Those wheels are from a 4x4 Titan I think

what do I need to do in order to cut out and re do my inner Fender up front? Do I just cut it out or is there structural areas I need to avoid. I want to get a set of 18's and not run rubber bands, plus I plan on bagging one day so I'll be doing it eventually anyway. Any tips on doing it right would be awesome

Also have some pictures to upload soon, close to finishing the interior, new dash is about to be painted once I figure out how I want it to look... trying to find a different way to paint it than what I've seen already done. going to start on the custom center console once the dash is in, new door panels,custom back wall (to hold amps and 2 6.5's) new carpet, then I need to save for the speakers.

Once the interior is done I'll get a Weber and new exhaust, then rims n tires. and finally paint... then the long wait for air ride.

For your dash painting. Use duplicolor interior vinyl paint.

I've always wanted to convert a truck/car to rhd ever since owning my first car (87 Jetta gli rhd) I love rhd vehicles and another member on here has found me a rhd dash and is working on acquiring it for me. I saw one thread on here about someone doing the conversion but there was ALOT of cutting and welding that I'm not sure I'm capable of doing alone right now. I was wondering, since these were made factory rhd can't I just buy all of the parts that need to be modified from a factory rhd truck and install them without all of the modifications? I can do some of it but cutting and welding some of these parts makes me nervous I'll screw it up. If I can just buy all of the rhd parts it should all just bolt up and go right?

found this if that's a part I need lol have no idea

if this is possible... my next question would be, what all do I need to get/do?

I would think it's quite possible but finding all the parts would be hell! And shipping is probably gonna kill you on account that everything will be overseas. And u need to consider moving ur master cylinders (brake&clutch) pedals, wiring, and shit like that... I think it's an awesome idea but way too much work IMHO. Not trying to bash ur plans man I honestly think it would be awesome to see done but it ain't gonna be easy.

money's not growing on any tree in my yard but would rather do it with oem parts and know it's safe than cut n wheld a bunch of stuff, not knowing what I'm doing and possibly hurt myself trying to drive something that's not safe... that's why I'm scared to bag it alone lol moving the masters isn't a big problem and my roommate is an electrical engineer so the wireing shouldn't be a problem. The steering parts is what concern me

unless there's someone here in AZ who knows what there doing that would be willing to give me a hand, or someone on here that would modify the parts for me... really wish I could do it myself but some stuff is best left to those who know what there doing (until I learn more)

Shit, I wanna do this too. You track down parts and maybe I will make a trip to AZ to help you out. Converting the steering to RHD is actually easy. There are already mounting hole need on the other side of the frame. You only have to cut and weld one bracket from the LHD setup and you can use your original column and everything.

I have been looking online for a RHD dash FOREVER!!! lol. I know the the Mazda Bongo Van has RHD and some have our dash, but I couldnt find any RHD dashes like ours. Only different styles.

Once you find the dash, the rest is cake. Gut interior, move internal assy's (pedals and what not), insert RHD dash.
