Custom inner fender ideas.

[DREAMER1]

I'm wondering why nobody has suggested Slosh Tubz. They are prefabricated inner fender wells that will fit a larger tire diameter on bags, but look factory. Very clean look to them.

Because they weren't available when this 4yr old thread was started. It was only brought back up TTT last week by someone wanting info on N2TRUX's old modified inners from his Blazer (which was sold before Slosh Tubz were even created).

Slosh Tubz are great looking but they still allow dust to get into the engine bay + if you have a vintageair system there will be some cut'n that has to be done.

I'm pretty sure dust can get in regardless. I know both my C10 & dually were dusty & required cleaning w/the OE inner tubs.

N2TRUX,

I am on the verge of doing this. How many inches did you elevate the fender?

Thanks.

I added enough sheetmetal on the bottom to raise it for the clearance and kept the stock fender in the bed.

Love those custom rear taillights!

Do you have any info or a thread on how you did that? They are pretty awesome.

Because SLOSH TUBS though very nice are just so expensive.

All things relative.... They're equal in price vs if you paid a shop to fabricate & finish out some sheetmetal units.

something im working on

[C10_Dreamin]

Currently working on a 3" elevation. I want the OEM look...so far so good.

Pic is deceptive as it looks like there's more than a 3" gap between the 2 sections. Good start though....

Scoti: I made several cuts so they'd meet at a somewhat even plane. Without it, it would look like a 90 degree drop and less original looking.

Agreed 100%. That's how I was going to do mine until I got the SloshTubz for $50. If I wouldn't have won them, I would be doing something similar.
Still might do something similar.....

When I did mine I just raised the entire inner up 3". I'd do a few things different if I were to do it again, but for the most part it work out alright.

$50 SloshTubz?! Nice!! I thought about those but I think these would fit the look I'm going for; too bad there's nothing aftermarket like the one N2TRUX made. I'm hoping mine look as good as his when I'm done with both inner and outer fenders.


@Desperado I agree with the "I'd do a few things different if I were to do it again..." Thanks for the input.

[C10_Dreamin]

Finished up the fiberglass, lightweight resin with microspheres (Q-Cell), and body filler...pain in the ass but I like the way they're coming out.

[SCOTI]

Nice work. Shape is looking good & has a definite OE flow.

[C10_Dreamin]

****bump****

N2TRUX, do you know if those fenders that you posted had any issues with the wiring harness or a/c components clearance? I'm almost done with mine but I think I may have to make some more cuts to clear these.

[TKCR]

Not sure that its the best pic to see, but I have those chrome fenders in mine.

[bbbc10]

I don't think those inner fenders are the ''custom" fenders this thread is about
