After blowing two stock tires on the Raptor Expeditions trip last weekend (Definitely an awesome time) I need to swap out my tires. I am thinking about a set of 37" baja TAs for off road. I have a 2013 SCAB and am already at mid-perch. I know I need fenders so I am thinking about doing a 1 piece front end after seeing how cool Connor's truck looked this weekend. His truck has the Fiberwerx glass on it I have been told. How tricky is the install and how much prep work has to go into the glass to make it look good before my wrap guy can wrap it for me. Is it feasible to do a hinge on the one piece front end or do I have to have it as a lift off piece?

I also want to do their bedsides at the same time. I will be linking the truck in the near future so I am tempted to completely remove the bed at this time and make panels to hide the inside until I get the back half done. Is this a reasonable thought or am I missing something?

Any insight or advice will be greatly appreciated from anyone who has experience with this issue. Who should I talk to about doing the work?

Thanks!!!

Bill

Anything can be made to work it's just a matter of how good the fab guy is. With that being said it's more difficult(costly) to hinge a clip without existing tubework up front.

For a while I didn't have my 1 piece clip hindged and it was fine for me putting it on and taking it off myself, but I knew once I got It painted I would ruin the paint every time I put the clip back on the truck by myself.
If you search my Sport Trac build you can see how we mounted mine

No need to get rid of the bed meow, just cut the stock fenders and hang the rear glass, and when it's time to link the girl then get rid of the bed.

There's hundreds of guys from So Cal to Vegas can do the work, personally I'd stay away from anyone who specializes in Raptor's, mainly cause I don't agree with paying a Raptor tax just cause you own a Raptor
