sometimes it just takes a little more motivation than we would have liked!

aaah..ok. i was all coz i rarely use 'lee'...i wondered if you worked @ trdparts4u.com or something since i ordered it from there & you being from dallas and all..


but yeah. so many parallels..like the twilight zone. lee was right..it does take a lil more motivation...but like i told the mrs...i can replace it now...or wait till i bust it up...

at least she knows how bad my rear one is...and thats gonna have to get 'fixed' soon too..shes all

its not really under the grill and lights..more like flush with the bottom. but it butts up right to those plates under the lights. it wasnt a perfect fit, but then again, its for a non NA prado..so im not surprised.

i actually ended up opening up one of the mounting bracket holes, drivers side.pretty much lowered it .5' so i could get that side down. otherwise, it would have been higher than the under-the-headlight plate.

...but with your fabbing skills...you are crazy for goin out n buyin a premade bumper in the first place!

        I used stacked 2x4 because im planning on beating the absolute sh~t out of it. the mounts are the original reese reciever mounts. I had to cut the top of the end to clear the crossmember is why they look funny. The square from the wings mounts to the side of the frame with two m12 bolts on either side. The tubing is 1/4" wall. The plan wasn't to look good, just be strong, but it turned out nice.
