What about making the "flair" section disconnectable? I've seen that concept on wronglers before and thought it was pretty cool. Just a suggestion. I just dont know how much extra work that would be. Looking good though! Keep up the great work!

well its 7 gauge steel for the panel, the tube im not sure exactly, and the connecting piece is just thin sheet metal. all just welded together and its going to be bolted to the fender not welded. and once you see the bumber you will understand why they are so wide

i think he ment to section of the flare that sticks out from the panel. the part that covers the wheels. making it removable to narrow your body for maneuvering tight areas. personally i wouldnt but i think thats what he means.

well it would be pointless to make them removable because my tires still stick out that far
