    Yup. Dremel works nicely to custom fit the body kit to the wider flares. My truck was/is a sport 4x4 and I bet those flares are the same as a prerunner

    You could totally use fiberglass and resin on the under side to attach bodykit pieces together. That bodykit plastic bonds well and sands down to a great finish. The trick is securing the body kit to the frame

    Yea got all the parts from.wrecked xrunner .Hope all clip holes line up when lenghtening .If not try will think of something .


    EDIT
    Mounting bracket works on the 4dr. Just need to pick up some abs sheet to extend xrunner skirt. Then just need to shorten xrunner skirt in front of rear flare .Key is going to be lengthening panel with sheet abs .Going try see if local shop can fab that piece .If not need to try . :fingerscrossed:

    So I talked with a suspension shop today. They were concerned about the angle of my cv joints and being lowered. Thoughts @Torspd

    How do yours look? Can't be worse than with a 6" lift.

    I think mine were only a few degrees above level. They aren't in there any more, so I couldn't tell you.

    Just need the picture of what a factory truck's angle looks like, for comparison.
