How much cutting is required to make 37s fit?!

Alright so I made the move to 37s! Finally has been done. I had been looking to do this for awhile now but had to figure out just how I wanted to do it without portals and with a 2.5 inch coil over lift. After watching some videos I knew it was going to require cutting plastic…. And the body. I have more pictures coming soon but here is a sneak peak of the rear so far and I’ll explain what I did. In the first pic you can see what it used to look like and see where I ultimately chose to cut. This cut was with the natural body line and fender flare. Once I cut that line I used the cut line to cut the body. This was the hard part. To make it easier I could’ve taken a marker and traced the line and then taken off the fender flare but I wanted a percise cut. After this was done it was all about taking the burrs out and cleaning it up. Take your time when you do this. I still need to do the front but I am waiting for wider fender flares from another company so I will have to redo the rear and will make another post! Thanks for reading. Good luck cutting!

For those who have modified your new Tacomas, what kind of MPG are you getting? I have larger tires, a Westcott Lift, low pro front bumper, roof rack, and a GFC topper. I’m getting about 17 MPG (when calculated). I was at around 21 MPG prior to building the truck up.
