Hey guys! Has anyone done custom fenders on an fj60? Don't get me wrong, I love the classic land cruiser look but people are seeming to charge an arm and a leg for replacement fenders. XD
Being a college student, my project e30(my daily) is really reaching more of a finished product for me and I bought an 83 fj60. Thing is a rolling death trap at the minute with it's suspension but she holds together pretty well.
Back to the main point. One of the owners got the front pretty gnarled up somehow and both the front fenders are pretty messed up from the rear of the wheel well forward. (Still a clean title!) Being on a limited budget I was thinking of cutting off the mangled part of the fender and follow the body lines with tube steel. Then weld it it all together and make it stick out further to not only make it look aggressive as hell but also to stop all that water hitting my windshield every time I drive through a puddle. I'm thinking either between flat fender(jeep style) or just make it curve out further. I've seen this all the time on wranglers but I can't find one picture of it on the internet on a 60. Let me know your guy's opinions and if you want I can post some pics.
