    The dream for me will be LT +2 or 3.5 front, rear axle will match width, glass all fenders, box the frame, add cages ect ect. Dreaming is good.

    Steven used some rubber or plastic to patch the gap on his, but I've been looking for a way to re-cover the entire fender well. I've got a sheet of ABS plastic in the garage but I think I'll use it on the rear fenders.

    Will have to check those out later... but damn those are pricey and I am actually thinking of having the front wheel wells Line-X'd....

    What I created is still holding up. I need to duplicate the pattern and mail it to you as it works perfectly to keep mud and such from going forward towards the headlight and such.

    I've gotta find a way to keep the crud out of my fender flares and cab mount area. The rear catches way more stuff though. I really do need to come up with a solution for it. Been lacking motivating though.

    Not bad man, staying busy with house stuff rather than truck stuff unfortunately.

    Same here, I will prob just wait until the rear bumper is on the truck and then fab something up somehow. I kinda have an idea, but it would require cooler temps and such lol.

    Super general idea, but would use some thick rubber like I used on the front fender guard I made, and would just built some brackets that use the existing holes in the fenders to help attach it to the fender side, would have to have some sort of attachment point up top so will need to look and see what is there, same thing with the bed side part as well, but it could be doable... it would allow flex of the bed and if made right with a template, if it tore, just cut out another one and replace it.

    I mocked up the front ones using cardboard and the fit came out pretty damn good, so would do the same on the rear, then used a leather hole punch to put the holes in the rubber.

    I need to trace the template I have onto some paper and scan and send it to you so you can recreate it... I will do that today at some point.

    They are both on MTR's. 35's on @trekker's Taco and 34's(305's) on @MellyMel's 4r.

    Edit: @MellyMel may only be on 285's. Post 1 says 287's? For some reason I thought she was on the next size up.

    Mmmmm. I am about to try and get 35s on the truck... or at least before Crawl for a Reason at the end of September.

    I think I want to go with the Generals again, but going to see what else based on price and such.

    Time for a spreadsheet.
