ha, i was thinking the same thing! great idea.you know a couple of those 60s style decorative steel porch posts might do the trick. i wonder if you can still buy those.
you know i forgot to mention that - i got them from MCT Trailers in Ventura, Ca for $50 each. perfect fit over the 265-75-16's BFG At's. I had ZERO rocks kick up to the rear of the tow vehicle as well - so i guess they worked well - however those traveling behind me - stayed well behind as they did get some kick ups from rocks. Might have to get some rubber yosemite sam flaps to screw on the bottom rear of the steel fenders for that prob - j/k - they'd rip off quick.J-Man, I did scroll through the entire thread, but maybe missed it......Where did you get the fenders?

yea, i was pretty amazed i was able to bend it to. Actually, i know where it happened. I was on a stretch of washboard road where i had to make a detour around a washout, then gas it to make it through and up a silty wash - and in doing so there was a spot where i got the front of the vehicle off the ground and then watched in my mirror as the trailer bounced up and came down on the pass side first, then on the drivers side. Still - the axle is a stout piece of pipe.I have been to Baja several times and know exactly what you mean about the abuse. Still cant believe you bent your 3500# axle. I was planning on taking my m-416 out there in October, I guess we will see how it does. Looking forward to seeing the mods your going to do. How far down baja do you go?
