May 3rd sounds like a good one to me. Brian, Dave... can you guys make May 3rd work?
 
 
Not going to be easy to get everybody together for this one though, seems like lots of schedule conflicts

I should be able to swing May 3rd, at least I might have a few extra parts on my rig by then.

I put the E&B classic fenders on my truck last week... so a little less mud spray. They look weird though, like a fender on a fender

It is soooo hard with schedules... I think we just have to plan and hope for the best!


I'll be in for an easy run on the 19th as I REALLY need to get out... 10th naturally works better for me, may not have the jeep done for the 3rd as really wanted that done before another and I know I will struggle being stock....


Will always do best to make anything work....

How do you like them? After the post over on CHC about fender flares I've been trying to get in touch with a few of the suppliers in Japan I used to get Nissan parts from to find the Stage Four flares, those looked pretty B.A.


I just can't justify the $500 price tag for the E&G flares, I like them but I'd almost rather hack, chop, & cut bushwackers to fit the T. I've been thinking about ordering a set of flaps from www.rallyarmor.com they used to have a few tall universal mudflap kits.

I  felt the same way about the E&G flares... so I went twith the 48'' version of these:

They do the job just don't look as good as purpose built flares!

They are ok, don't do much for the look of the truck compared to more aggresive flares, but when you look at the side it covers way more of the tire than it used to. I was a little bit unhappy they didn't come with mud flaps, all the pictures shown them with mud flaps, so a bit deceptive.
 
I had to trim them a bit to get them to work with my front bumper, but they fit like an OEM part otherwise, which is what you are really paying for. Aside from that it was like a 40 minute striaght forward install.
 
It should be enough to keep the police from giving me a hard time, which was the purpose of it in the first place.
