Wider fenders, anyone thinking about it?

[volksnuts]

I contacted Advanced Fiberglass Concepts to see if they had any plans to make wider fenders for the Maverick and their response was "if we get enough interest then it is a possibility. However at this time we do not plan on it"
SO if anyone does have at least a moderate interest in something like that feel free to send them an email [email protected]

They make some beautiful fenders for the Bronco (which is what gave me the idea) in two widths

It would be awesome to have the option to get a curvy (think Raptor) look to our little trucks

Yes I am aware about half of you think changing any parts is stupid, so you don't need to comment

Man it’s prob more like 75% think modifying is dumb . I’m down to see what it would look like at least

Do you mean fender flairs? Otherwise how exactly would you replace the rear “fenders”.

They are not welded, I assume there would be some panel adhesive but it would be just like replacing bedside on an F150 (probably easier)
When you open the back doors you can see it's bolted on

How do you replace a bedside on a F150? Are you talking about fender flairs or suggesting replacing everything on both sides except the doors?

 

[Johnkn]

In order to do what AFC does to the Bronco you would need to replace both front fenders, and virtually the entire ‘bedside’ area. Everything would be replaced with the exception of the doors. Cutting the back panels off on a unibody truck and replacing with fiberglass would compromise rigidity and strength especially with a load in the bed and would promote cracking. The only thing that be cost effective on these trucks is a set of fender flairs, color matched or not.....

please review the building a Maverick video

the "bedsides" are not structural

Also the rear pieces of a Bronco are removable as well (much easier of course)

All i want is some raptor style fender flares. Im hoping someone will make them soon.

I cant wait till 10 years from now, and we can come across a 4 piece fiberglass kit on craigslist. Of course by then I will have upgraded to second gen Bronco Sports control arms, added the twin clutch rear end, lincoln axleshafts(potentially longer based on future hope), 3.5" lift springs, and a upgraded turbo, with a performance head and torque cam.

What do yall say to 10" of suspension travel 32" tires, wide stance, 350hp in a compact 3800lb package.

I am looking forward to seeing fiberglass parts being made especially fenders. It opens up the possibilities of more customizations. I could easily see a raptor style kit being made. Personal I would want something more retro like a 61 Unibody.
