OK now I have to add fenders to my wish list!!

Those fenders are looking great! If other manufacturers don't hurry up, I may end up buying a set of these! I was a little skeptical when I saw them in the Gatorhyde, but the black looks perfect.

You guys did a great job. Cool finish also, I went with the less lumpy one, looks great.

The detail work is great, the fenders fit the curved shape of the jeep wheel wells perfectly. I like the "button head bolt" for the one exposed bolt on each front fender, nice touch. I did not realize how "curvey" the jeep was until I tackled putting these on.

I think your rockers might be next.

Hehehe... Well, thats 2005 996 Turbo S. It's been heavily modified... it makes 540 AWHP (all wheel horsepower) on pump, and 580 on race. It makes over 580 foot/lbs of torque at the wheels on pump... so... it makes just under 700 crank. The car is also 250lbs less than it was stock. Extensive suspension work also... A thread of it's own, the mod list for the car goes on forever... the mods on that make the jeep look affordable. My wife has one also, and I've been modding it for her.

The Audi in the background is actually pretty cool... it's an S8... so basically it's an A8 with bigger brakes, stiffer suspension and a Lambo sourced v10.

I had a small business that I ran for 14 years, got lucky and sold it for pretty serious cash... after 14 years of trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents you don't really expect anything as exciting as a buyout to happen.

Well... the one at the top would drill through and hit a big 1" bundle of wiring harness... I could move it, but didn't want to... and it was pretty close to the support bar that welded to the inner subframe already so I didn't see much gain. The other, I didn't install yet. I will install it, but I can't get my drill in there and haven't figured out how to make a 1/4" hole in the inner subframe. I did install the bottom one, that one was easy!

I guess I would have had to drill the holes prior to mounting the fender, I didn't think of that until I spent some serious time trying to get nuts on all those short little bolts with two flat washers and lock washer to boot.

Kit suggestion: Make all 3/4" bolts 1", make all 1" bolts 1 1/4" hehehe...

My wife won't let me sleep in the garage... otherwise, I might!

They fit really good with the 37's on there. I'm switching them up though. I have 40's coming and some Dynatrac 60's going under the beast.

The AEV's are really heavy though, and with all beadlocks they aren't great to balance.

Hehehe... it's not that... it's the time. I've got a newborn and 5 year old and my wife would kick my ass (again) if she see's me screwing with fenders again!

I'm 240 lbs and I sat on them and they didn't budge... that said, I will probably eventually end up putting in those extra parts because I know they should be there.

What are you doing for inner fenders? On the passenger side there are a lot of wires and fuse box that I wouldn't want to fill full of rocks or muck or for that matter shatter with rocks?

I'm thinking of carefully cutting out the stock liners to be more open than stock but cover that critical area and the padding on the firewall that becomes exposed?

The boyz at RR should make a cut out template for hacking up the stock inner fenders!

looks great!
