you can get fender rollers but they usually only work on cars. otherwise baseball bats work. Just need to sand and repaint like he did. I like the cut edge with the trim you used though Zack

 

thanks, too bad that trim wont stay on. haha

 

OH, he rolled the fenders not folded them. I have always heard it as rolled anyway. That is tricky to do without messing up the paint. Sometimes it can be done with heat and very slow progress, but usually ends up cracking the paint anyway.
Rolling fenders is normally done on lowered cars with wider wheels to prevent rubbing.
FYI you can normally find places to rent the rollers from. I have never seen one used to roll cut fenders but I suppose it could work the same. Difference is that on a car, they are rolling from the inside so you don't see the area where the paint sometimes cracks.

 

No I folded them. Used an adjustable wrench, stabs it from behind as you bend it and puts a perfect crease. Work in small very close increments or the metal above the bend ripples. After I had it bent pretty nice, I took a small block of wood and put it behind right in the crease and hit the folded back piece against it with a rubber mallet. Made a perfect 90 degree bend. Had to put a small cut in the part where the indented body line is to get it to bend right and ended up cutting a little too much. Welded it and ground it smooth. Then sanded it as the paint chipped. Then taped it off and paint about 2 inches of flat black. I'll get more pics. Its not perfect but I like it.

 

Oh, my bad. No reason that shouldn't look decent, if you could keep the paint in fair shape.

 

hey. about how many inches of suspension lift would you guess you have?? not just how much taller cause the tires throw off that number over stock. but just suspension lift?? thanks

 

no idea, would guess between 6-8"

 

thats what i was guessing... im at 6 inches of suspension with only the 3 inch bronco lift coils but i am using the stock coils buckets still... i want to use taller coils with the bronco buckets which are similar to the ones you made

 

Maiden trail voyage today, ready for 1 tons....









Did great all day, out crawled most of the group. Then I went to bump up a really technical 2 ledge crawl with the ledges spaced horribly for my wheelbase and the truck hopped and when it came down BANG! **** C Clips, such a *****. Got a spare shaft in in the rain and wheeled out but it confirmed its time for tons already.

 

that snap at the diff?

that's the 28 spline right?

 

try a 31spline expo axle first. the 28's are kinda weak. 31's are tuff!

 

hey! when are you buying my 31 spline 8.8??

 

you only have 1 pic of the truck one it first time out

 

hey genious! get some glasses, theres 2 pics of the truck!

 

Genious? lol

Ouch!..and yes **** c clips!

 

Wow, were you dancing on the limiter?!? I've got 37's on a FS 8.8 and i've have it pinned before and never broke.... Then again my 3.o doesn't exactly scream POWER either hahah

 

28 spline snapped at diff

Not wasting time and money on getting a 31 spline geared and under it, F that

Can't take pics while your driving

Was only at about 3K rpm

 

so not even a 9 inch...ur going straight to full size 1 tons? are u only putting one in hte back or are u gonna redo the whole front end also....i would think u would be fine with a 31 spline 9inch.....especially with 36's and a v6....my dad has a 28 spline 9 inch in his 68 bronco with 35's and a spool and a 5.0 putting out 400+ hp....he has yet to brake it

 

Doing front 60 14bltff rear. I'm not staying with 36's and most likely wont stay with the v6. I'm just gonna go all out once so I never have to do it again.

 

i call dibs on your front axle

 

Vid some kid took. You can hear my shaft snap. Shouldnt have tried to bump it, I had no idea what it looked like but the spotter said floor it and bump it from there. Bad idea
