    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    The silver on silver combo is sharp. Real sharp. I dig it.

    I hadn’t seen it done before so I wanted to give it a whirl. It’s growing in me more as I’ve run it. The initial “this is very different” effect has worn off. I’ve since completed “winter mode” by pulling my light bar and Pro parts up front.

    Now that I have a set of steelies, right out of the box, I can see bare metal in some areas. I am going to paint. Hard to tell what finish some of you have done. Flat/matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss?

    I had mine media blasted and powdercoated. The finish is more of matte.

    I used semi-gloss. To me it looks the most like a factory finish. In real life it looks a little bit less shiny than it appears in photos.

    I used a semi gloss Rustoleum Professional. However the local Lowes no longer has the grey I used and its not on their website anymore either.

    I tried smaller sections of semi and satin. Hard to tell unless the whole thing is painted.

    I went all in on gloss. Not sure how I feel yet.

    Thanks @diabetiktaco The more I look at the gloss, the more I like it. And I like that I don't have to spend the effort to repaint 5 wheels. Now on to the hand wringing of tire selection!

    Best all around tire for off road, street, sand, snow, wet roads, etc is the Goodyear Duratrac. I'm on my third set and I'd get them again. 40,000 miles of hard use and they have plenty of tread.

    Some cleaned up shots.

    These are the FJ 17" steel wheels with Nokian Hakka R3s in 265/70-17. I swapped out my Pro grill and fog lamps so they don't get potentially broken by snow/ice. Yes, I know I left my LED lamps in, but those are important for night driving, or something.

    Just picked up 4Runner spares today! They look great. I’m going to be painting them a semi-gloss black.

    Being that they’re brand new, do you guy think I need to sand them down first? Or do you think I could just get away with just primer and paint?

    Give them a wipe with 3M 7448 pad. That slight scuff will give the paint something to grab.
