    Hello, TW. I'm considering some fiberglass fenders to fit larger tires, but I have a Leer truck cap with skirted sides. Does anyone know or can confirm a brand that allows truck caps to fit with modifications such as trimming/cutting? Hopefully, there's something out there . . .

    Thanks in advance!

    How big of tires? You don’t really need bigger bedsides unless you wanna go 37s. Front fenders are pretty good up to 35s or long travel.

    Well, I'm planning on 35's and I also like the look of the wider fiberglass fenders. I mean, just having the front doesn't look too bad, honestly. Maxx Powell had his like that for a while, too. But, it would be better if I could pair up the front fender with the bedsides

    To your original question ive seen it done just not sure if they trimmed or modified. Look for long travel overlanders on Instagram and ask them is ur best bet.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm looking for a brand that keeps that top portion of the bedside the same size so that a truck cap still fits without trimming the truck cap itself. I'll look in other places for more info!

    Yep, I found someone who did it on Instagram. Sick rig of his. He's even got an ARB snorkel, which I was about to ask about too.
