Baja / prerunner style fenders - Glassworks

33's are a tight fit:
If I flex any further it starts grabbing the treads.
I just got my fiberglass fenders on to fix the rub but i still have some. Looks like it has alot of space but that is just b/c I started digging myself a hole in the pile, Look at the white spot on the back of the fender.

you got the baja type fiberglass fenders, more pics are a must, come on now dont keep me waiting i have thought about using those myself, i would like to see what they look like though, you have a 2in BL correct, so your gap is gonna be 2in's bigger than mine if i run those fenders, sorry, thinking out loud

I still haven't decided if I like them or not yet. Ill have to let them grow on me .
These things were REALLY hard to put on, required ALOT of fabrication and cutting. Took my friend and I like 8 hours and we are both very skilled in car works. And we made the mistake of making the inner fender well out of this galvanized steel instead of something thicker so every time a rock hits it, it pings and rattles.
They were 330 shipped, they come gloss white.

There is a link to the GlassWorks fenders under "mods" on the home page. I think they are $310 a pair. Their link to hoods takes me to another fender which I know isn't a 2nd gen S-10 and I don't think it is a 1st gen either. I have toyed with the idea of the front glassworks fenders but, don't know if it is practical for a daily driver.

I don't know about the looks... I like having everything look the same from both sides. For instance, the frnt fenders look like there is 12" of gap between the fender and the top of the tire as compared to the rears which look like there is 6". I think a set of rears should be made to make it look similar...

the flare is different, the raise is three inches on both the front and back, the flare is what makes it look like a bigger gap, if they were the same front and back then you either wouldnt be able to steer or you would have a huge gap in the back for nothing, the front is gonna be bigger because it has to clear larger tires during full lock and flexed out, the back wheels dont turn so they don't need to be as big, does that make any sense

If you are talking to me 3.5" backspacing. If i wouldnt have found them for soooo cheap i probably would have gotten 4" backspacing or more b/c these rub like a mother. Well..... only when i hit areas where i am turning and hit a relatively large bump.
