Hi guys,
I've seen a few things around and on the internet with some pretty cool off-road fenders on them. Was wondering is anyone has any info on where I can purchase a set or if they are just one-off jobs. I've included a few links below to give you an idea of what I'm talkin about.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The Thing Shop sells 4" wider front fiberglass fenders for $195 each. Check them out here. http://www.thethingshop-az.com/detail.a ... T_ID=181WF
On the other hand, some f folks simply trim a stock fender and mount it higher

Re: OFF-ROAD THING FENDERS
Thanks for the reply. I've got the thing shop glass fenders... but was interested in the pre-runner thing fenders that are out there and already glassed to sit higher. To be honest I'm trying to save myself the time of fabricating them myself
... I sounded a little like Austin Powers there....

Re: OFF-ROAD THING FENDERS
I have a wide rear set that I bought for a car that turned out not needing them/// I can take pics and offer them to anybody who wants what they offer for wide rear.
