Looks good but why are there 3 pictures from the front and no sideshots or anything?

 

[zhanx]

cause i am lazy am tired, i'll post the sides shots in the morning after i wash my finger prints off of it in the morning

 

[etc]

It's cause it was dark outside isn't it? Afraid of the dark are we?






Looks sexy btw.

[AlanGoering]

[bmxking5]

cost well perry jr hooked a brother up on them (military discount) but you can get them for like 400 shipped to where ever (cant give out the price sorry)

Cool! You gonna throw on 35s? Oh and by the way, the front bumper looks really good.

after the 33's i just bought two weeks ago get a little more worn and i get the full width front and they still fit.. .then yes i will get 35's .

the door gaps will never be perfect. You will have to shim your door hinges to get closer, also re-hang the doors to space out the front/rear/top/bottom gaps evenly.

This is no small job fitting glass fenders, trust me!

Also had to move the hood around a bit.
Perry's fenders are good, you will like them

Who says they need paint? Gelcoat is easier to care for and your truck is already white

What are you gonna do about the inner fender skirts? I can show you how I did mine. I still need to fabricate a couple pieces of ABS plastic to protect the door hinges and my parking lamps up front.

Well i got the drivers side close and it matches the body lines.

this is day two and its fun

i am gonna use fleece i think and do it up like that... or pond liner/roof plastic (not pool). i still need to reverse my airintake to the drivers side and snorkle it . todays project is antenna in the factory location. here's a sneak peak :

as for the doors.. nope... not gonna move them, i'll shim and trim the fender. after all is done i start on the lower body kit/ trim. i still have to cut it and glass it together and rework to fit the fender

 

[zhanx]

btw on the antenna waiting for the glass under it to dry to put it all together

 

[zhanx]

ok its dry i got threee layers and its goood

tell me what you think

Looks sweet! Good job!

 

[FAT CAT]

Looking good! I see a lot of Explorers with front and rear glass down here & they really look great! I wish they still made the 3" wide ones, I'd put them on my truck.

 

[410Fortune]

I believe you can still get 3" glass......

 

[j602]

I believe you can still get 3" glass......

Where? For first gens too? I hate the big bulge ones. (Yeah that sounded gay... )

 

[BigDave!!!]
