dhkonrad's 93 ford ranger

[doker]

Thanks!

They are actually just garden edging from Home depot. All four cost me about $7.50. I bought a 20' roll, and then just stuffed them up on there and used phillips head sheet metal screws with large heads on them to screw them onto the fender. I got the type of lawn edging that has a lip on the bottom, so I folded that around the lip in the fender, which holds the fender flares in there better. Idk if that makes sense. I can draw a picture or take a picture if you want.

that's what I thought it was , hey if it works it works ,and yes could you take a picture or draw it out for me ,thanks

Okay here's a picture:


I put screws about every 6-8 inches.
Start in the middle of the fender and work out. You can play around with how far in you push the fender to make it have a better profile. I found it best to have the flare sit in a little at the top of the fender, and I cut the lip so they could stick out more at the bottom.

like yea:




You can see in these pictures of my truck that the top is a little narrower than the bottom, but I should have done more







If you want better pictures I can

Maybe I should do a write-up for the tech library on Home Depot fender flares...

Yeah the fenders make them look even smaller. I hope to upgrade to 37s at some point, but cant justify it with brand new 35s...

This is one mean looking truck man. I see it all the time on campus. I am the one who parked next to you the other day in an old white f100. You were basically the same size lol. How much lift do you got?

Thanks dude!

I just saw your post on the "introduce yourself" section

You know, Between the SAS and everything, I'm not sure at all how much lift I have. In looking at the front compared to the rear, I would say only like 3 inches. But it has to be more than that. Maybe Ill find a stock ranger to measure off of and see.

Edit: After I thought about it for a second, depending on the year of your truck, we have pretty much the exact same front axle in both of our trucks

I only have 3.5" of lift over a stock 4x4 ranger.

Good to know. So then my guesstimate of 3 probably wasn't too far off

Probably why this truck looks so good, its not a crazy lift. Just what is needed.

Thanks man.
As soon as anyone hears I have a "modified" truck they always ask how much I lifted it. I never paid attention to how much I ended up with, so my response is I didn't lift it. I straight axled it... lol

You have a cj as well?
