Check over on pirate too, there's a good thread on fiberglass fenders over there.

glass fenders are like $300. thats not bad for a baja truck or street truck but if you plan on wheelin your truck thats kinda high. metal can bend glass just cracks. i too love the way they look and if i ever get a fix it ticket i might get em for the road but i couldnt risk it on the trail. iam not that rich.
for now i just plan on cutting mine as nice as possible.
got another 85 runner. build coming soon!!

Here are some Sawzall brand high clearance fenders. They give you 0-4" of additional clearance and they are fully adjustable for even more clearance.
There are sales all the time.

I'm a Sawzall or shear guy but if you really want fiberglass look at the links posted and look at 4runrRicks new truck with the 'glass fenders

metal can bend glass just cracks

Not necessarily true.  Quality glass will give when sheetmetal will dent.  You may get some cracking in the gel coat, but good glass is very resilient.
