I've decided my next project will be fender flares. I found these on ebay for $200.

They are shipped from Poland, made from fiberglass, and come without hardware. I'm planning on buying the hardware from Summit Racing for $66 which will put me $234 plus shipping cheaper than bushwhackers which is cool in my book. Any thoughts?

Ordered the fender flares on the 4th. ETA estimate is Oct 26-Nov 5. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping nothing goes wrong.
I have also done some more research and decided to go with Serious Offroad's long arm upgrade kit. From what I have read on various forums, the customer service is awesome and the product itself is BEEF. I am willing to pay more for a better customer experience. That is the next thing on my list after I scrape up enough cash.
On the sound system, I am still chasing electrical gremlins. I get a lot of background feedback as well as alternator whine while driving, for some reason my radio cuts out when I roll up more than one window at a time, and my rear battery keeps draining empty. Fun stuff.

Flares came in today, a little earlier than expected so o don't have the hardware yet. Just ordered it on amazon a couple hours ago. Might trim fenders this weekend and install flares if the hardware gets here.

Got one on tonight. A lot of trial and error. Gotta go buy some drill bits and saw blades in the morning. The rest of the flares should go on a little quicker since I have an idea of what I'm doing now.

Sorry for not posting lately. I couldn't really have fun at gulch es yet. Still gathering my 4x4 swap parts. I should be able to get a jump on that when I get my tax refund. Also looking at long arms, 1 ton steering, and 35s sometime this year.
