--TOYOTA FIBERGLASS GUIDE-- Glassworks, Fiberwerx, McNeil, Hannemann

When you see sexy and can't unsee it

 

I've got a 1st gen ('95) tacoma XtraCab that will be going 3.5" long travel next month. I need to order fenders soon. I have no experience with them at all. I've never seen a truck with them in person. So if anyone who's been around enough to see the differences between the companies and can recommend one, that would be great. I was leaning toward Advanced or Fiberwerx but I'd consider one of the others if it's highly recommended. The price is so similar that it won't be a factor in my decision, but I am thinking about about bulge and rise. I don't want it to look too aggressive (so no 6.5" or anything with louvres) and I want them to cover as much as possible without looking tacky and provide as much travel as my kit offers. Appreciate any input!

 

well never mind, I ordered Advanced 3.5". Now I just have to decide whether to do the rear at the same time or not

 

lol, looking forward to seeing them on your truck.

I've gotta look up how people are fitting snorkels with LT fenders

 

Mcneil +2 fenders and bedsides.

 

if I don't end up selling those damn coilovers, the fenders along with everything else might be coming to Lexington and sitting in my living room for a while lol

Perhaps if you know or can learn how to use fiberglass, you could fix the snorkel to the fender where it needs to go, then glass to attach it and make a smooth transition between the two pieces? I doubt most people are doing that but it might give the most seamless look. or I could be thinking about it entirely the wrong way.

 

yeah I've seen a couple people cut a trace and make a "pocket" for it, thats apparently what AP_yotalander (insta) did to a set of mcneil+6

I love to work on stuff but you know I move slow as shit lol.

 

that actually looks good. just do that ha..I was originally thinking of fitting it up without any gaps.
you have to utilize my availability before I hit the work force

 

Would you ever color match the bumper?

 

As much as I hate black on silver I think the mazulla rear looks ok for now.

 

That would look sick...

 

does look good. I’m gonna get this bumper.

 

Boooo

 

Ahh man WTF!

 

I figured it was going to happen. It was razor thin there and it flexed so much in that area everytime I took it on and off to adjust.

I would rather they made a set that was solid and required just using your own taillight instead of trying to replicate that curve.

 

Will bed stiffeners help?

 

Does anyone know if mcneil offers the bumper cap for their bedsides? The small portion that fills under taillight.
Im running a mazulla rear bumper and would rather not run the wings.
As always emailing mcneil offers no help. The a picture on their website shows the +2 bedside with the cap. And its not the same color so it jas to be seperate right?

 

This is a bit late, but I did this. Not a true snorkel but close enough. One of these days I need to change the intake part to something that looks better.

 

Thats pretty cool, looks better than most dorkels.

Are those +6 or +4 fenders?
