    anyone worked with much abs before? im really on the fence about pulling off my glass fenders due to having no liners. im contemplating making my own but don't know if it would be a lost cause. any and all help would be appreciated. if I cant come up with a good solution to keep mud out of the engine bay and off the back of my headlights, im going back to stock fenders and liners.

    You could get a thin plastic or cardboard and make-up a template till the real McCoy shows up.

    lol man, you legit took the idea right from my mind. already gathering boxes at work to take home and cut up. gonna start tonight. decided to go with aluminum white rivets instead of push clips to fasten them to the inside of the fender... no eye sores. now just have to make them clear 37s...

    I absolutely will. ive REALLY been between a rock and a hard place here.i love the look of my fenders...only downside is no inner fenders, and I have to run spacers to really fill out the width...1.25 spacers on zero offset wheels with 37s... body mount is pretty much non existent. but if I go back to stock fenders, I lose a lot of extra clearance... I can eliminate the spacers and gain liners... so I think ill give this an honest try. and if it works. good. Ill roll with it, if not, its back to stock fenders.

    So looking at this thread I went and took a peek at the frame on the tundra... there’s no undercoating on it. My gmc was thick with under coating... what’s going on here? Why did they forgoe the undercoating??
