2WD Fenders on a 4WD?

I was just thinking, if you hated your OEM fender flares, could you replace the 4WD fenders with 2WD fenders thereby eliminating the flares? Theoretically. Not doing it, just wondering. If you've done it, pictures?

 

2wd has the same fenders i thought

 

yes you could, or just take the flare off and fill the holes.

 

Same fenders unless OP is talking about the gray unpainted fenders, those were just a the lower trim model flares, but could be on a 4wd or 2wd base model truck. Regardless they will swap.

 

I've seen several 2WD models without the plastic flares. I thought that was standard on 2WD.

 

Flares are not exclusive to 2wd or 4wd on either gen. However if your truck has flares then your body panel will have holes for where the clips attach. So removing them you'd have to replace the panel or replace with a different flare.

 

Nope, its a different body panel dude. See my picture above and here. (notice how one has holes one doesnt, so you can't just "swap flares" its a whole different panel and its not exclusive to drivetrain, there were 2wd trucks with fender flares.

 

That's what I meant. Replacing the 4WD fenders (with flares) with 2WD fenders that never had flares. This way eliminate the flares without having to patch holes. Just a theoretical question.

 

yep, doable, but expensive, have to replace and repaint the whole body panel

 

10-4. Thanks. Just wondering.

 

Not me, local guy, never met him.

 

Is this photoshopped or did you really get rid of your flares? Looks great.

 

i took the picture so no, not photoshopped

and like I said, not me

 

5 lug vs 6 lug. Completely different vehicle.

 

Wow. Never seen one w/o flares.
