Jake, same technique as here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=152355

Grinder, wire brushes, and then lots of POR15 prep, a lot more than the directions say. After it was washed off, let dry, then went at it with the gun.

the entire front end of my truck was virtually gone, the A-arms were missing probably a full 25% of their metal. One was so bad that I'm sure a pothole at speed would have collapsed it and sent the truck tumbling.

Any pics of your 4Runner? great trucks! just dog slow and bad on gas.
