I cut my rear fenders yesterday, I'm gunna get to the front ones next week sometime...

Here's a before picture:



I marked a 2 inch outline to where I thought I was gunna cut, but then when I put the scotch tape on, I decided to shape it a little different...





cut out...



Then I put on the pinch weld cover (used for the edges of car doors) to give it a finished look and trimmed that plastic black piece to match...final product

 

Here's one of the prettier side of the truck lol



I've got plenty of room for 35's now

 

Nice man!

 

I think the scratched side is prettier. Shows its been used. This is sweet build.

 

haha true... thanks guys!

 

Very nice looking truck. Who makes the rear bumper? I like how you don't have to cut into the metal for the side braces.

 

That's a really nice truck man! I like the direction you took with it; go before show! Dove right in with the drivetrain and armor! Very nice!


Keep up the good work on it!

 

Lift? We dont need no stinkin lift! haha. Still one of my favorite rigs! Gives me inspiration for mine forsure. Keep up the good work my friend

 

Thanks! It's a Marlin Crawler rear bumper..... marlincrawler.com ...great bumper btw


Thanks guys! I'm hopefully gunna get my ammo can center console put together today and cut the front fenders, I'll post up what I get done when I'm finished.

 

so when is the SAS...our trucks gotta stay twins!! And your falling behind!!! Nice write up though...I wish would have documented mine better!

 

I know! lol I gotta wait till I'm outta school and get a job and can buy another DD, I gotta drive my truck on the street too much right now and I just don't have the money...But I say in 3 years max I'll be swapped out!

 

This picture reminded me to go look for some new bucket seats. And I think I finally found them. So thanks

Build is lookin good

 

Scuba - I pulled some perfectly good SR5 seats from a local "non self serve" junkyard..not sure if you have any of those in so-cal. but they have some really good quality and good condition OEM toyota items... might wanna check there. I spent 100 on mine, and sold my base model bucks for 50.

 

I found a set of 03-08 Corolla seats for 50 bucks
They swap in to Tacos relatively easily

 

Was that from one of those yards up in Roseville area, I think there are a couple up there?

 

You're welcome lol and thanks! When are you gunna throw in a lefty or double yours up?

 

When I have 2 grand lying around I'll put in a dual setup. Goin 35's within the next 2 months, so that's gonna suck up some funds.

 

you have no idea how much i want to put the dual cases in. Just need to collect a few things and ill be doing it. It does feel like the dual case has been sitting on my carpet for ever.

 

I thought you just got those KM1's not too long ago...why go 35's if they're still good tires (idk if they are or not), duals or a geared case would be a better improvement than 35's, just a thought.

 

That was a year ago. They've got 35K hard miles in da rocks/ pavement pounding on them now. There about done
