I ordered the fenders from a small fab shop out of AZ. bought a chewed up set of fenders, cut out the inners, and me and a buddy welded the inners to the tube/flat fenders. still have the stocks sitting in the garage on the shelf. they were just too clean to cut. I acutally wish I could run the stocks but my garage door is only 7 ft and the rollbar only gets in by 1.5 inches. I wanted the tire clearance but couldn't lift it anymore.

Thanks. Don't know if I'll be able to make any events but let me know when they are. I work every other weekend (gotta love swing shift) and have two young kids. I mainly just ride a few times a year with my buddies down at exit 33. I was able to pick up a set of axles though (thanks again Volt) ought to do WAY better than the stock 2.73s and open diffs.

put them in on saturday. did a quick test drive, put it back in the shop, had the rest of the weekend booked, and then had to leave town for work for 2 weeks so who knows when I will get back to it. gotta do brakes all around too. and still have to install and plumb the compressor. of course I already had widetracks so visually its the same. cant wait to actually test everything out though.
