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 actualy look for her to say the 86 is hers when I get it closer to finished. she has always liked that one more and as good as she is to me she can have it if thats what she wants LOL.

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.

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!

Hey Jerry how you been? I'm happy so far with how this runner is turning out, it does great on the trails. And a new front bumper is in the works.

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've been 'doodling' a custom fuel can carrier for my rear bumper......right up until I saw your pics. Not sure I want to protect the body of the truck, with 10gallons of gasoline.
Great pics! Envious!

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.

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.
