I say leave it on. The aux lights look like they need aiming - seem to be pointing way too low. Leave the grills off the taillights though.

 

The decision has been made, I'll be taking it off along with the Hella 500's and I'll be getting a new skid plate. I'll post some pics in a week or so.

Thanks to everyone who gave an opinion, I appreciate it!

 

keep it on. your grille would stand out WAY to much with it off.

 

ditch it and get the black 02 grill, back when i had 20"s it looked so much cleaner with no brush guard. heres a pic...

 

Well I kinda already sold my grill... lol

 

ditching is in order, makes it look smoother

 

buy a real bumper

 

I thought about getting a Shockworks bumper with no hoops in it, but wouldn't that look weird...? Or would it look good, with the 22"s and all..?

 

Will the grill guard for a 02 fit a 98? I don't have access to welding equipment so it would have to be pretty much straight bolt up. I know they changed the spacing to fit the fat lip bumper but is everything else still a direct line up? I am interested in the grill guard so let me know and what you would like to get for it? thanks

 

ditto! black it out!!

 

I say keep it!! But black it out... you never know when it might come in handy, I saved a ton of $ by keeping mine on, I rearended a ford taurus @ 40mph, the taurus had to be towed away and was totaled out by insurance, i drove home with a smile because it was not my fault and there was not a scratch to my truck

 

i like it it looks cleaner with out. lol

 

well if you sell the skid plate let me know and ill get it .lol.

 

Time for a quick update, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic!
But anyways, I turned the Hella 500's upside down. I might take them off, but I've got a skid plate on the way and I want to see what they look like with the skid plate on. Also I'm going to order some black headlights w/ black corners! I'll post more photos in a week or two!

 

I like it with it on but, I don't think the lights flow with the front.

I love my pickup and want to sas for maximum lift at some point but, if I wasn't looking to buy a Lexus for daily driving I'd go the same route with a 4Runner as you did.

Thats still one of the cleanest, sweetest Yotas I've ever seen that has been done tastefully in an "urban" style without ruining the overall looks of the vehicle!

 

damn that does look good, even with a cell picture. good work man. can't wait to see it w/ the blackout headlights

 

Time to 86 the grill, buddy.

 

Looks great! What are you gonna do with the old 99+ head lights?

 

I'll be putting them up for sale along with the clear corners or the OEM corners if that's what the buyer would prefer.

 

i think it looks cleaner too without the brush guard.. but honestly you can't go wrong either way it looks really nice
