M818 opinion needed: Quarter fenders or not?

[MyothersanM1]

I'm thinking of removing the quarter fenders on my 818. What do all you think? Better with or without?

I think it looks better without...

If you go with bigger rubber then loose them. If you are going to keep it on the street and you like it better without then loose them.

Going to go where you might throw rocks...then I'd keep'em.

Would a rear blow out throw enough tread that it could open the tank up? If so I'd keep'em.

Truck looks good by the way.

Looks wise, without.
Functionality wise, with.

And like said, with bigger tires you need to take them off or relocate them anyways.

I like them , id add a quarter fender rubber flap like on semi trucks to cover up some of the open gap between the quarter fenders and the bed. I like the mud flaps in the back alot! Im toying with the idea to weld the back bed drop down like on the 813's and 814's to a Duece bed if I add one to my M818 so there isnt a large gap or open area in the back. Wil look alot more like a 813 if I did that also.

You may want to check the DOT regs....mudflaps my be required in your state to keep down spray on wet roads.

 

[donttreadonmebmg]

keep em on.

I would leave them on, unless you change your wheels to larger ones. Nice truck!

 

[Ord22]

leave them on! most states will require you to have them on.

If you decide to remove them, I'd LOVE to grab those from yah. I'm all the way up in the bay area, but I'm sure we could figure something out. I've got the flat plate mudflaps that bolt to the underside of the bed if you want those. I just want to anchor my mudflaps to the frame because I'm not always going to have the M109 box on the back of Mah Deuce.

Thanks...Hannibal had just received a pre-car show bath. He was looking quite dapper that afternoon.

I would leave them on. One errant missile from the roadway, and the tank is leaking( You should see what a 1/4 20 bolt does to an fuel tank when tossed off a tire at high way speed).

If they come off I am going to put Deuce style mud guards on. I have a WTB ad listed in classified if anyone is trying to unload some. I am trying to omit that gap from the underside of the bed with the mudguards coming straight down..
