Those wheels look AWESOME!!!!!

Easily my new favorite stock wheel....the truck looks good buddy! I would get rid of the reverse 4-link, but otherwise sounds like a decent build!

Hope it works out well for you!

the guy i got the truck from is gonna help me extend the hood back a little to complete the full cowl look...that will help the hood a good bit

i know on the rear of the truck is a 74 Curiour axle....and it was installed to allow the FJs to tuck out back. the builder told me he spend hours up front getting the front to tuck, both fenders have about 1/2 of the inner lip cut but i am not sure what all else he did...trust me though...turning the front wheels requires raising the front almost fully!

Nice man that looks pretty sweet. Is that a b2600i hood that was made into a cowl hood?

Truck looks great. Not feeling the hood though. However I hate all cowl hoods so never mind me....
Do you need the cowl to clear the engine? You shouldn't I am as low as you and my fatory hood fits.
Love the wheels. they look bigger than 17s. (and that is good)

Super sweet truck. The main reason the hood looks 'off' I think, are the vertical transitions for the cowls raised part. If they were sloped at about 45 degrees, it may look more fitting. VERY difft look tho. Truck overall looks killer.
