The safety thrid joke was a real crowd pleaser. A real knee slapper. I spilled my drink.

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you. I'm sorry about the spilled drink. Thank you for watching.

[@GoXplr]

Thats ballsy ... rotozipping a fender, I like it !! Nice job as always Tim. The toyo is looking good

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you. It was nice to do the others guys first. Lol

[@59sixstring94]

Thanks Trailman always wanted to do this and you provided good tips and suggestions. That white Runner is hot.

[@timthetrailman4563]

You are welcome. The rhino has grown up nicely.

[@sonofacheron]

Just a comment on the thumbnail: the snake shown is not a viper but some generic elapid (cobra, mamba, taipan, etc). Nitpicking you say? Maybe so, but lack of attention to detail makes you question what else Viper may have gotten wrong. Cheers

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you for watching and the feedback.

[@1130serg]

Nice viper cut. What size tires were on that blue 4Runner?

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you. Stock 265/70/17. Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

[@rand0mGT]

Safety third always

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you for watching. Brings me joy that you caught that.

[@59sixstring94]

What would you use to trim the cut edge ? What type of tool did you find worked best to make the cuts? Fixed speed or Variable

[@timthetrailman4563]

With the air saw you can vary the speed with the trigger. An electric tool you might want a variable speed for best control. Best advice is to practice multiple times with the tool you own.

[@cfernandez1127]

This looks great, awesome job. Curious if it affected your MPGs?

[@timthetrailman4563]

I have not noticed any change in good or bad. Neither has my friend that is lifted on 34s.

[@GarrettHunter8]

At 4:55 what is the black liner wrapped along the edge of the cut?

[@timthetrailman4563]

Thank you for watching Cowles S37203 - 8 Feet of Black Truck/SUV Door Edge Guards, U-Shape PVC Edge Trim Stays on with Self Adhesive Hot Melt Glue Protects from Scratches/Dings and Opening into Walls or Other Cars a.co/d/1Zzt5Qs

@@timthetrailman4563 thanks!

[@BryanJacksonLives]

how far down did you measure?

[@timthetrailman4563]

Between 5 to 6 inches from the front of the fender molding. My goal was to leave both screws at the top in place. That would better secure the fender liner. If I went with the more aggressive cut I would only have the top screw left.

[@Meows217]

Can you add a super charger?

[@timthetrailman4563]

Yes, please DM CC number.

[@Mr.Mikey.Holiday]

I saw you using a measuring tape, what measurement were they?

[@timthetrailman4563]

Ooof!! Let me get home and measure for you. Are you asking for from the wheel arch to where the top of the cut ends?

[@kevinkossmann341]

I need these measurements

[@kevinkossmann341]

Also did you cut on the top side of the hump or the bottom side of the hump. On the white runner.

[@timthetrailman4563]

My apologies. I totally forgot to do this for you. The measurements is 6" down from the bottom of the fender to where the cut stops at the top. Or about 1" below the second screw down on the bumper cover. I can send pics on IG to help. Timthetrailman on there

[@timthetrailman4563]

@@kevinkossmann341 not sure what hump you are talking about. They both got cut at the same spot. About 6" down from the bottom of the fender where the cut ends or about 1" below the second screw on the bumper cover. Feel free to message me on IG for some pics. Timthetrailman on there too

[@Americafirst-i8q]

To me cutting up a nice vehicle like that is the same like putting a nasty tat on your forearm, no thanks

[@timthetrailman4563]

It definitely isn't for everyone
