mattleegee's build 00 sr5 4x4

Im looking at 2 different ones right now.. There is the Relentless one (forum sponsor) and a local shop Perkins Performance that i am going to check out on Monday

 

Ordered/paid for the winch bumper today
Should be done in 3 weeks! wooot

 

nice truck

 

i like your bed liner. overall, clean rig you have.

 

Wow, you did a great job cleaning that truck up. The black looks great and that wax job made a million times better!

 

good job on the truck. Big difference in what a little work does with the clay bar.

 

Got my front bumper on! Hopefully next week i will have time to finish my satoshi grille

 

Bumper looks awesome tight looking truck!!!

 

Hey can you post up a pic of the short throw shifter??

 

bumper looks great!!
I think is seen this in another thread? lol

 

i dont understand .... it doesnt look any different really

 

haha, yeah i HAD to make a 1st gen Winch bumper and then i had to update the build!

 

What kind of paint did you use on the chrome on your bumers? and hows it holding up?

 

Just the duplicolor truck bed coating for the rear bumper, its holding up allright, i kind of messed up a little bit and will probably do a repaint after winter

 

nice truck i like the bumper, its not to big for the truck. i love the black on red (my second favorite behind black on white).

 

where do you get a clay bar at? and how much was it to line the bed, (if you dont mind me asking) im lookin at gettin mine done.

 

I bought the mothers kit, came with 2 bars, towel, and showtime bottle, like $20 then your gonna want to get a power ball or be able to hand wax.

Really depends on what shop you goto for that, i was quoted at one shop for $575 and then went into another shop (smaller) with $450 cash and got it done, it depends on prep work, prep fees, under the rails, over the rails, and thickness, you should find a few shop and compare, and cash talks!

Still thinking about it! not sure if i can go all the way

 

when you painted the stock bumpers and grill what type of paint and clear coat did you use? im doing the same to mine and yours matched up really well.

 

i used bedliner on the chrome bumper parts

then the for the grille i used the basic clear coat you buy at the autopart store for $4 a can with 2or3 coats and the paint was a krylon black, but plastidip might be a better option as people get good results with that also

i miss this truck
Since i have bought and sold a 2000 red 4runner also, i keep coming back to these trucks but then selling them!! (still own the 350z which i got right after selling this 2000 taco)

 

check out my build thread i could really use some pointers haha this is my first truck
