It was from someone nearby that has a 1999 that he is parting out and then donating what was left to the local high school. He wanted to know if I wanted any of the parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available for sale were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a CBI front winch bumper<\/li><li>a Rough Country 9500lb synthetic rope winch<\/li><li>a WM full roof rack with sunroof cutout (btw, WM went out of business, I think it had something to do with their design being very similar to Gobi\u2019s rack)<\/li><li>a Gobi rear ladder<\/li><li>an ARB snorkel kit<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We negotiated a bit and then we both walked away happy with the transaction. In addition, I got to meet a guy in the neighborhood who is an avid overlander. While he is currently in between vehicles, he did say he was in the market for a new rig to build for future adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me some time to get the parts cleaned up and painted. I used this as an opportunity to also remove the factory hitch, get it cleaned up and put on a fresh coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran into a snag with the CBI bumper. For a 1999, it is a bolt on installation right onto the factory frame rail plates. The 1996-98 3rdGens do not have this same frame rail plate. Instead, they have a little round bump-out that is contoured in the shape of the factory bumper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to call CBI and order the plates for my 1998. I then ground off the contoured bump-outs and then had the plates from CBI welded on. It was a bit of an unexpected hassle and expense, but I definitely am happy with the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/paintedbumperparts-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/paintedbumperparts-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/paintedbumperparts-1024x768-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/paintedbumperparts-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Ready to install! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife and I were getting back into the 4Runner from a bite to eat (and a few Margaritas) at our local Mexican restaurant and I saw a note under the wiper.
