    Pics! What are your plans for fenders and a bed for the truck? I was looking at your website and noticed the new high clearance rear quarters for the 4runner. Do you make just the flare?

    3 piece flip front clip , on hydrolics (3" flared fenders custom hood )
    3" flared box on hydrolics .. smoothed
    suside doors with poppers

    they fit awesome , but I wont be able to stuff them up in there .. just to close .. so I tried out some 5" back spacing wheels .. closer , but still not what I want
