    Painting my fenders with rustoleum trim and bumper rattle can. The prep job is no fun. No fun at all in 90-100 deg weather. Hope it's worth it and holds up.

    Haha, I could see that.

    Also, for anyone wanting to do this, I found that you could peel the fender back a tad and slip paper behind it so you don't have to use so much tape. Found that out after doing one side.

    I recommend using SEM Trim paint for something like that so they don't fade in 6-8 months.

    We'll see how this product holds up. It's gotten good reviews on Amazon. Wish I would have known about SEM but only time will tell.

    @Bruteforce Fab custom hybrid bumper. Reason being because my 4Runner is my DD for now since I sold my Altima. I wanted to keep it lighter than a full plate bumper. I thought Billy's bumper had the best hybrid design. Looks clean.

    My aesthetics are all jacked up with the color combo...well worth it though.

    I had no idea you had a build thread over here! Awesome job Rob, the 4R is looking sharp and coming together with some great components. Keep it up my friend!

    Thanks a lot Nate. Your 3rd gen was very inspiring. Been following your LT taco for a while now and am very jealous of your location! Beautiful scenery out in your parts!
