im curious where you guys get your wide trailer fenders at?
im trying to find out where i can get the largest ones for the best price!
i see summitracing has some huge tubs but those sure aint cheap at like 90a pop! i see some from etrailer that look pretty wide at like 40 a pop. and also some from a more local tractory supply but they dont state width online so id have to make the drive just to measure there widest ones i can find.

i ran across this picture on FB and that looks great to me!

^ this was the before pictures when they did the work. which is what mine will most likely turn out more like.... but i really dont want it like that! hardest part for me is keeping the cruise control and stock fuse box there as it looks like they relocated it somewhere where i cannt see!


i know alot of people just dont run inner fenders BUT my truck is my daily driver and i work it when needed! i want to keep my engine bay as clean as i can make it! i plan on tearing apart my trucks front end this week but unsure how much ill blow thru to get it bagged to start out. im thinking ill just try to bolt everything in and see how that does and then further modify later after figuring out how much i really need! i dont plan on every running anything larger than 20s and thats still no time soon but i do wanna go low still ;) im thinking about driving to tractor supply and just measure what they got with hopes they got some wide enough OR if ill just buy one of there largest ones and then just cut it in half and weld on extra steel for a wider width to what i need or would like. i just dont want my truck to be down or up on jackstands for to long. my back up vehicle is my 66impala that has its share of problems i need to take care of already. and the old girl hates the highway speeds!

i got mine from northern tool. I removed my cruise control and welded a small tab on the firewall to mount the fuse box. also removed evap canister along with the ABS controller give alot more room but i don't get it inspected and i don't know how your state is on inspections. also completely removed the overflow tank to the radiator never noticed a problem but then again not a daily driver.

man i just got back from my local tractor supply and all they had where only like 9inch wide. and they where still like 45bucks each. to hell with that i just bought some new tie down brackets for my truck and left. i guess ill have to just order a pair from etrailer.com

^ that would looks to be the biggest one i can find thats still reasonably priced!
13" Wide x 36" long x 20" tall. This 16-gauge steel, for ruffly 110bucks for both shipped that seems reasonable to me for a wider setup. of course i might have to trim it down smaller or section around the abs unit but id rather trim some than not enough!

also ill be keeping my abs and cruise control so i just gotta relocate everything alittle which i think will be fine. the brake lines might be a tender touch put hopefully i wont kink any lines! maybe ill just see if i can smash both fusebox really close to the cruise control and just build a quick cover for both for cosmetics. and maybe just find something cool looking for a hood prop.
the more i think about this the longer i think my trucks going to be down stuck on jackstands. :( o well price ill pay to be bagged finally in front! i know its nickle and diming me to death here and there! fender tubs, air intake couplings and such and just more steel.
