anyone got any pics of duallys with widened fenders . thinking im going do it but wanted to see what it looked like before i go through all that work.. just really dont want to have to change my bags set up and cut into my bed, change bottle rack location and re spray bed liner..

put up a side shot i wanna see wat the 22s look like with the escalade front end..........

Piss on it! Just run it the way it is. That would be HOT!

I don't think I have any pics but what I did was took some 1 1/2 inch c channel and drilled straight throught the 2 opposing sides. Then I bolted them to the fenders and then bolted the whole thing to the bedside. Before that I put a layer of poster board on the side of the bed between the c channel and the bed side. Then I used a ton of fiberglass resin and matting to fill in the gap, most places are at least 1/4" thick. Then I did a few more layers overlapping the fiberglass fender about 4 inches or so after scuffing the f/g with 32 grit so it would adhere good. After the rough in with resin was done I sanded the hell out of it to get it as flat as possible. Then used fiberglass body filler to fill in any gaps and holes, then body filler to finish it off. They are not totally finished yet cuz I got so sick of sanding that I gave up until this winter and I will pay a body shop to finish them. Then I flipped them over and put more resin and mat overlapping the fender on the inside like another 4 layers thick. They are heavy as hell now but have survived 3 or 4 thousand miles without cracking yet. I did not raise mine though just widened them. If you are not a bd then you may not have to raise them but I would do it while your at it cuz you know eventually you will have to bd it and you will kick yourself in the ass for not doing it right the first time.

i'll have to raise mine soon, but i've now gotten a shortened rear so hopefully i don't have to go any wider. I"m going to try and keep mine under the body line, but now that i'm looking at it, i'm not sure. I'm just not a fan of raising them to the top of the bed. Why don't u get a narrowed rear? I know outlaw (joel) hasa guy that can narrow them if you can't find a cab/chassis rear. I have a SRW 14 i'm selling which will shorten u up a few inches, but not enough to tuck those big wheels. LOL

the main reason i dont want to change the rearend is because i would have to change my bag set up and i dont want to do that. I work at a body shop so it would be free do just extend my fenders? i just wanted to see how they looked (if it made truck look to dam wide) looks like i will need to widen about 2 1/2 inches

this is the only pic i got of the front right now! as you can tell i got a wrecker 4 runner in the way of taking a good side shot

lol, its easier for me to do suspension than body work. LOL

this dually had its fenders widen, i think he said they were maybe ~4 inches wider.bringing his dually width just under the legal limit of 8'8" for highway operation.

That would make it real fun to park, a extra 8" wider, LOL


Soo, lilj, is that a APC sticker in yer box? LOL

Few pics of my fender widening expierence. They are about 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller. I didnt stop to take many progress pics. I used little pieces of sheetmetal strap to hold the fenders ridged while i glassed everything in. Funny to me how the factory fenders look to small now. good luck.
