I have a guy who might be willing to make fiberglass fenders for our 3rd gens. He says he's not accepting any custom work right now. But has told me if there was enough people interested, he'll consider making them.

I don't have a price yet... but I'm assuming it'll be around $350-$400 per pair. Not including shipping.

i want vents in the fender to facilitate a CAI drawing air through the fender and into the engine bay

i'm interested in the fiberglass fenders.....lighter and more opportunities to modify them than sheet metal. count me in and keep me updated via this thread.

hmmm.... this SHOULD prove to be interesting (as all of "these" threads are). Keep us posted.

He does offer a few different style of vents. I'd have to talk to him about that. It might be easier to get the fenders and vents seperate, and cut out a hole for the vents.

I'm just interested in the fenders themselves, no vents. i plan on adding my own vents in the future.....here in iraq theres this broke down SUV with wicked vents i was thinking about getting, but thats why i want fiberglass, so i can modify if i want....ok i think its time to go, when theyres literally FLYING crickets, not jumping, flying... i think its a sign (iraq is weird.) keep me posted

I was just there in Kirkuk for awhile. Even saw a 3rd gen while I was up there. Better than where I'm at here in Afghan though. Sad ain't it? I'd rather be in Iraq getting shot at every other day. Than over in Afghan. Living standards were so much better there in kirkuk.

Keep your butt down over there. Need you to come back so this guy will have some business.

lol...osama bin fenders! hey, thats a great idea......now to figure out how to make them dust proof.....

by the way, im close to tikrit...place caled fob cobra, not bad at all, but the worst of the fobs in iraq (fob = forward operating base) and we still dont have it too bad, its already getting hot though

kcidmil

I hit at the best time... plus Kirkuk was toward the mountains. The mud was just plain nuts... Like driving on ice. I had my own little 4 door Nissan pickup to drive around while I was there.

Glad I was on a actual base, FOB's could get real "hot" real fast. But hey, AF tends to keep it's people tucked away...LOL.

Ashland sounds familiar. I'm trying to remember exactly where it was. I used to live in Paris... 14 miles west of Kentucky Lake.

ashland city is right outside of nashville, just to the west, nice little town, peaceful. and yeah, i took hummers out all winter in the mud.....our fob doesnt really get too 'hot' with attacks anyways...mortars do of course. where were you at, LSA Anaconda?

kcidmil

Now I know why it sounded so familiar. My dad used to work for Cyanede plastics there in Nash. I remember seeing the sign for Ashland when i'd got to work with him sometimes during the summer. That was a long time ago.

ok ok ok...fenders or iraq?

kcidmil

Realized I was getting off track... Fenders... of course. 2 people so far, and a couple of sit asides. I'm waiting for an email back on how many sets he'd require to make it worth it.

ustfdes, left a PM

kcidmil

Bump, using this thread for the fenders.

I don't see how these could be of any particular advantage over the stock ones. Lighter? I doubt it. Stock ones are like feathers.

kcidmil

Modification I guess. Of course, metal is easy to work with too. I'm not interested in them myself. I'm going to have enough fun with my hood scoop.
