Well took a little time today to finish up some of the interior added carpet and runner seats came out good imo still in search or sr5 door panels and center console

Old vs new


Passenger side


driver side

 

Nice and clean. Lookin good man.

 

Looks very clean work. Where is the carpet from? Have you done the SR5 maplight yet?

 

Looks good.


I just got the a/c parts pulled. I figure it's best that you see the cab so you know exactly where to put the holes for the r134 lines in the firewall. I'll pm you my number.

 

Got it from jc whitney got it for 100 $ they had a sale going on and not yet on the light just need to get one

 

Thank you sir

 

Cool thanks man I'll be getting ahold of you soon to pick that up

 

Thank you now time for the exterior

 

Well a little closer each day got me a 4 runner map light and threw in some leds and also painted and installed the 4 runner bumper looks good now to do the lights and grill.

 

Nice work. I dig the all black 4Runner bumper.

 

I'm liking the 4 runner bumper more and more. Think I need to get one now.

 

I have an oem 4runner grill and headlights with pigtails I'm looking to sell. 92-95 4runner parts

 

I'm wanting to do the same 4 runner bumper blacked out on my truck since mine is all black.

How did you end up painting yours? Remove the chrome or just sand and paint?

 

The right way to do it on chrome is sand/scuff the chrome, then use a self-etching primer (they sell them in spray cans too), then paint. The acid in self-etching primer will make sure that the primer sticks to the metal (chrome) and your paint will stick to the primer.

Just about any other way risks the paint peeling off.

 

Yeah, I've done painting for years, just curious how you went about with yours. The only way I've ever done it is have a local metal shop in my area dip it to remove the chrome first, then sanded and etched with 2K primer.

I'm hoping I find a black bumper to start with, but if not, I guess I'll go through that method.

 

Thank you i always see them and wonder should i do it .. but now thats its on i love it

Thank you i didnt think the chrome would look as good on my color of truck

 

Ahh i would take you up on it but front end i scored came with everything i even got the fans and part of sone ac stuff power steering the basically cut the front end off with a torch

 

i honestly just washed and degreased it all pulled it apart and then primed and painted then cleared all paint can i would usually have it done by the shop whos gunna paint the truck but i noticed That during the transportation or being in the garage the chrome part got dented so i really wasnt to worred about it since i will be looking for a dent free one and that one will be done right

 

Well as luck would have it my girls dad owns a paint shop and his buddy is trying to sell his toyota pickup xtcab v6 sr5 need new fenders and bumber bed is banged up but i can use it for more of a work horse and better daily but im really lookjng forward to bringing it hone because it has the stacker center console and sr5 manual doors
