1988 toyota 4runner

[foonanas]

Here is my 1988 toyota 4runner that I have been working on for a while. It's my DD.
this was after I got it back from being soda blasted.





had some some work done to the tail gate area. It always had a dent under the pass side taillight. got that fixed with a few other rust spots and dings.











found some rust after taking out the wind shield.



Noticed a big rust area on my rhino lined bumper I had to fix.



started with the top and then to the body























had a little bit of a run on the bottom of the top.



almost done. now I just have to put it back together and put my wifes business logo on the side.









do not pay attention to the herculiner that is for something else!!!

What type of liner did you use and how long have you had it on for?

curious as to how it is holding up

About 3 years ago I did the complete truck in black with the roll on bedliner you get from wal mart. (dupli color i think) I bought an under coating gun and used that. I think I did 1.5 gallons on the entire truck. Then I bought some gray stuff off ebay and two toned it. After 3 years of that it started to flake off here and there.

So i decided to look for something new. The rhino and line x guys wanted $3500 to do the outside. I did some research and went with Al's Liner www.alsliner.com.

I used their texture gun and added my own pigment.

I did have the entire truck Soda blasted and then POR15 all of that inside and out.

The guys at Als were awesome for tech support. To cover up all the black por15 I needed 5 gallons of the liner. So far I can tell its 100 times better than the other stuff i used.

wow , Very NICE ...

I have heard of lots of guys doing the "ryno liner" on the exterior , curious about the "added weight" , be interesting to run it over some scales and figure ou the new weight .

[foonanas]

honestly it can not weigh that much more. maybe 25 lbs?? 5lbs a gallon x 5 gallons??

[foonanas]

I just got the word on the weight. It's just under 10lbs a gallon. so less than 50 lbs. Is that a lot? I am sure compared to paint its not.

[Slacker]

it's heavier then paint , but much less then I was thinking ..

thats good to know !!

did you find some mouldings ?

Looks really good! Im kind of regretting doing my Gator Gaurd by myself but so far its holding up good!
