    I love fat fenders.

    Would it be possible to fatten the quarters, around the wheel house circumference of the wheel housing, instead of the opening? That would leave the stock shape which you don't like, but could leave folks scratching their heads figuring out what's not right about it.

    Dave, you are right on removing the rear wheels and tires. I had a 8.5 under it with 15x7 strike wheels, 235/75/15's. After taking the shocks loose I had to let the air out of them to get them on or off, real pain. What about ramcharger style with mud flaps!! Seriously, I think I'll cut them and weld a 1/4 in rod on the inside and roll the fender around the rod. I want it clean and not just cut out. I'm going to take some 1/8 in tape and experiment. Inspector I'm with you on the way they are now, they're ugly. Thought about making a pattern of the front and laying it out on the rear. Either way I think I'll keep the rear fenders on, LOL.
