new bumper!
Got my new MC rear bumper on today. I had it powdercoated satin black. TG sliders to come next weekend.
Factory bumper and hitch removed.
MC Bumper on.
Spare tire rim was powdercoated in satin black as well. I need to mount it on my full size spare sometime this week.
We also test fit some worn 35x14 tires and I was quite impressed how well they fit under the 4runner. the 14" wide tires obviously would rub a bit but with a 12.50, I could fit those with little to no rubbing.
So since I know I can fit 35's with the way it sits now I am thinking about possible moving up to a 35 or 36 when I do the sas. I'm also looking into options for fuel cell placement.. I need to get it up and out of the way but I don't like the idea of it taking up space in the back of the runner. So i fyou have a suggestion.. shoot it my way.

Re: new bumper!
Of course you notice these things! lol Its getting it taken care of this week though... I was holding off on it until I got the bumper on so I could get my tailpipe relocated at the same time.
