Other than the denty stuff it looks like you had a great day. Quite a bit of daylight 'tween the ground and your left front in that one pic. Yikes! Looks like a great place to play...on a dry day. 
Really liking the bumper too.
So when's your wife getting her own 4Runner???

I already started a bumper for the 86 but with all the time that has went by and the ideas and plans have changed Im not really happy with it so somthing new will be happining with that one and since I promised the wife I was done spending money on this one for awhile I will be starting back on that one soon. you make your way to this part of the country and we will build you what ever you man.
#187
YEAH, I WISH! hahaha... I wish I could make it to "that end" of L.A. County, ya know? hahaha.... Thanks for the offer, buddy... I WILL make it happen, one day, NO doubt! Give you my word, long as I'm alive... I'll be fighting for some time to take that trip, and MUCH in-between!
Ok, ..... can't you just try a few out on yours, ....then I'll pick the style I want, and SHAZAMM! lol.. JK, ... but I REALLY love that bumper, man... it's VERY nice, familiar even(due to the common parts from others), but it's BOTH of my fav's, ya know? GRRR! lol. Seriously... congratz, man... great work on that!

ok just a couple of the carnage lol.

I also have a bent lower link in the rear. not complaining just shareing. fixed the pas side door and front fender flare already, took the hatch apart and tried to pop that dent out, not happining the window still works and it open and closes fine so I think it will just stay that way for awhile. Ive been wanting to build new links any way so nows as good a time as any.

I love the exspadition style bumpers with spare tire and can carriers etc they are really cool, but just not practical for me, I really wanted a tire carrier but after researching and seeing how many break do to being poorly built I just didn't want to attempt it. Thanks for the props man appreciate it.

100'S OF PICS????? .........where dey at? lol.... JK, the ones you posted were a good choice.... Still loving that "WOOOOOE, almost over" pic!
Wish you were closer, man.... I would love to lend a hand while you're away..... But then, I can't even do the simplest things on mine at this time, beCAUSE of so little time, .....so nevermind! hahaha.

Hey mark yea I tried to pick out the best ones, her future husband was the one with the blue tacoma so there were a lot of pics of it as there should have been she was just cool enough to snap some of the rest of us.
Hey racerflea not sure how to protect against that kinda damage. Don't wheel in the mud I guess but I'm not giving that up lol.

Oh I hear ya, was just kidding....... They're great pictures, Jason.... Wishing I was there! There ARE ways to protect the rear.... But maybe you could design a 'removable' stinger for the rear??? Just for trips like that? lol.
