What've You Done With Your GX470 Lately?

True. Coastal requires you to cut. My stock one is pretty trashed, so I'd have to buy a new cover if I ever went back to stock anyway.

 

It would take me longer to weld it up then waiting the lead time and the finished product would be crooked

 

^^^^^^

I get it. It's not for everyone. I have the equipment and the time. It's actually pretty straightforward and they make it easy. I make no guarantees as to the "straightness" when done, but it'll be good enough. Should only take a a day to be honest.

 

the nice thing about the victory tho is you can do it in steps. get bumper. save up more money for swing out. save more for license plate relocate. etc etc.

 

Could do the same with the Coastal, but again, I get it.

 

Sleeping platform for the Starbucks parking lot bang sessions

 

Spent the majority of the day in prep (chasing all existing holes with taps, drilling/tapping new holes, compressor relocation, grinding frame smooth etc). Finally got around to laying some glue toward the end of the day. Starting to look like a bumper...

 

This is happening

 

What snorkel is that?

 

1st gen Taco/3rd gen 4Runner

I like this design compared to the prado type


I’m running into some very much expected clearance issues but have a low profile type connector and some upgraded intake pipe on the way to bridge the gap from the snorkel to factory air box.

 

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I like that style as well.

 

Bumper is all tacked together. Got it removed for the final welding...

 

Good looking welds!

 

No more hood struts.

 

Tried of knocking this loose.

 

feel free to send those my way. Got a few that are scuffed and we’re the same color.

also, 4Runner hood prop?

 

1982 mini truck hood brace. I’ll save them and next time I head down that way I’ll bring them for you, you can have them.

 

Started making the front bumper closer to the body since the flares are gone.

 

And got the templets made
