Fiberglass Bedsides Question

I'm looking at Fiberglass fenders and bedsides for my truck, but the challenge is that I've got a shell that overhangs on the bed (like all shells). I really like the Glassworks quality, but their bedsides don't retain the stock bedrail so my shell won't fit.

Anyone suggest bedsides that will allow for a shell before flaring out? I really don't need/want an insane flare, just something that covers the wheels.

im not sure the bedsides would support the weight of the cap without some reinforcements

 

Just lose the top!

 

your fenders already cover the tires,i think the only reason to get fenders is if your LT

 

If he only goes with glass bedsides it's going to look gay. lol

I would agree with the3big. You need to go LT!

 

Just get the fronts with some spacers imo

 

I may go LT, but I was definitely going to go with coilovers and UCAs. The back and front stick out. I'd think if the top of the bed had some framing, and the weight of the shell were dispersed, I could pull it off and it'd look good. Retaining the shell is critical.

well front glass with the wheels that tucked in would look strange..

 

you have a sweet rig as it is.....

 

spacers still wont fill it

 

Ya..I think some all pro fenders would look better..trail gear makes a variety of spacer sizes

 

might come off as a dick but this is what i hate the most,fiberglass fenders are for clearance for wider track width suspension setups,under no circumstances will fiberglass fenders look rite without LT,not to mention you would look like a COMPLETE POSER,dont take this to heart guys its just an opinion,im sure ill get bad rep for this but w.e lol

 

+1 because i agree lol

 

You asshole! Haha just kiddin..I sorta agree with ya..but I do plan on running front glass when I get my spindles

 

theres just no hope lol

 

There's quite a few people that run spindles and glass..and it looks fine...I plan to use my truck for offroading a lot..and I think I would rub bad without em

 

ya true ive seen spindles with 1.5in spacers and it looks O-K but its still a spacer

 

I know where you guys are coming from, but I respectfully disagree.

As I said, I intend to address the suspension, however to what degree is TBD. That said, I can't even pull in my driveway the way it sits today. So, as it is, even if I address the suspension, it won't take much to touchdown.

So, "poser" or not, front fenders are going on in almost immediately. If someone's got a better idea, I'm open, but I want to remove all possibility of a touchdown. The fenders on the front of the AllPro Tacoma look FANTASTIC and that's not "LT." 2" flare and 3" rise.

As for the back, I think the truck looks ridiculous with the wheels sticking out from the bedsides, I also think if I was addressing the front, and was able to address the bedsides at the same time, it would look - and perform - much better.

The pictures don't really illustrate the problem I guess.

I think it will look sweet dude! Go for it..just make sure to color match them
