well you must have noticed how rusted away it was where the stock fender flare goes in the pic above. i started remaking that area to look like it did before, only wider to fit the big tires. the pacer fender flares need that edge to screw to, and it was completely gone. i dont really have much expirience working with sheet metal or have the proper cutting tools, so im hoping i can hide the uglyness with bondo i sprayed the back with undercoating to help prevent future rust outs. the winters here are hell on bare metal with all the salt on the roads...





the extra wide flare should work well on the front, and ill probly go with the regular version for the rear and not space the rear wheels out



frame dented in in the front. the sledge hammer knocked the undercoating off and showed a thin spot that cracked so i ground it out and put a patch in. ill spray it with undercoat again.



didnt have to cut much here. the section left is 4.5in to the front of the fender, i forget what it is stock... i think i cut away about 2.5in vs 4in at the back of the front tire.

 

For the front you could use the baja style wide fenders. That would help with the width. http://www.glassworksunlimited.com/19to19dafrfe.html
And I believe someone used a fords wide fender for the rear, custom fit of course.

 

wonder how long that beastly machine will take to break an axel? lol. so of the samurai guys use ther stock flares and then put some of the 6" rubber garden barrier stuff you can get a home depot that you put around small gardens and bushes. it actully looks decent and it is cheap.

 

i think ill stick with the flexy flares. not even half the price of those.

axles... who knows? if they break ill try durango stuff
stock flares dont even fit anymore because i had to cut so much away

 

test fit before trimming the ends

 

well this is how its looking as of today. my sister stopped by the shop and got a pic(before i could clean up). i have to sand off a few spots that the paint didnt turn out on and respray, but im pretty happy with my beginner painting skills with spray paint

 

Lookin good! What kind of dog is that (looks to be at least part german shepard)?

 

Looks good!

 

thx! shes a pure german shepard. shes going kinda grey, as she will be 13 in the spring.

 

I LOVE the German Shepard's! I got one at almost 2yr old. He's great. I also got a golden retriever/ lab mix 7months, but now just as tall as the other. I love my big sized dogs.
