    Looks awesome. Is it the picture or do you have your rear axle shifted forward some? It just looks like the tire is just about touching the front of the wheel well.

    are you talking about that rubberized stuff? kinda like bedliner?

    I had origanlly done my fenders with that. didnt like the way it was textured so i re-did them with bedliner. BEDLINER is the way to go. then gave it a coat of krylon satin black. My front bumper and grill i left with the rubberized coating. That came out decent.

    I just did my CRV (both bumpers and side fender moldings) with bedliner. Came out great!!

    I have had issues with rustoleum bedliner cans. get halfway thru the bottle then it doesnt want to spray :mad: Hate when that happens

    Nice.

    Is that off a 4runner or something? I've always felt sketched out with my glove box not being locked.

    This rig is so sick... but just when I thought I couldn't be any less motivated to get out of my sleeping bag in the middle of the night to drain the vein....

    Yes sir it is! Got it from a guy on T4R.

    Whoever decides to do this, make sure to get one from a 96-02 4Runner. I read that any earlier than that won't work for some reason.

    Super simple. Just unscrew those 2 screws seen in the pic and swap em out.


    Had to take it to a locksmith to get fitted for new, working keys though. Cost me around $30 total for this mod.

    Get a 1/2" inch tube about 15 feet long, put the weiner in, and drop it over the edge of the tent. Sleep and pee.

    I thought it was supposed to bond to bare aluminum to give the paint a good base to stick to. I chipped my wheels with a socket on an impact gun and the chip spread, including the self etching primer, revealing the bare aluminum. I saw no difference between self etching primer and paint vs. things that I've just painted in the past. You can do what you want but I didn't use it on my toolbox and its holding up great. Only time will tell
