While I was stuck in Cincinnati yesterday, the wife decided to start cutting the truck for the Bushwacker Cut-Outs.. She goofed.. :sad:



Now I'm F'ed..... this body just isn't worth sinking money into. I was thinking about installing a Ranger standard cab & fabbing a flatbed out of steel & wood.

Anyone have any pics of a ranger cab on a B2??

Thanks,
Bear

Is it because she didnt stay with the out line? I would think you could just do the same on the other side and equal it out. cover with the flares.:dunno:

It wouldn't look bad at all that way. Who knows..you might like it higher up!

Its ****ed... She traced the TOP of the flair & cut it out.. WAY too much. Now there's nothing to bolt the flair too. The amount cut is bigger than the flair itself..

The fact that she cut it herself is badass:headbang:
And the fact that it is cut too big means you can return the fender flares and use the money to buy bigger tires to fill up the gap... problem solved.

My credo
The fun begins where the pavement ends
Why not just weld the fender arch back on, reinforce it from the back and mount the flares as you normally would. You may need to ghetto-fab a different mounting system but it's not that bad.
