Crunched Fender Ideas
 
OK.... I had a bad day wheeling yesterday...maybe not a bad day, atleast a
bad 5 seconds...

John Cranfield and I were showing a couple girls that had attended the Jeep
Jamboree in BC and were in NS on vacation a trail that we had just cleared
this spring for the Jam. Victoria's Secret...

I was letting the Jeep pull me along in 2nd gear with no gas while
straddling some ruts.. I then saw a tree coming ahead and pulled closer to
the ruts to get around the tree and just as I was going around it my rear
wheels fell into the rut sending my fender directly into the tree...CRUNCH!
completely righting off the fender and then some at only, maybe 2 mph...

now here it is... The Jeep is almost new...2003 still stock other than skids
and 31" mudders.

What would you do??

New flat tube fenders (like poison spyders)
http://www.spydercustoms.com/index2....ers/index.html
now they look really kool and very functional for the type of wheeling I've
been getting into, like BIG rock krawlin'and can't drive by something
without putting my wheel on (I'm sure many of u know what I'm talkin'
about)but with no lift may look pretty silly...not sure when or if a lift
will be installed...

or should I have it restored to original, cause it is soooo new and
pretty... I must also mention that my moneys are tight...

It's almost a stupid question 'cause of the bias of the offroaders in this
group.... would also like to here from those who do own a newer Jeeps and
can sympathize with my tears I have shed...like I said...if I was rich...oh
well big deal...but for me "the poor boy", it hurts cause I'm so broke! I
just maxed the Visa on home reno's...

I love my Jeep and it breaks my heart knowing it may never look the same...
Be nice guys...it hurts!

Re: Crunched Fender Ideas
 
That's a pretty bad wrinkle, but if you want to skip the
deductible, you may take it off with just a few easy to get to bolts,
and lay it on some 2X4"s, and you'll find it surprisingly easy to
straighten out.
How you don't have to fear that first dent, which makes it so...
much easier to drive willie nelly through an obstacle course, and you'll
find it almost impossible to hit anything.
