Still waiting on the TLT kit to arrive, but the frame is done. The rear bumper is done and waiting to be mounted. The front bumper is next and then the full exo. I plan on a stinger style rear tire carrier, and possibly a stinger on the front.

I have actually owned this one for about 11 years, had a friend pick the kit up in Japan while he was stationed there.

Nope, 2 sets plus a spare for each rig! My next rig will be a swamper'd 'Cruiser.

Got to work on the front bumper, pics show a step by step of how I build a steel bumper. Starting with cutting the old bumper from the grill I lay it on the sheet and trace it for a starting point. The rest of the pics tell the story from there. I will hopefully get to finish this up on Thursday.

Hopefully I will wind up with something like that. Maybe with a stinger, but I haven't decided yet on that. Nice runner, BTW.

Bumper looks AWESOME! I was really looking forward to custom 4runner bumpers that Twisted has built(bought his 4runner) but the fawkin PO lost the truck :-( I was mad that I didnt do a custom front bumper on mine, cant do anything about it now because I would have to re do the exo

BTW 4RunnerKid your 1:1 is badass
