    No, sorry. Usually it's only the long travel guys that go that route and that isn't something I planned on ever doing to my truck. Even if you do glass fenders you still have to worry about hitting the inner fenders.

    My problem isn't so much the inner fender area, but as you saw from the photo the tire is wide enough that it cleaned the bolts holding the flare on from the inside... I need the fender to be a tad wider and taller at the opening. Or, go with 10.5's which would solve EVERYTHING!

    I'd call that a win. Life is tough enough without adversity, friends are a good thing

    Was just asking, yish. I'm still really good friends with my ex fiance who got pregnant by one of my best friends. Was a rough deal at the time, but we're all still great friends now. I understand how that can work lol

    I can't speak from experience of course but I doubt even if you had 10.5s it would fix everything. Still going to need to trim those fenders and flares, and then hammer and cut other stuff. Pull the coils and cycle them, you'll see.

    Agreed.

    That sounds like it was a shitty deal.

    It's amazing what you can get past when you have enough history with someone. A relationship isn't in the cards, but we'll probably always be friends. The last few years have been interesting, to say the least.

    I took a CC class many many moons ago. 90% of the instructions were on how to avoid ever being in a position where you might actually need your protection. The other 10% was about the consequences if all else failed.

    Indeed. And the reason why they are some of my best friends is because we all realized a long time ago that people need friends, not enemies. And when push came to shove... They were there for me when my life fell apart too. It's all good in the hood

    Anyone looking to build a rack for their vehicle/canopy/trailer? I'm going to have (7) 47" bare aluminum 2x1 extrusions available soon, will sell them at a steep discount. No shipping but could TWExpress.

    Thanks guys! We're in talks about either doing a trip somewhere or just having a big party for the 20th. Really doubt I'll be able to convince her to go to Moab, but I have a year to try, right?
