First pic,
My rig with the running boards removed. I am making up a set of Jaos style mud flaps at the moment to keep the dirt off the side of the rig...

 

Next pic is of my clear side repeaters. I used standard Toyota/Lexus IS200 repeaters. The stock hole in the fender was dremelled out a bit and the stock plug just fitted straight into the repeater.
Nice and clean lookin' I think...

 

Nice looking 4Runner.......er........I mean Hilux Surf I see that you got a hoodscoop, when did you get that?

 

The hood scoop is standard. I have a 3.0l turbo diesel intercooled engine under there....
The scoop is functional, it channels air into the intercooler.

 

Oh thats right! I completely forgot you had the turbo in there. :pat: I just noticed that you removed your front bumper piece that you had on before.

 

Yeah, the bumper piece is sitting in the shed. I must update my avatar! I have a s/steel a-bar that I will fit as soon as I get the 2" RB lift on.

This is the style of mud guard I am making up. The genuine Jaos ones are way too expensive...




Oh, my mud guards will be blue!!!

 

What are you gonna do with the bumper piece?

 

I was just going to ask that....

 

Ha ha... Not doin anything with it guys.....! It needs a coat of paint, but if someone wants it, I can sell it.
Shipping to the states would be expensive though!

 

Is the tire carrier on that 3rd gen available in the US?

 

Here are a few (bad) pics of the push bar...

 

And another...

 

Don't think it would be easily available Jim. It's a japan only part. I could probably get part numbers for you, but the rear door is different. The swing out carrier locking system is bulit into the door...

 

do you have any pics of how the air is channeled to the intercooler, id like to see.

 

I'll get some pics in the morning Nolan. It uses a rubber skirt on the underside of the hood to seal against the top on the intercooler.

@ Jim...
I'll take pics of the tyre carrier and latch system in the morning as well
