You guys may remember my last thread of "some bed fab work". Ive always wanted a stock height rig with a wide stance so this will start the process. I came across a set of 35x14.50x17 bfg krt's, race grooved, 98% tread, and dot approved for $300 on Race-Dezert.com. I put them in the wheel wells to see how they fit and they stuck out about 7". I nosed thru craigslist and ran across these glassworks fenders for $200. So here go the pics and i will get more camera happy when i do the driver side.
this is before i started chopping on the bed.










now the tires only hang out this much.

finished the paint on the fender.

Looks good who makes those fenders? Or are they just off brand?

E-ROC

thanks. they are glassworks fenders with 4.5" bulge.

CitrusTheDragon

I think I might like those better then some of the others I have seen. I wonder what kinda rep they have.

E-ROC

rep ?

they are pretty popular with the desert racing crowd

CitrusTheDragon

I can see that, looks like a great product

E-ROC

ok. heres some work in progress pics.








anyone who is a spray can user as i am knows that its worth the time it takes to get out an orbital sander with 80 grit to rough up the metal. it definatly helps with the adhesion of the primer paint.





almost ready to hang the glass on.

E-ROC

now to bondo the imperfections on the second fender to get a clean paint job on. but that will wait due to my baltimore ravens playing today

Looks awesome I always wanted to do a prerunner/desert truck build, but we got no sand dunes here in my neck of the woods.

my brother has been looking for some of these for the back of his 92. his is lifted about 15 inches on 41's with an lt1 in it. he already has the front fiberglass "baja" style front fenders. how did you like these ? was the quality good ?

E-ROC

quality is good. a bit thin on the top part that bolts to the bed rails, but good otherwise.

done hanging the driver side.




and just want to show off my new (not yet painted) beadlocks.

just wondering, why didnt you just cut the stock bed sides off and hang these over the tops rails and save more of the inside of the stock bed?

RUSHTOY2

siiiicckkk beadlocks man!

E-ROC

my bed was already cut down lower on the sides from my previous plans. if you look at the first picture of this thread you will see that the top rail was already changed. also due to the amount of up travel in the rear, 14.50 wide tires, and plans to move the axle back 2 inches the wheel tub was an interference issue. when i have an "interference issue" i react with a hammer, metal cutting tool, and in some circumstances a vicious stomp of the accelerater pedal .

E-ROC

thanks!

E-ROC

got around to puttin some skin on.
