I was at Universal Citywalk last weekend and parked on an empty side. When I came back a stock '02 Tacoma IDENTICAL in color and specs to what mine used to be was parked right next to me.
I thought my eyes were playing tricks
Kind of cool to see a direct comparison like that... not that I've had THAT many changes to it.

. my office has an armed guard in the parking deck so if somebody tries to get in my runner, their going to be air conditioned quickly.

AARRRRRRRGH... this waiting is killing me. I've already read the instructions 100 times (there's not much to read, pretty straight forward)... I want to get this thing on and broken in. Fortunately, I've got a meeting in 5 minutes that should last about till the end of my work day. That'll get my mind of the bumper... at least for 10 minutes anyways.

You could always search online for a pic of a 4runner that looks like yours, download it, use a picture program and "draw" a TJM onto it.
That should keep your attention for a while.
WARNING: it may INCREASE the need to go home after you are done!

I like parking next to grocery grabber SUV's too. It degrades them to nothing more than a station wagon.
This past weekend I helped my friend intall a 2" lift on his 98 Cherokee Sport. When we finally finished, he backed it out of my garage and my 4Runner happened to be parked right next to it. He got out of his Jeep to take a look. I looked at his Jeep and said "It looks really good man". Then I saw him looking at his Jeep and then he glanced at the 4Runner and said "yeah but it would look much better if it wasn't parked next to your truck." :pat: I couldn't argue with that. And the TJM puts the icing on the cake.
Enjoy Jacksonpt! Get those pics up right away and don't forget to send one to Mad Chemist for the collage.

I too am guilty of looking over my shoulder as I walk away from the 4runner. And i also try and park next to other 4runners or toyotas. SOmetimes the owner is there when i come out of wherever I am and starts asking questions about my truck. I kinda like having something that makes people ask questions,

When I went to lake Havasu and I was out on the water I would start telling all my friends from like 100 yards out "Hey look there's my truck being all sexy and stuff" Then we'd get to shore and I start with my "Dang, that's a sick truck". My girlfried says I love my truck more than her. I just change the subject.

I LOVE parking next to Heeps and making them look small!!
Back on the subject of TJMs, I think I am gonna have shackle hangers welded up to mine too. I tried calling Rockstomper a couple times, but their line was off the hook. I know they make shcakle hangers, I think Downey does too. I might shoot them a call...
1 more thing, back from class, and still NO TJM :cry: I have to go to work at 7 tonight, so I don't think I will be installing today even if I get it!:pat:
