Finally got some fenders on my truck..

I didn't want to pay $500-600 for those plastic fenders everyone has so I made some. These will likely be temporary as I'll be eventually changing out the hitch for a 5th wheel. My welding is a bit very rusty but fairly happy with them.

I still need to cover up the frame and get my side boxes on. That will be next.

 

I don't mind the plastic ones but every set I see has broken mounts where they mount the fender to the metal bars. I can't see paying $500-600 for the mounts/fenders that I know will break. I mean all this time those fenders have been out and they can't be bothered to improve the mounts I simply don't want to give companies like that my money.

I was actually considering building a mold for fiberglass hotshot fenders so they could be painted body color but I had the 2 sheets of diamond plate that were identical in size and almost perfect length for fenders so I just built these. I'd have liked the diamond plate to be a bit longer so I could have done a more typical fender with the bend in front and back but screw it these will work better than my previous 2x2's bungee corded to the frame with mudflaps.. lol

 

The manufacurers are cheap. on flip side the 19.5 rims cost a lot more in most cases than semi-wheels.
