Nice! I like the custom work, Looks good.

 

looking good! Is this going to be a one off or for sale thru Addicted? drool drool

 

Since you are local, we can build it on the rig itself for you.

Private Messaging now!

 

very nice that bumper looks like it can take a hit

 

Sides look a little jenky, but I like the rear. Reminds me of an all-pro with the clean tubes as a top step.

 

dude that thing is freakin sweet man. good job

 

Not sure what "jenky" means. I'm guessing... Awesome???

 

in my personal opinion...i think it would look a LOT better if the sides went all the way even with the fender flare..but that's just me.

Great work once again Scotty!!!!

 

x2. Although I suppose not everyones 4runner has fender flares

 

Scotty didn't build it, I did.

While I definitely agree it would have looked better, there's a couple of reasons it doesn't go below the flare (I did heavily consider it). The main reason is there is a ton of body movement in the 3rd gens in comparison to previous models and I would have had to bring the tube lower than I wanted to get it under there. Plus I have plans for that area so it is still a work in progress and I'm quite confident it will all work out the way I want it in the end.
Scotty was able to go much further forward with his due to not having flares.

 

John is my shop manager/fabricator. He built this all himself in his garage.

The design to mine is very similar, but its more of a collective idea between the two of us.

 

Looks good man. great job.

 

Looks sweet!

well John, you did an amazing job, i REALLY like this design...alot more so than the TG, MC, AP bumpers..lol
