OK, I'm not busting your balls this time, but it looks like your brush guard isn't lined up properly. It should sit more snug, closer to the lights with less of a gap between the fender and the guard, as well as a little lower, parallel to the bumper.

Well The height is right as the way it wounts there is no way to adjust that and it looks right.

As for it being closer to the lights, yeah it could go a little closer but I didn?t for 2 reasons. 1, when it is closer to the lights there is more of a chance of it hitting them and braking them if you hit something rather than protecting the front. 2, when it pulled it in closer it looked cockeyed. I think that I have the mout off just a tad on the lower ones or something but I did?t feel like fixing it as I didn?t really want it any further back anyways.

1 thing I do like about the grill guard is the aggressive look it give the 4runner. It really does look better with it (and no I don?t care what anyone says about it LOL)

Has anyone mentioned the door edge trim on the wrong part of the doors and hood, I just noticed after about the 10th viewing. Keep going back and you will miss the amazing amount of detail that allows this depth of discussion.

Yeah, that is how it sits. I could adjust it a little but it looked best like that.

Yeah, I did that to see what it would look like and I think it looks pretty good actually. Adds some nice lines to it and only costs $7.

Some people's children...This is why some people shouldn't be allowed to shop in the auto acessories aisle at Canadian Tire...or whatever you've got in the US...But, to each their own. As long as you like it...and can keep your lunch down while driving it.

Canadian Tire, ahnope seeing as the name is Canadian Tire I don?t think we have those here. We have pep-boys and autozone! And ebay of course!

Like it as it sits now? Yeah, it is ok. With the blue lights off it will look better.

As it will sit once I am done, oh, yeah it will be mine then (of course I don?t think anybody will disagree that it is not mine now..)

And yeah i don't mind being seen in it, these mall are hard to navigate and people always admire mine for the way it can pound the pavement!

I'm pretty sure the Manik is a one piece for our truck.
