Short recap from the last 6 months.

Started with graphite 2 tone with current setup minus a few things.





August - Changed graphite 2 tone to army tan, borrowed the hood for the picture haha. Added Wet Okoles for the front seats and got taillights from an 02.

I got the Bushwackers and sport hood on a couple hours ago about to go out and break down the clear coat and build her back up.

I left the rear bumper caps off do you think I should put them on? I'll get some comparisons in a little bit. Also thinking about blacking out the silver grille inside the scoop, let me know what you think.

Those fender flares make it look so much nicer. 4Runners without either the black SR5 or the painted SR5/Limited flares look like they are missing something.

Agreed, I just picked up the Limited Flares, Will install them this spring after they get painted and the truck gets a good buff and wax job.

Truck is looking good dude!

+2. im just going to run some 1 3/4" tube over the wheel wells anyway, so no sense installing anything on mine. my chrome strips are coming off soon too!

The little grill in my hood is black and I think it looks better than a silver one would.

I want a sport hood. Gimme dat one!

Truck looks mean, I love the stance and can't wait to get my body lift and rear bumper done!

[MillerPKA]

alright thought i'd throw some pictures up of todays progress. finish coating the whole frame and wheel wells, axle, headers, exhaust and muffler. and thanks to Meguiar's Ultimate Compound broke the oxidation and water spots completely down to match with the new paint of the flares and sport hood. its the best the paint has ever looked. tomorrow we're finishing it up with the wax but i gotta head out now
