    Does anyone have that Inventor software? I'm thinking about making my fenders... I'm already using molds and fiberglass and everything at school.

    dude you are better off dropping the coin on a good set of fenders than trying to make a homemade set. you don't want to be tearing down a fire road and one of your homemade fenders busts apart due to a mistake made in the molding process.

    my dad always taught me if something is worth doing it is worth doing right. there is no reason to do things half-assed.

    a project this big should not be rushed. remember you get what you pay for, sometimes its worth spending the extra cash to get a better product in the long run. trust me something like this you do not want to have to spend money on the same thing over and over again.

    I dunno, i'd give it a try. you still got a real long time before going LT right? I say make some homemade fenders and see how they turn out. Maybe they'll be pretty sick :thumbsup:

    ^ bushwackers will not give you the actual flare and rise needed to clear your suspension travel, they straight up just bolt on to your stock fenders.

    what do you mean by flares? like rolling your fenders? bushwackers? or fiberglass fenders?

    Do you have a picture of an example?
