My new look

[619TOY]

Well, as many of you know, I really scrambled to get my back bumper done for Baja. In addition, my Shortbus bumper came in on Tue. I just got it on. I don't have a winch yet because I think my $ would be better spent on gears. Here are a couple pics of "my new look" so you'll recognize me:

Look great Steve! I know you will like the angles of the Short Bus a lot better. So didi you make someone a screamin' deal on that Warn with the pimp arse installation?

Looks great Steve. I sure wish I could have bought your "old" arb bumper.


Always impressed with your attention to detail.

WOW. Freakin nice man. The bumpers complement each other well. Nice work.

Did you space your wheels? They looks like they sit out farther.

Gears? 5.29's?

Your LX turned out awesome.
Whatever happened to your 4runner?

Thanks guys.

I sold the bumper and winch to Miked here on SoCal80's a few months ago.

Originally I was waiting for Slee to do new batch so I could get one un-coated and have it coated myself, so it would match everything else I've added. In the end, I gave in and ordered one already powdercoated. I'm pretty sure I'll get it re-done

Actually I've had 1" spacers pretty much all along. I think the narrower bumpers make it look wider.

I'm really leaning towards 5.29's. I'm not too afraid of the breakage as I'll have them cryo'd by Bobby Long. My only reservation is that the lower you gear, the greater the liklihood of driveline vibes is. It's because your driveshaft is spinning faster relative to your speed.

If I do end up going 5.29's, I have a brand new set of Precision 4.88 fronts to sell. I believe that they are the "older", still made in the USA ones.

You can actually see it in one of the pics
Edit: OK I lied. I think you can see it in one of the pics I posted on 80's tech
I'ts still going strong but I only drive it to keep the battery charged.

Looks like it all matches to me??????? Sliders black, Rear bumper black, Short Bus black, and Cargo Box black......
