    Well had my surgery yesterday. In at 9am home by 6pm he had to do more work so now it went from 6-8 weeks to 12 weeks. Would have liked to make the beach next week as well as some of the mod help days but won't be happening. Rob I like the new mirrors much better in black.

    I know, but I'm a big fan of the ARB-style bumper and this thing is very similar. I haven't ruled out the Optima yet, I just had to buy tires for Kendra's car. A granite curb jumped out and ate 2 of hers, sneaky little bastards :rolleyes: If I sell off my whole front end, light bar, fogs, PIAA's, switches and bumper, I can damn near swap out for the TJM. So.. the wheels are turning :D

    Get well soon, Billy! Glad to hear you made it out of surgery alright.

    Is this the new car you just bought!? Damn she must want another new car lol. Buy her what she wants and take the money out of the wedding fund. Nothing is more amazing and memorable than a civil union at town hall!! I'll throw in the t-shirt tuxedo as an early wedding gift. :rofl:

    Might be interested in that light bar if it'll fit my truck.... Thinking about ditching the brush guard, but it's hard to sell... :notsure:

    Yea Rob, the black mirrors make your truck look beefy, especially with the black wheels and sliders (when they're installed). Chrome is just too flashy for an off road rig. Plus chrome is just overdone everywhere, on every type of vehicle.. I'd rather have flat colors, brushed metals, or just real subtle chrome accents here and there.

    Are the tires on your truck now the ones I will be buying off you? They look awesome!

    Yep, it's the new one... And we did buy the one she wanted! I wanted her to get the Subaru but we found a good deal on the Accord and she liked it better. I think it's just a little wider than the hatchback and that was the issue.

    I'll let you know if I end up going through with it. I doubt I will because I really don't need a beefed up bumper like that for what I do. I just love the look and having the knowledge that if Bambi decides to Kamikazi on my front end, all I'll feel is a little bump :cool:

    Alex, I just checked NFab's website and they don't even list that they sell a light bar for a 4Runner. It might fit, but it could also take some modification...

    Mine was an ordeal! But now I know what is involved, I can market it to my 4Runner gauge customers and make a little extra money! Woot!

    rcbs makes the boards by hand I believe. I guess it's not overly hard to do.

    No, they use an incandescent bulb with a deflector. Drop in LED bulbs won't work with the deflector.

    He designed them and had them patented and produced. It's a very quality looking product!! And it's made in the USA.
