No I don't have one. I'm hoping that I can find one at a local rental shop, make all my bends in one day, and all the welds in another.

I think I'd eventually like to do a full on pre runner look, rear tire carrier tailgate and all. Those wide fenders are great the only problem is that all I see are fiberglass and I'm afraid I'd tear em up to easily.
