Not bad troy! pretty decent bolt up, now wonder what the ones you left me with will do.

It was a little more than a bolt up. The right fender took me about 4 hours and it still needs some work. I forgot to drill a hole for the antenna too. I'll probably get a stubby from freedom so I don't put too much stress on the glass. As for the fit and finish of the fenders. They are better than my first very quick look. I was able to fit and adjust everything with a medium file and some sandpaper. The file worked very well. Some of the issues I saw in the glass sanded out very easily with some 120 grit sand paper. I rounded out most the edges with the same. The door gap must have moved on me when I was trimming the lower fender. The upper hood needs trimmed down and rounded a bit it really catches your eye. I had to use some washers under the fender to bring it up flush with the hood. I also had to trim quite a bit from above the headlight so it would not rub the headlight. That area also needs some fit and finish work. The tabs on aft part of the fender could be a little straighter. I had an issue getting the clip to sit straight so I could get the bolt in without cross threading. Oh and I hate how the outside of the headlight mounts!! I'll make a bracket for that later.

As for your fenders @RLTW you don't have to worry I already sold them. You said you weren't gonna mod your truck any more so I thought it would be cool. I'll buy you a case of beer some time.

Looks great! Anything to add, any problems you've ran into? Were you indeed able to utilize the stock fender liners? Take some more pics!

Thanks in advance and congrats!

Yes I used the stock fender liners but I don't think they would work with 37s. I had to do and need to do some trimming but that's expected. I'll post more pics later

Will the fenders work with 37's or is there not enough travel gap for them?

I do not have 37s yet!! but I just dont think the fender liners will work with 37s . the fenders without liners should be fine. I have no educated answer for ya.

Troy you forget that I'm running 37s on stock fenders with liners, this should pull them up a bit more. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
