4Runner is looking awsome. I think that's a good way to do things. I might have to look into purchasing an older body 4runner for my trail ridin vehicle down the line somewhere.

nice job
pardon my ignorance, but what is it you are coating the frame with.
I think you made that whole "wirebrush the frame" thing look too easy, but you have me rethinking the state of my frame. At this point I am using the pray and wash alot method to keep the Wisconsin salt at bay.

well i used a wire cup/wire disk/and flap disks to get the frame bare metal (where factory paint still stuck i left) cleaned it with brake cleaner to remove any dust or debris, then primed and painted it. this summer i plan on hitting it up again with POR-15 if it starts to rust again

Looks good. Rear definitely needs to be broken in haha it looks like the rear is not even flexing. Only other thing I would do is take care of the rust, great job...
