    Yeah it looks good. On another thread you said you wanted to section the round fender, is this one also sectioned? Also, is the top of the front tire below the hood and fender? It looks a bit high from that perspective.

    Nice work. Can we see some pics of the 4 link and frame mods front and rear?

    yep the tire is too high. they are 225/40/zr18's, i already raised the 4x4 fenders to fit the original wheels we were using, but now we are going to graft a 06' tacoma front end onto it. we will weld the tops of the 06 fenders to the bottom of the 86 fenders, and narrow up the hood and grille to fit. I only used the front of the original frame, and z'd it to my own frame to keep as much headroom as possible. The truck won't have a four link since i'm using a toyota supra independent rear. I do need to build some control arms for the rear to mount an airbag to. here are some more pics

    Nice project, love the rims. I'm running that same size tire on mine for now.
