guess you don't want all that

 

I'm looking at this C4 hybrid bumper for the front. Does anybody make a hybrid rear bumper, or is there no such thing? Maybe something similar to match the front?

 

Can you find me some of these $50 bedsides?

more clearance is the only thing you listed he kinda cares about. Also, it’s his truck and doesn’t want to cut it.

how you gonna tell him to do it right the first time and spend more money when I just called you out for being cheap on oem washers being $.90 more than what you want to use?

 

There's a few companies of that style including WarFab

junkyards

 

Just passed 170,000 miles on the way home from New Hampshire.
Time for an oil change.

 

Those seem like a pretty good deal on OEM Pro headlights.

 

Kinda digging on that grill guard, but I want something more to protect my headlights. For some reason every time I go on vacation my headlights usually wind up getting smacked by branches or something.

 

Cute. Completely useless but cute.

 

Ever get this off?

 

Warfab is similar

 

No, unfortunately.

 

Added 4 inch pod lights to the lower grille but the licensee plate.

have you tried going from behind with something, and beating out?

 

added oem black chrome exhaust tip and oem cargo net. full story in build thread.

 

Front Diff serviced.
w/ Lexus nut-style fill and drain plug

Rear Diff serviced.
Transfer case serviced.



Fill plug hasn’t been torqued down yet, might look a bit loose.

 

Kinda makes you wanna do this to your shin blaster I bet…

 

Spacer lift gone. bug deflector gone. underbody neon gone. New swaybar links and brakes installed. Now we can begin with some real modifications!

 

Did the Uni filter conversion for the secondary air pump filter. Took a few minutes, because several places had plastic clips. The factory filter was in good shape, but the Uni is easier to deal with all around. It does change the sound when the pump is running at start up and shut down. I think it has better flow than the OEM fiter.

probably the closest you’ll get is welding steel plates into a tube bumper. Not much of a point.
