I wish this $$ was going towards my truck build, bills come first and I took this week off without pay (at my full time job).

Using Rage extreme and a 3 " spreader

Worked the right bedside today and do you believe I didn't take a single pic. It would be boring pics anyway.

It took 5 batches to wipe the whole bed side. It sounds like a lot, but those are big panels.

While I was gone this is what came.





So far I'm impressed with the wheel tubs. I just took them out of the box and took pics I haven't had much time to inspect them any closer.

We had a good time doing what ever the kids wanted to do. It was cheap intertainment. Ride bikes, play games watch a movie, play horse shoes (plastic) ride bikes again, fish, explore, and go to the beach, feed the ducks. Come to mention it, I'm tired.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I was wondering how close the Brothers wheel wells looked to the factory pieces. From the pictures you posted close enough for me. Let us know if you have any fitment issues.
