Possible Group Buy - Flat Steel FJ40 Rear Fender Protection

[Fast Eddy]

Ok it's a stock look then, was getting confused with all the axle move talk i guess. The only change would be hole locations since there's no lip under the fender to attach.

Yes. If I were you, I'd weld some sheet metal tabs onto the bottom of what you have and have the fender protection overlap (barely) what's left. One or two of my bolt holes only catch the sheet metal by half or less of a hole. I use a big washer so it holds on enough.

Maybe post a pic of what you've got.

Update: I dropped one of my flares at a shop that @pjohnson pointed me to. They have a $600k laser cutter.

Please respond with current interest. The guy said he could do the counter-sinks for a reasonable price as well, so those will probably be s small cost-add option. $20/set

$235/set unless we get four sets at once.

I'm still interested.

 

[RolandFJ40]

Me too

 

[Fast Eddy]

Me too

I put you on the list. I also heard from @Cruiserdrew in the PM thread.

 

[Fast Eddy]

Bump. These are getting cut this week. Countersinking option added for $20/pair, less than the cost of the bit from McMaster. $10 discount ($225) if we can get one more order.

 

[RolandFJ40]

Good was wondering how this was going today... I'd like the countersink option, any more takers???

 

[Fast Eddy]

Picking these up today. One set is still up for grabs.

These are awesome. Are the holes mimicking the fender flare holes from the bushwhacker type flares?

 

[Fast Eddy]

The holes are kinda random. As I recall I wanted three across the top, so I spaced them evenly to make that happen. The hole at the front is not drilled by the mfg so the installer can choose to move it around as necessary based on placement fore-and-aft.

Thanks for starting another buy, these look like the perfect solution for my butchered quarters.

Hi @Fast Eddy, I know it's been more than 6 months since the last post here, but are you still up for making these?

Thanks!
Peter

 

[Fast Eddy]

Happy to add you to the list above.

 

[Pierps]

Thanks. Although it looks like I probably shouldn't hold by breath if it's just two of us at this point.

 

[Fast Eddy]

I am willing to fund the 4th set myself as I have done in the past. We really only need one more.

 

[Pierps]

Sweet. Get on the train, people!

 

[todt]

I'll take a set if possible. Been looking for this thread for a few weeks.

Total dick move: please take me off the list. I decided to replace my quarter panels instead. Sorry guys.

Disagree. Do what is best for you and your rig! Added @todt.
