Well I haven't done much lately but I did get to por15 my rock sliders and some spots on the frame.

I installed a safari snorkel 2 days ago. It's made by Airflow Gibson RM Pty Ltd.
The part # is S092 right hand fit petrol & diesel hilux surf applications.

I got it from here. http://store.expeditioneers.com/4runner2.html
It's this one :

It fits decently runs along the fender line. I'll try to get some pics up in the next few days.

 

Here's some update pics of my 4 runner with the snorkel and some cleaning up.









Next on the mod list is bumpers.....
And no my 4 runner isn't a show and shine....It has way too many bush pinstipes...

 

Home depot spray paint for the win! It looks like you painted over the lug nuts. Based on that I'd venture to guess the tires are painted too now, and there wasn't much prep. I'm surprised there is no overspray on the fenders

 

There. Fixed it.

 

BTW there is no overspray so your chopped pics are a exaggeration.
The rims were painted by the Previous owner so all I did was touch them back up so they looked 1/2 way decent instead of scratched up flat black.
The way I look at it: it's going to cost over $1000 to fix what dents dings scratches already on my 4 runner.
Why worry about bling on a trail pinstriped ride??

Also in my eyes you have quite a opinion for a newbie.
You've only been a member for less than 2 years. The first link you posted was about your swaybar end links.
Anyone who really offroad's their vehicle either get's disconnects or completely removes them.
