My 98 4runner transformation

http://picasaweb.google.com/ryan.ied...eat=directlink

Just some of the things I've done to my 98 since i got her in december.

Recently I painted the chrome bumpers and installed front and rear cameras. Moved the blinkers up into the clear corners and filled the old blinker holes with some hella ff75 fog lights. I still need to get the set of hella 500ff driving lights for the top front bumper.

The lower front frame is going to have shackle mounts and a 2" receiver built in and a small skid up to bottom of the bumper.

My savage sliders will be here next week!!!!! can't wait

Can you give a step-by-step as to how you prepped and painted your bumpers? How has it held up?

Thanks!

Garth,

Basically I took off the bumpers and scuffed them up really good with a wire wheel on a 4" angle grinder. Then sprayed them off with brake cleaner.

I sprayed them with truck bed liner in an aerosol can then top coated with a a duplicolor gray textured finish.

So far it has held very well. It hasnt worn or chipped yet. I figured it was worth the $40 until i get front a rear tube bumpers installed.

Bumpers look good, I may have to steal that idea too!

Thanks. It doesn't have to hold up to much longer on the front.... I just ordered a front tube winch bumper from Scott at Addicted Offroad!!!! Should be here next month! I think I will use the same process on that as i did with my stocker
