Maybe I had more aggresive tires to pick up larger gravel than yours? the gravel was the size of golfballs and made a mess of thise fenders. No experience w/Gozzard.Mark W said:While the Mallotte tubs are... well, let's just say they leave a bit to be diesired... Their front fenders are (in my experience) pretty decent. I've run them on one rig and a buddy ran them too. We were concerned about how they would hold up, both to flying gravel on the road and to trail abuse. Never had a problem with them suffering from the gravel. We get a LOT of it. Even at subzero temps they never suffered a crack. Rolled a rig once with these fenders. An inpact that would have mangled and ruined a steel fender (or AL) left a small crack that was easily repaired (and even if ignored it was not that big a deal) the fiberglass flexed nicely in that situation, prevent worse damage. The lines of the fender are perfect and the fit was easy and correct.
I have a Mallote tub sitting at the shop that will probably never be installed. But I like their fenders.

buckroseau said:I've got Gozzard fiberglass fenders (along with a Gozzard tub and rear door). 11k miles since my rebuild, absolutely no cracking or spiderwebbing, and I live on a gravel road. Gozzard laminates this padding stuff into all his product, including the fenders. I remember noticing it as soon as I picked up my tub and other parts. The next time I spoke with Mike I asked him what it was. It was a pad he laminates in all of his Yachts that does not allow star cracking or spiderweb cracks. I told him I was going to undercoat my fiberglass product just to make sure, he said it wasn't needed to undercoat, they would not crack.
And, yes....Mike has rolled his 40 2x's with his fiberglass tub. Roll cage was only attached to the tub, not to the frame. Still driving it
I also have a set of CCOT fenders I got for another project I'm working on. The project I'm working on needs to me a very nice fit, unfortunetly CCOT's fenders do not provide that in my opinion.
If anyone needs a set of installed, but never used CCOT fenders for a rig PM me.
Cruiser below is mine, 77 FJ40. Gozzard tub, rear ambulance doors and front fenders. All other components are OEM.

Yes, I posted a pic of my 40 for fender view purposes, but there is no bragging going on here nor is there mention of another thread or a link to it.
Thanks on the compliment(s)

brian said:but you showed the first as a demo for the 'glass fender, after which you were then asked to show some more detailed views.
as a result of which i'am very seriously thinking about ordering a set. fenders that look good and will atleast never rust agian.
buckroseau said:Landpimp's correct on the OEM fenders. I contacted Cruiserdan and got a price on a set of OEM fenders, roughly $200 each. Although he said that Toyota specified 79 and newer model fenders, didn't make the 78 and older ones anymore.
Not to hijack this thread, but I was meaning to post and ask what the difference's would be on those fenders? If they would fit on 78 and older stuff??
Thanks, Matt
