Trailer Question #2

when in doubt, upgrade!

So Jordan, Utah
So I am in the process of replacing the deck on my lil trailer and I am thinking, "hell, while I have it apart I might as well make some drive over fenders"

I have seen the big bad 3/16" fenders and I have also seen tubing/angle iron the just goes over the existing fenders.

Anyone have any success stories? Any don't do's?

Any Suggestions?

As always thanks in advance. :D
 
I used 1/4 inch diamond plate for my fenders with no added bracing and they have help up great. I even had an explorer fall off a high lift jack and land on my fender and left no damage.

I have a piece of 1.75" tubing going up/over/down my factory sheetmetal fenders, right above the inside edge. It's been there about 8 years now, with no further damage to my fenders. (they were starting to get bendy and wrinkly from rubbing tires against them, or whatever) The ends are welded to the square-tube chunks at either end of the fender, then welded to the fender itself. (more to reinforce the fender than the other way around)

Thank you I used diamond plate for added traction I always hop out of my jeep right onto the fender so slick painted steel would probably have caused my death
