metal tech fenders - battery? (1 Viewer)

[Poser]

I would make a taller frame plate, and move that down support up and away from the tire....when you are running at lower PSI, and the nose down turning, that tire sidewall may flex into that mount....is that the tallest and widest tire you are EVER going to run?


They look really nice Mike man!

I'm off to bend some pipe....

 

[treerootCO]

bent it around the battery tray thank you Ian!!

and thank you Zach, I would have just welded 'em up if you hadn't mentioned the compost pile.

 

[Poser]

Should work well Mike....looks good!

 

[LT]

Nice solution

Like you forgot it was there...

How did you take those overhead pics? Climb on top of your roof? Maybe your big latter?

 

[treerootCO]

Yep, climbed up on the roof. My neighbours must think I'm weird

 

[helocat]

Wow Mike I am impressed!

Well done!

Mark

Those are coming together nicely. Where did you source your braided brake hoses that go from your front caliper to the stock hard line?

 

[bandy rooster]

good work tree root... it looks like you have skateboard shoes on... lol

all the better

 

[usmcruiser]

Very nice Mike,

are you going to skin 'em. or just leave them as open fenders?

 

[treerootCO]

I am going to skin 'em. The bend around the battery tray turned out great. I'd post a pic but I lost my memory card

 

[treerootCO]

Found it

I'll blend the welds on it, just need to skin the other side

 

[LT]

Have fun grinding

 

[2badfjs]

that came out looking great mike!

do the skins come with the fenders?

 

[treerootCO]

They do with the finishing kit. "This kit includes everything need to finish the tube only kits into two built fenders. This kit has precision laser cut lower frame, front bonnet and rear body mounts. These mounts bolt right into existing holes plus one new hole and allow the fenders to unbolt from the truck if need. The kit also includes precision laser cut 18g sheet metal skins for the top of the fenders. The skins are complete and have the exact radius that matches the front edge of the fenders. To finish out the kit 6 1.5” tube plugs and professional fender welting (for your trimmed upper aprons) give your new fenders a professional look. One finishing kit completes two fenders."

What do you do when you finish mounting your fenders at 11:00 at night? You have to test them right? We went up and ran Chinaman's trail today. I hit the very front of the bib now but that can be corrected.

I love my new fenders!! Mark you have a damn nice product and I wish I would have done these sooner! This one is for you

Do you have a side shot of the fenders finished. They look great
My stock fenders are not holding up to well...still waiting on Mark to accidently lose an order and have it end up at my house All I have is a stick welder, don't think the skins will like that, so I'll need to find a buddy with a mig. Maybe with a bender and throw in a shock/radiator mount/fender tie in, hoopty thingy

 

[wesintl]

THey look great Mike. I think you should spray some clear on them and be done. I like the industrial look

 

[treerootCO]

Do you have a side shot of the fenders finished. They look great...)

Will these shots work? Keep in mind I flipped both springs for a longer wheelbase, that isn't exactly how it sits in the driveway, the rear wheelwells have been moved up all the way to the tub, and those are 37s.

Mike-

Those things look great man!

BTW, did you make that rock?

Hope you guys had fun, my power steering took longer than expected.
