Nice, post some pics of that front bumper! Is it homemade?

yeehaw1

Suprisingly enough, it don't look that bad...

I will definitely do that... give me a few days... got some work going on it right now, and then I will post some much better pictures. What you see there is exactly how I picked it up... drove it from Virginia to South Carolina. Ill be doing a few things to it... slowly.

yeehaw1

can't wait to see what kinda mods your doin in the meantime i will be patientlly waiting here lol

I noticed your profile pic is a hog hunter sticker, Glad to see someone else on yotatech hunts em. Just hope they ain't tearin your land up too bad!

Forgot I had this picture... Its kind of grainy because its from a cell phone... this was getting gas on the way home from the purchase. Im still trying to figure out if this bumper is homemade.... Let me know your thoughts!! Ill post better pics when I get them.

That is a nice bumper... I think it's homemade, because I haven't seen one made exactly that way before, i've seen a couple similar, but no exact macthes that i can think of...
Lookin forward to some better pics.

Is that hood scoop functional? can you snap a couple pics of it too? i've been thinkin about puttin one on my 87.

Ill definitely get some good all around pics in a couple days. The scoop is actually not functional... kind of just cosmetic I guess. The guy said he left it on there for fear that the paint might look better under it if he took it off. I think I agree with you... Im thinking that the bumper might be homemade... And when I get pictures up here of the whole truck... you might think the same about the back bumper with the swing out spare tire mount... pretty cool bumpers I thought. By the way... I love to hunt hogs!!! Sticking a hog with a knife is a HUGE rush!!!

Ah too bad, i was hoping to get a pic of how they cut the hole for the scoop... He's probably right though, the sunfading could have messed with the color some.
Hm, i'm really quite interested in seeing the rear bumper now.
I have to agree, i really like that front bumper from what i can see of it.
Me and my buddies, haven't got to try stickin a hog yet, but you can bet we will sometime! We ain't quite got a dog trained to bay hogs yet is our main problem... But Shootin em's definetly a thrill, and they ain't easy to put down either!One of the harderst critters i've ever hunted in my life, they don't pattern, they don't return to the same spot 2 nights in a row. Nothing I've learned while hunting other critters seems to apply to Hogs. The one thing i like best about hogs, is that a spotlight don't seem to bother them. (too bad theyre eyes don't glow in white light)...IMHO there's a thrill to be had just trying to find the hogs.

Btw Welcome to Yotatech!

gentlemen!! some of you guys have AWESOME PAINT JOBS!!! ^ ^ ^ ^ I have been wondering, for those DIY guys out there (cuz thatll be me!) what have you guys been using for your paint?!? I am especially interested in those who have been going with the ~olive green/military green look on your rigs. i absolutely love that look and would love to replicate that style. I am looking for a DIY spray job that wont look too bad. Some of you guys have truly done a stellar job and it seems as if this green look is almost a "matte" finish in its lack-luster finish. I LOVE IT!!! can someone please shed light on a newbie as a 3-day old owner of an '85 4runner!?! thanks guys!!

85JTRunR

Thanks Daniels85!!! Nice to get a compliment. Dude... your paint is perfect... looks great!!! Did you do that yourself?? Is that in your garage?? I was actually looking for a more "stock ride height" like yours when I started looking... but I ended up with one that was pretty high... but thats ok... didnt bother me too much... haha!!
