and i made them out of pipe..i hope they dont fall apart or explode...lol

here is a pic of them mounted up...i still need to do a lot of welding and grinding, and build the inner fender...but i couldnt resist some teaser pics...they are turning out pretty decent i think...

Oh Noes!!! The front will fall off now. :flipoff2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcU4t6zRAKg

J/K. Looks good!

What thickness plate did you use? The curve in the flare part looks good and blends into the fender nicely.

thanks..lol..i used 16 gauge...but honestly..if i did it over again i'd probably use 18-20 gauge...16 gauge was kinda tough to work with.

Looks good man.

I also might have bumper ideas, and other lil things. Maybe when I bring the sliders down (hopefully in like 2 weeks max?) we could get some measurements and whatnot :)

limegreentj
01-21-2010, 07:07 PM
LOL! i think they are wide too...but they gotta be legal...lol...thats one reason i moved the flare back a little, so it didnt come straight off the fender and really look wide, i think that kinda breaks it up a bit
