Fender flare removal on a 2nd Gen Tacoma

Playing with the idea of removing the fender flares on my 2011 Tacoma. Just added 33s on my rig and feel if I remove the fenders I’ll have a little more tire clearance.

Anybody out there who has done this mod to there truck can you please share a picture?

Also any advice on how to plug the holes?

 

shouldn't need to remove fenders for 33's, but theres a bunch of threads on it. I trimmed my fenders for my 35's

trimming fenders and liners is laborious but it looks so much better than removing completely.

 

What size tires and wheels are these?

been thinking high clearance rear and need to rebuild or replace current suspension components. Your build looks good!

 

Those are my old 285/75/17s. Truck is not the same as it was 6 months ago...On 35x11.5x17 now

 

Procomp LaPaz 17x8.5

 

talk about light up the night . . . how much power do those puppies draw?

My 255/80/17s rub pretty good on TRD 4runner wheels even after I removed flares.

Anyone who says 33s don't run at all has never fully flexed it off road or has some magical wheel offset that I don't know about.

I 3d printed plugs for the holes. Looks OK from a few feet back but really cheesy up close.

Up next is a custom fender liner and sawzall!

 

Those that trimmed up the fenders, what are you guys doing about the intake inlet from passenger side, cowl intake?

 

how many inches of a cut is that?

 

2 inches

 

Or pretty much the body line in the fender flare
