Dweb, Tech, Fender Trimming.
Do like I suggested. Place ramps at opposite tires and drive up on them. It will become abundantly clear what you need to cut. Mainly behind the rear tire. Get a firm and flat piece of cardboard. Cut it into a long slightly curved line. Put it up to the back of the fender and move it around to the position that gives the smoothest transition. Trace the line with a sharpie. Now you have a template for the other side.

So...roommate herculined the rocker panels and fender flares on his LX450 and it has me thinking about it with my Discovery again. I know I need to paint the roof still...so I am trying to figure out what I think for both the roof and the rockers/flares.Currently my thoughts are....
- White/Tan Paint on the Roof, Black bedliner for rockers/flares. Pros: decent color combo, and cheaper (roommate should have extra I can buy off him for a discount). Cons: black might not be noticeable enough to add cosmetic appeal on a dark green truck.
- Black Bedliner on roof and rockers/flares. Pros: decent color combo. Cons: heat in the summer, and might not be noticeable enough to add cosmetic appeal.
- Brown Bedliner Roof and rockers/flares. Pros: seems like it would be a decent color combo (it works for trees ), and more noticeable than black. Cons: more expensive (don't have any brown on hand), can't seem to find any pictures of what it would look like going brown/green/brown.
- "Joker Special" (purple bedliner roof and rockers/flares). Pros: having a Batman/Joker inspired truck. Cons: being seen in a Batman/Joker inspired truck.
Any thoughts/opinions? Or, pictures of what brown/green/brown might look like?

I forgot to get a picture last night.
I will be cutting it pretty close clearance wise right now...but based on a ramp test, and rocking it back and forth (while flexed on the ramps), I think it will be OK. Basically I went about 1" in on the body line (the visible body line, not the underneath lines), then up 4" to the wheel well. I will try to remember the picture(s) tonight.

You don't have to fold. The point I was trying to make was to NOT leave a Sharp edge/corner. It may not matter much with 235/85's but it mattered on my 265/75's.
