So, I finished the final fender today, bedlined the inside with some roll on bedliner, and then rolled it with my usual Rustoleum Hammered black. They I always paint over the hammered black with a gloss black.

I usually do all of my rockers, bumpers, etc with the hammered and then gloss black look. It leaves a sweet finish IMO.





So, at this point, all I need to do is wire in the permanent lights, and get the licensing done on Friday morning.

it would look so cool if it had matching tires and rims to the 4runner. I love the way it looks, very useful.

It will eventually have 35s on it. Doubt that I will find another set of Hellcats easily though. The wheels have been discontinued since 2002. I was lucky enough to find four new in the box in three different states through Craigslist. It took me four months to find all four.

Finished it for the Jambo trip today. Registered, lights run, and shackles extended. Should have enough room for the 35s now too, although they won't be going on this trip.
