I cut mine with a stretch of 12" over the stock FJ45 cab. My intention was to have at least a small side window in the hard top when it is cut down. I can lay out where I cut for you if you like. The tub was cut 2" behind where the tub steps up to clear the crossmember at that location. The rear I just sort of guessed, drew a line, squared it up and cut. I don't remember what it ended up at. I did leave the small "humps" from the rear wheel wells in there as they were solid. When finished out it will be a nice little tool box on each side or maybe just a place to mount a small subwoofer, not sure yet. When I put the floor in back there it will fully enclose that area.It's looking good, what is your cab length, stock or did you stretch it a little for legroom? I went back thru your thread but couldn't find where you mentioned the cab length. I have a rusted spare tub that would make a good candidate and have been thinking of doing a 40 to 45/45.5-ish conversion...been following your build and Skips for inspiration!
