got one rocker primered and the other luckily had ZERO bed liner on it!! yay!! so the stripper melted off the paint before i could even finish applying it. so that one should be sanded down tonight and primered as well

[basso4735]

definitely black to contrast the od a bit.

[LuckRider]

Wait.... take mount them temporarily, take some tape and tape a line extending from where the tube ends on the fender. Paint the top OD, and the bottom Gloss Black. Then paint the tube of the fender black. That would give a good contrast. For an example look at the pumkinator's build thread (Bennettj13's Jeep)

thats cool looking but a bit more work than i want to do on em. im just going to hit em with flat black

[AlTheKillerr]

Eh, you lazy young whippersnappers. You need to learn how to do things right the first time, and take pride in making your work the best it could be.

Lol, jk

[AlTheKillerr]

yeah i think it would look cool but the benefit of keeping it simple is that if i get some scratches i can just hit it with the rattle can instead of re taping stuff off and doing it. ill still give it some thought though

[AlTheKillerr]

got the rockers on today with the help of Ptr once again. he came and got me so i could get the the new hardware i needed not just for the rockers but also had to pick up some new body mount bolts. the ones i had werent long enough with the new beef on there. also a thanks goes out to George at round rock jeeps for helping me out. i think they look great and cant wait to get the other tube fender to complete this process

[johnoh]

looks sick i like your fenders im in the middle of building mine and after seeing yours i might tuck them in beside the hood ( mine is highlined thou)

[AlTheKillerr]

sounds awesome! im not a big fan of highlines but the tube highlines look good

[AlTheKillerr]

i repainted my mirrors and i think they look a million times better now





also heres a pic of the other side. looks like **** in my opinion. i need to do some painting



Edit: started painting that side. ive got the primer on it already just waiting for it to dry. i couldnt stand the way it looked any more

[AlTheKillerr]

some paint done. just waiting for it to dry then i can take everything off

[0blcktj6]

Looks great but how much clearance did you lose because of those tubes? It looks like an inch or so, right?

[AlTheKillerr]

yeah something like that but not enough that im worried about it. i never rubbed on top but along the back of the fender and these have an inch/inch and half extra clearance there
