    It's a full custom arch on the bed and fenders, then the panels were remade in fiberglass copies. Bed, fenders, hood and tailgate are all fiberglass. Doors and cab are steel.

    It looks amazing but good luck copying it.

    I have plans for a wide body hilux this summer. 75-78 style. Have an 88 with a static and 2" body drop I'm debating either wide body and chop or selling.

    There was a taco a few years back with steel wide body panels. Basically moved out and bent stock metal.

    Fiberglass Offroad stuff goes wider but the wheel opening is huge. It would need alot of work. And for the effort id start from scratch. Here's what I mean.

    it depends on the glass and who makes it.

    True but the basic concept of prerunner glass panels is a bigger wheel opening. For the cost of them I wouldn't butcher a set. Then again I have skills with sheet metal and glass as would rather make a custom set anyways.
