Very cool! Dont know if I could cut out that much good steel but lots of room. Does the rubber touch turned and articulated?

No.
I did forget to mention the 2" spacers and 2.5" bksp wheels. We cut just before the inner/outer fender line on the top, cut slits in the outer part like everbody does, and just hammered them up. I have not flexed it much yet, but I am very sure it will hit the factory bumpstop before the tires hit anything else. I drove it to Vato-Zone yesterday with no rubbing.
Only two lug nuts per wheel for Nascar-quick tire rotations! Sweet!

Very nice. I always wondered why very few people chopped their front fenders out. I have been so close to cutting my fronts out several times but I always chicken out. Maybe this will finally push me over the edge. Thanks for sharing.

I love to see a rotted out cruiser come back to life in the form of a badass rock rig. Excellent work.

Not out of the question, but I really like how low it is. What is your ground to bottom of frame meas. under drivers door?

check out Redline Motorsports - Toyota Land Cruiser & Race Products for a cage.
Sick build. Making me want to do more to mine.
How much did the top weigh after you cut it off? I am thinking of doing that to drop some weight in the rear.

Not sure. Heavy. 200lbs. maybe?
I do know with the doors/upper tailgate/glass/etc. it lost ALOT. It pulled the 38's waaaay better on the trip to the store than I thought it would.

Debating on gearing options now. Looks like a manual swap is gonna be the best option. The Auto only has 161k, anyone need one?
