Transforming the MadToy...

Cut the fender with a 3" grinding wheel, and the flare with a jigsaw. Finished it with some door edge trim and it looks factory clean

Just need to figure out what to replace the inner liner with.....

id say lots of undercoating...not trying to be funny...but its hard to find anything that will form to the inside of the fender and keep it there...

That's exactly what I'm using in the meantime....

I pushed out a dent in my fender flare with a screw driver. Just as impressive??

No before pictures. This is as close as to the repairs as you get. At this distance and poor lighting (and also squint) , you can barely tell there was any damage done.

I'm guessing that was plastic fender?

Madtoy your truck makes me miss mine. I had a 06 red trd 6mt.

Makes me want to get 35's now!

Hell I can run just about every trail at URE without even touching a skid plate with 32's

If you wheel the 35's the chance for breakage increases exponentially

Is Nick making you challenge your whole belief system?

I can't afford 35s, so I can't have all of you guys I wheel with go to 35s.

It's all your fault Brian! I was getting over my 35 kick, till I found this video out there....

LOL, I wasn't going to post that one, but I felt bad because I never have video of you. Plus There isn't much video out there for the Gulches that identify the trails. So it was also for informative purposes.

I am not sure 35s would have solved that problem. You were on there pretty good. At one point your front two tires were off the ground moving back and forth.

I also created another inch of clearance by moving the BudBuilts up. They actually killed the clearance I had. I'm going for that hill again next time out!

yeah i dont think 35s would have gotten you over that ...more like MUD tires or real off road tires...would have gotten you over that....LOL

You dont have to worry about me upgrading, I'm staying with my 33.1" tires!

Almost done....

Damn, looking awesome!

Christ, Brian I am returning the 255's

Now I need to ditch the chrome bumper and paint the grill black

Well I hope you come to the URE event in April, I wanna see how she does
