Front fender building time! We use 1.5''ID DOM tubing that has a 3/16'' wall thickness, 3/16'' steel bracing and 14 gauge top sheet that gets fully welded to form a super strong River Raider Tube fender.

The rear fenders are moved back 8'' to allow for the Rock Krawler stretch suspension kit. These stretched corners and rear fender builder kits are now available at riverraider.com

We have been sending them out as a kit so that the fender height width and fitment can be dialed in to ensure the perfect finish. However we are offering them as complete welded units on a limited basis. Feel free to call and we can go over the options.

This project will be getting the new Rock Krawler coilovers on all four corners.
After removing the factory spring buckets and upper shock mounts we tacked in the new RK coilover mounts.

The Rock Krawler three link stretch system comes with this truss setup for the upper third link. With great street and off road handling the RK long arm systems have worked great on many of the rigs we have built.

The tub was smoothed out with a 10'' sub enclosure mounted in the back at the owners request. We also rerouted the wiring for the taillights and tailgate under the vehicle in water proof tubing to clear out the tub.

The Epoxy Coat finish that we use on all our fenders and bumpers was also applied to the entire tub and wheel wells.
