2006 Ford F-150 Fiberglass Install - Project Fast-150 - Four Wheeler Network
We’re talking about those trucks with unpainted fenders and maybe unpainted bedsides. However, we sort of got away with the look since our Ford is white, but it was time to finally shoot some color onto the ‘glass and have the truck completely painted again. We’d previously installed Glassworks Unlimited fiberglass front fenders and bedsides. The fenders we purchased offer a 4-inch flare and 3-inch rise at the fender arch over the stock fenders. We needed the extra room to accommodate the movement of our 37-inch BFGoodrich Baja T/A tires attached to a JD Fabrication long-travel kit that pushes each tire out 4 inches over stock. The Glassworks fiberglass bedsides for the ‘04-08 F-150 have a 4½-inch flare and 3-inch rise over stock. The front fender installation was fairly straightforward, being a bolt-on affair. With the new fender sitting in place, we checked for hood clearance, then marked, and drilled holes along the top edge to align with the existing holes on the metal inner fenders. We used a small standard twist drill to start holes and enlarged the holes with a step drill. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
