    Just got done doing g the cab mount chop on my truck and I dont know why but I didnt have to cut as much as I've seen on some other trucks. I would highly recommend removing your strut to allow you to move the wheel up and trim as required. I've noticed that every truck seems to be different.
    **note: my truck is lifted 5.5" over stock so I'm going to have more clearance than a 3" at ride height**

    Clearance with the wheel stuffed as high as it can go with the little bit of cutting and trimming.

    The one that is set to arrive on Monday... it's a variant of the rusty colored unit above. UZJ100 Land Cruiser.

    It's the 03 - 07 rack that has the greatest chance of possibly being modded to bolt in. It is is similar to 98 - 02, which is the rusty rack above, but different mounts.

    100 series inners look like a happy medium, but the tundra/200 series are definitely pure beef

    Any one try 35s with a 3.5” backspace?? I have 17x9 3.5” and i think I’m going to have to change my wheels once I decide to join the cool kids club with 35s.. I currently have 295s and i had to do all the trimming & alignment tweaking mentioned in the original post.. I’ve seen a few trucks with 1.25” wheel spacers on a 4.3” backspace run 35s.. (i have no idea how they did it without completely losing the flares).. I’m going to take the plunge sooner or later so lemme know what y’all think

    Thank you very much. It’s been a great experience. I’ve done everything myself except the cab relocation. Enjoyed learning and figuring it all out.

    You did a nice job. I just finished a cab mount relocate on a friends 3rd gen. PITA and a lot of grinding. But they are nice when done.

    Damn this is a sweet thread. Could've used it when I installed my 285/75/17's. For anyone wondering how to patch the holes in the inner fenders. 8" wide Flex Tape tape worked wonders for me and it came out pretty clean!
