Going to need glass fenders, need help

Yellomantis · 10-27-2006, 10:58 AM

What are the differences between the Hanneman and the glassworks fenders and bedsides? Which are the easiest to install and paint? I heard the glassworks have fitment issues with one side. Also, which have the best fit (factory look) without a ton of prep work? Or would I be better off going with a one piece front end like Greg?

The "lift" I'm getting is going to have a 3" wider track than stock. Combined with rims and bigger tires, I'm not sure what fenders I'll need. Would I be OK to run the lift without the fenders for a while on the street until I can see which I need with the wheel/tire combo? Greg?

From what I've read the Hanneman also have fitment problems and is a b!tch to work with.

I ran Hanneman's on my 98' Ford Ranger. I was happy with fit, but that doesn't mean they go from the box to your truck.
On fitment alone they took several hours, the first one took the longest because we had to figure out a few issues. Be prepared to spend all day just for fitment.

You have to realize these fenders are for off road, not for show. I'm not saying the can't look and fit good, just that they usually don't have quite the look as factory steel.

Hey Casey send a pm out to Maxima619. His company is working on a set of perfect fit ready to go wider fenders. Heres a picture he posted on another forum.
