So guys my truck is about to go under construction for a little while since i finally got my new truck to drive. I'm Looking at running the FiberWerx front and rear fenders 33x13.50xR20 toyo open contry mt or a 33x12.50xr20, 35x12.50xr20 mud tire and the new magnaflow Pro series turn down before the rear axel what do you guys think of the setup and how durable and are there any fitment issues with the Fiber glass fenders

If it fits and looks like the the black truck in the pictures should be bad ass.

x2...should look good if it's like the one in the picture. I really like the look of the Toyo Open Country's as well.

I like fiberglass for the weight savings, but there's always going to be fitment issues, but it's not the fault of Fiberwerx or any other manufacturers. It's just the nature of the glass itself. It expands, it contracts, it shrinks, it warps, it does everything that steel doesn't do, so it requires way more time to get it faired out & the panel gaps right. If they're vacuum molded, then they'll be better than mold & plug, but will still take 4 or 5 times longer to get right than replacing a steel fender & getting it ready for paint. If you have the extra time it would be interesting if you'd keep this thread active on this project & keep us updated with a few pics & work log.

thanks for the reply guys ya if i do it will be somthing like the black one not sure if i want to change of my front bumper or not yet the only problem i got with the fiber glass fenders is going from winter to summer where im to im also going to be installing a tire gate bed mount just wondering what everyone is use for a spray in bedliner http://www.tiregate.com/bed_mount_0.shtml

There like any other fiberglass parts, they do need fitting and some massaging. They do chip from rocks etc.. I know on my body style (2000-2006) you have to cut the stock bed sside off to mount the fiberglass flares.

im getting a pricew of all the fenders from a company in bc and then im going to see a buddy of mine and what he will charge for the paint and i might instal it my self depending but if the price is way up there i might go with just the repair on my truck and get cut out fenders im also looking at adding this bumper but im not sure if it was a one of a kind of company bought.

Because the fiberglass fenders are made mostly for racing you have to fab mounts for them. One reason they don't fit well also is because there made mostly for race trucks they get replaced because of wrecks, rubbing on each other etc..

 

[Burden33]

what it will cost to get all for on and paint shipped im better off just fixing the rear and get the bushwacker pocket style flares and pating them white

 

[silveradotrailblazer]

I'd say go with the Bushwhackers. I think you'll be happier in the long run.

 

[Burden33]

im going to be going with the bushwackers for the fact my truck sees alot of gravel roads and i dont want to take the change and destroying a fiberglass fender and trying to replace it.
