Just finished installing the winch this morning, need to order a Hawse Fairlead for steel cable. Any suggestions?
The Marlin Bumpers are awesome 2 hrs 15 min. to install both - all holes lined up. Gettin there!

Sorry for the oversize image I reposted with better image

 

Very nice!

 

That's a beautiful truck. Congrats!

 

Thank's I really like where this project is going my sliders should be here in a week or so.
Getting ready for Colorado this summer so i am not going to do much more this year. But next year I want more flex and some 33's...

 

I hate you.

 

I think sometimes it's good to be hated on??

 

thats the nicest paint ive ever seen on an 1st gen. even before i started weeling mine and i had good paint it didnt shine that nicely

 

for you it is. I got an 85 white one that looks pretty good, I just have a soft spot for black 4runners in sweet condition. Like the one you have... here's mine:

 

Im sure those are nice bumpers, but they look very weak to me, like one good hit against a rock or tree and they would fold up into a bunch of twisted metal.

 

Mine or his??

 

I like the white paint for west texas it gets so hot here, My son and my wife wanted to go with the Midnight Blue, It does look black in low light. Not complaining though I really like how it turned out.

 

It still looks awesome. You can get those solar powered fans that clip on your windows to help circulate air. I know all about the black truck in the summer thing. not fun when it's 100+ outside! Steering wheel & shifter burns your hands and the seat burns your back!

 

I was talking about the Marlin Bumpers, im not saying that there is anything wrong with then, they just don`t look all that strong.

 

so what bumpers would you suggest? any brand? or jsut tube size?

 

Marlin bumpers are very strong. I've hit a number of things and there has been no damage to my rear one.

 

btw, texcat, 4runner looks good man....you're definitely gettin there.

 

Yea I don't think I have to worry about strength with Marlin Bumpers. They are really built well and the reinforcement and gusset angles all look right.
Thank's for the compliment on the 4runner project looks like you have a sweet one going yourself!
Next crossover steering.
