Tube Fenders

[gray89XJ]

So I am in the progress of building removable tube fenders using 3/4" pipe, a pipe bender, and strap metal.

Any Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Yeah, where are the fender flares? I only see a piece of strap welded to the fender...

They are in progress.

It's not actually welded to the fender, just clamped on for now.
It will be bolted on with 10 1/4" bolts each side.

Why removable?
To keep the law dogs at bay?

One of the reasons colorado is great... We have the slackest vehicle laws in the US! I once drove around without a muffler for 3 months. 6 months with an expired tag.

I once shot a guy, and nothing happened...but you dont see me bragging about it on the internet.


I envision those tube fender flares pushing the fender in.

I just don't get it. All that work so you can take them off? Oh well, it's your rig...

What is "mod tech" about this? Put it in the picture showcase man.... like when you actually have pictures of the tube fender. What does the corner of the bumper have to do with anything?

I will be posting pictures of building them so others can get ideas, and the bumper picture is just there because.
