    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    It was a full day project...I used the dremmel 100% on the flares. Used the little saw for 80% of the actual fender and the dremmel for the rest of it.

    Plan on a whole day though.

    Do you have an air compressor? If so when we isntalled my high Clearance bumper we used an air saw and it worked amazing! I imagine it would be great for this too but I don't own or use air tools.

    I do. I might even take it to work and put it on the lift so I don't have to crouch to cut. I probably will stay electric though. It's hard to bend and move with a bulky air hose especially when it needs to be slow and precise

    If you have access to a lift then you should always use a lift...I have been thinking of installing a lift at the house on my trailer slab...but then new concrete...

    I think the minimum for a normal 10k two post lift is 6-8" of concrete. You can get them installed for under 4k though which isn't bad. I have access to 6 car lifts, 1 truck lift and an alignment rack. I never pay for truck mod installations haha

    Do it! Having a lift is awesome. Just be careful keeping it in the elements. California gets away with it but don't know how it would be out east here.

    If I invested that kind of change I would do a cover port for it...but that is not even on my radar yet...gotta get the yard graded and pull up my deck for a patio.

    Never. My Taco has it's own garage! After 10 years working outside with zero cover I had our house built here in VA with enough garage for 4 bikes, 1 car and 1 truck...and a slab for a trailer...I hate working outside.

    It's quick...just make sure you are on the right plug as there are the same colored wires on the AC controls...I had to do it twice since I decided to disable the TPMS on my Fan switch....much hatred filled the truck once I realized what I had done.
