the panel beaters did a 20mm trim on mine, mainly the back and refitted the original plastic flares, can't tell the difference. Apparently the tricky spot is at the bottom of the A pillar the seam extends out into the guard abit

Panel beater flattened the seam as much as possible and cut the guard back to match on mine.

Straight section in front of doors, before wheel arch is about half the length it used to be.

33x12.5xr15
15x8 wheels with -28 offset (landcruiser offset)

Just passes certification without fender flares.
Although I have had to limit my steering lock to prevent the tyre rubbing on the chassis under suspension compression.

not worried about lettin it stick outside the guard, as il stick the 31's on for town use. As i didnt get 2 drive it with 33's yet , im guna throw some silly questions out there. 1: how much power do u lose? Will i stil be able 2 tow a 5.3m boat? 2: will the tailgate door handle a 33 as a spare tyre? 3: will i have 2 go 2 more comp style wheel stud? 4: with the extra height form the 33 would it pay to back the torsion bars a bit 2 try & level out the cv's

1. Yea, with steel rims, 33" mud tyres and tubes vs. my old All-terrains on alloys, big drop in power. Still can cruise on motorway happy enough though, just got to get some momentum for the hills! Towing a boat... it'll do it, just unsure of how slow it'll be going.

2. Tailgate is fine with 33x12.5 spare.

3. Standard wheel studs are fine for steel rims and most alloys. Only the really thick 4x4 alloys would need longer studs.

4. 2" lift, front locker, and 33" tyres has been fine for me, haven't broken a CV yet. Anything over 3" i'd be worried, and and want to lower it a little or do the diff drop (or solid axle swap!)

yea im running 33x12.5's on mine also with sunny 15x8 rims, scrubs a bit on full lock, much worse in reverse, think its just hitting the mudguard.... will try and bash some clearance into them! lol.

where'd you get your spare mu guards from?? need a pair myself as one of mine has a rust hole in it and i want to replace the snorkel hole...

even with a 2" body lift, a new set of 265 /75/16R's just about ripped the front mudflap off in Reverse Gear.
