So I like the red brass knuckles and the lettering ,,, I got, CRAWL IT, SHIFT IT, DRIVE IT, PUSH IT, BACK IT, HOLD IT., Nope no grenade for me ,, too militant. I had him leave the center and those little side protectors metal finish and I plan on powder coating them yellow. The rest come powder coated gloss black.

So,,, needed to weld up those shock hoop supports , metal does strange things when heated so I put some 16 gage between those brackets , the fender wells are 16 gage , then bolted them so everything stays in alignment

Oh my gosh ,, I think these flares are going to work,, I feared my opening might be too large but I managed to stretch it out at the bottom and I think it will work , gotta do some small body work to it but allot easier than fabbing my own. Here is some I found on the net I liked look easy enough , yes I could have made them but a week of each one,, no way

Coppers in our area are pretty used to lifted trucks and jeeps with tires that protrude beyond the fenders, so locale I don't think I will have a problem . Once out of town I'm sure I will fab up some light plexi glass to add to the polyurethane flares .
