pull the factory bedsides vs glass?

So I just finished my rear L/T setup & now looking at options for bedsides, Anyone pull the factory bedsides instead of running fiberglass? If so please post pics. TIA Like I said, I'm just wanting to see what options I have before spending the $

 

I trimmed the shit out of mine.

 

mine are also cut to shit. I cut some, then self clearanced the rest. then cut some more.

Cool, thanks guys! Hopefully some 1st gen guys will chime in also!

 

I ran pulled for a while. 33s are the max.

 

Cool, thanks! I know I'm gonna need to do something...

 

i pulled the fenders on my 2004 taco i had.. with a TC kit in the front and stock in the rear i stuffed 33" tires with ease.. just cut the brace in the middle then i put a lil piece of a 2x4 on the inside of the fender, put a car jack on the tire and started cranking.. pulled them out perfect with out distortion.. then just bracket up the cut inside the fender and longer brackets on the bottom mounts.. this is the only pic i really have left of the truck but u can see the rear is fully stuffed in the fender well

 

I think 285s stuff nicely with pulled bedsides. (body damage from wheeling/brush not pulling bed)

 

Thanks guys! I think I am going to pull the bedsides, Just gotta get the time...Need a new clutch & get my sliders on still also.

 

What do you mean by "pulling the bedsides"?

 

Pushing/pulling the sheetmetal on on the outside of the bed out to give it a flared look and more tire coverage

 

Does it look good?

 

Its really not all that noticable and probly not worth the hassle if its just for the looks. The purpose is to be able to stuff your rear tires up inside the fender wells for more travel, usually for long travel as a way to avoid getting fiberglass bedsides.

 

anyone try pulling bedsides on a second gen? I might give it a whirl

 

I originally pulled my bedsides



Then I just got bedsides. Much better I rubbed some with the stock pulled.

 

do it right the first time, you got all that money in that rear suspension then complement it with clean fiberwerx or glassworks bedsides, dont cut corners cause its cheaper when in the long run itll be cheaper and easier just to get glass
