How do glass front fenders look without liners?

[BAJASVT]

Overall I'd highly recommend the liners and I'd pretty much say they're a requirement if you're going to wheel in wet conditions (i.e. mud). If you live in a state with snow and salt is used in the winter time, don't even think about not using liners; you DO NOT want all the salt road debris getting up into your inner fenders, firewall, engine compartment, inside the front support horns, airbox intake, etc.

I have glassworks and they literally just sent me a sheet if material. I would go boatec. does anyone know if boatec liners would work with glassworks?

Thanks to everyone who responded. Your trucks look great with the fenders/liners.

So here are my questions:

- are the Boatec liners $300 each, or for the pair?
- what size Grabbers are those 37x?x17?
- how much offset do you need?
- can you install wheel spacers? I'd hate to replace all 6 Method Double Standards with new wheels.
- I was quoted $950 for painting just the front fenders, that seems too high?

And yes I do heavy off roading; lots of mud, snow, and river crossings.

as far as Wheel spacer i would stay away i've seen lots of failures in the atv world. also after seeing a few guys on here break rims i don't think spacers would last long if you do any serious offloading. would rather buy new wheels then pay to fix my truck after a spacer failed.

Well that answers that question! No spacers for me.

How much offset is needed?

I ran spacers at snoball 2 and did fine

I was quoted:

Boatec Fenders/Liners/Shipping $1200

Install/paint $1500

Tires Toyo MT 37" $1520

Method 18" rims with offset $800

Mid Perch/Alignment $300

All this ($5320) to fit 37" MT's properly. I think I might have to pass on this mod. Although it looks badass I can't seem to justify it. Who knows, maybe I will have a change of heart after seeing your project come to fruition and reading a few more reviews. Don't mean to threadjack.

Did your liners come with the mounting tabs or was that added by the installer? I just got my Boatecs and they did not come with them?
Do they just rest against the inside of the fender?
Thanks

do a wrap- whole truck for $2500 instead of $1500 for just the fenders, also 18" wheels? no way no how never. stick with 17". Ford and everyone else in the offroad community chose 17 for a reason, and its the standard. more prevalent, and discounted stuff found easier. Also Ford designed suspension to run at low perch only, if i remember correctly. the other perch's are just a Fox thing, and not meant to be used for a handful of reasons. (i tried it once, a hundred years ago. bad idea) anyhow, my 2% od a dollar. just trying to help
