure the surface is clear of any dust, grease etc. before you apply any paint. I applied 1 coat of primer, let that dry for 2 days, sanded it again but not too much, again make sure its cleaned. I sprayed 2 coats of black and let it dry for two days. I am going to put another coat or two of black on to the valence, but I am not sure if I should appy clear coat or not.
Paint I used:
Valence Primered:
Valence Waiting To Be Dry:
Valence Done:

Looks awesome man! I'm about to get a 1" Roger Brown BL myself...then I'll have to find some place to take it or find the time and knowledge needed to do it myself!
Rig is looking good, I have a black 2nd gen and I will NEVER get any other color than black, I LOVE black cars, especially the 4R's!!
