First off i painted a fender. The before is the passenger side but the driver side looked about the same. The paint is rattle can acrylic enamel. It is Wine Red from 86 PU. Not too shabby for being done in my yard.

When i got the 4runner it had a generic brush guard on the front. After I hit the mazda car i have with the 4runner, long story, I had to replace the bumper and lights on the front. I took this to fix the bumper height to cover up the body lift gap. I also removed the valence panel. I like the look of it now better with the suspension bits showing.

I will eventually rattle can the whole truck. I have doors from an 86 truck that have matching interior to the seat i put in. They also have the little wing windows on the door which i kind of like.

Little things i can do now without spending too much cash. I have started a nest egg for a rear locker. Then I plan to get some more offroad suitable tires and get this thing muddy.

 

NICE WORK!!
looks great!

 

Thanks!! Only bad thing about wrenching on this truck is my list of things I want to do just keeps growing instead of getting smaller.

I have not decided whether i like the Wine Red or not. The paint tested well so I have to just settle on a color and get shaking!! Honestly it will probably end up black!!!
