Mr Rooster-> 4th Gen 4Runner build

[Martinjmpr]

Last time I checked online, the ARB was something like $1500, which seems crazy to me. IIRC the Demello starts at right around $1000 depending on how you want it set up (stinger, hoops, etc.) I've been thinking about a front bumper as well and the Demello is looking better and better to me.

The demello looks nice, but does shipping to canada just kill the price?

There is a local guy in WA that makes a 4th gen bumper. Price is about the same, but if you take a long *** drive it might save some shipping. I know it gets crazy to ship to canada.

Ive been happy with mine. His company is perkins performace.

Demello is about $1450 with the options I want. Shipping would probably be about $300. ARB is $1600 landed here. I could always go pick either one at the border if I had to, might save me a bit of cash.

I like the approach angle and the slim fit of the Demello. I prefer the grille guard and the hoops on the ARB as well as the fog lights/turn indicators.

I'll have a look see what I can find on Perkins. Thank you

I never liked Demello. Their stuff is flimsy IME.

There are some pics in my build, if you cant find any others.

Check out CBI front bumpers, I think they have the best lines of them all...

I like how they integrated the stock fog lamps and signal lights. Looks great.

Spent about 5 hours working on the Runner today. Managed to get the front coilovers, sway bar relocate kit, rear shocks and the tires done. Tomorrow I'm getting the alignment done and then I'll be installing the wheel spacers at some point. I also have to remove the rest of the XREAS system when I get a chance.












The ride height is at 37.25 inch front and rear (ground to fender) in the front. It's leveled with the rear air suspension on High setting. I have to figure out how to get the RAS to stay on High instead of coming back to Neutral once I start driving...

Got the alignment done today and followed Bulldog's recommendation on adjusting the rear air suspension sensors. Still haven't had time to install the SpiderTrax spacers yet.

Some daytime pics.

looking good! planning to keep the RAS?

 

[Lecoq]

Thanks. Yes, I plan on keeping the air suspension for a little while. I'll see how it does on the trail runs and go from there. Not too sure what to expect in terms of flex in the back with the airbags...

 

[AxleIke]

Wow, looks great!

 

[Lecoq]

Wheel spacers and Kenwood deck installed. Also got the headlights polished with the 3M headlight restoration kit. Worked amazing.

Who's that creeping in my window ah!

Just after 5 hours of work.


Still have to install the winch, compressor and LED lights I have. After that I'll be looking for sliders.

First trail run today.















Back home after a bath.
