After reading about Kyota tubbing his wheel wells i thought it would try it since i will be stepping up to 37's soon.  I read both his and Chris Geigers pages on how to do it.  Didn't know of the 2 gen would be any different.  It started out hard and frusterating, then i got use to it. pictures.  BTW, i went through 4 angle grinder blades already and i am only done with the drivers side.

I decided not to go that high up as what my marks say.  I didn't want to cut right next to the fuse panel part/computer.

Here it is all welded up.  I decided to just weld the whloe thing and not use the sealer stuff.  I am not worried about leaks.  I still have to grind it down and then paint it.  the metal i used was from the leftover parts of James's bed when he bobbed it.

Passenger side is done too.  Turned out the same.  I am happy with them.  Wasn't too hard, just time consuming.  Went through 8 cutting wheels today, i actually bought all 9 wheels they had on the shelf.  It is a rare thing to see these good one becasue they are alwasy gone.  2 trips to the hardware store.  i think they know be by name.

Time to modify your seat mounts! :gap:    my seat does go all the way back and my legs are still crammed...but theres is no more room to even move it farther. I think i should tub the floor and pedles out  :joke:

No way, I fit perfect, just can't tub the fenders.
If the cab was an inch shorter and it would be buggy time.

i cut out the back of my cab on my 81 and moved the bed forward, wa-la 1st gen 4runner I could put my seat back as far I wanted.  Fenders look good brad.  I ran 36in tsl's with stock rear springs in the front with no problem.  So you should be fine.
