The 4Runner needed new tires and a set of 35" KM2s were only $40 more than a set of 31s. So I made the logical choice and ordered the 35s and mounted them on some IFS 4Runner steelies I scored off of Craigslist with Spidertrax spacers.
I ended up trimming 2" from the wheel wells (which conveniently eliminated most of my rust), chopping out the rockers, and tubbing the firewall.
Rocker chop... Not terribly difficult to do and allows rock sliders to be tucked up much higher.
Rear trimming
Firewall tubbing... Showing clearance at full lock, full stuff.
Painted in Rust-Oleum satin almond that matches the aged Toyota paint surprisingly well. I can't wait till my Addicted Offroad bumper arrives and I can cut the ghetto pipe off.
