I marked a 2 inch outline to where I thought I was gunna cut, but then when I put the scotch tape on, I decided to shape it a little different...

cut out...

Then I put on the pinch weld cover (used for the edges of car doors) to give it a finished look and trimmed that plastic black piece to match...final product

That's a really nice truck man! I like the direction you took with it; go before show! Dove right in with the drivetrain and armor! Very nice!
Keep up the good work on it!

Scuba - I pulled some perfectly good SR5 seats from a local "non self serve" junkyard..not sure if you have any of those in so-cal. but they have some really good quality and good condition OEM toyota items... might wanna check there. I spent 100 on mine, and sold my base model bucks for 50.

I found a set of 03-08 Corolla seats for 50 bucks

I thought you just got those KM1's not too long ago...why go 35's if they're still good tires (idk if they are or not), duals or a geared case would be a better improvement than 35's, just a thought.
