Getting the Wheeling Fever
So in looking for aftermarket goodies, our choices are limited. So I am wondering to meself, what other vehicles have similar dimensions that we could buy parts for to fit our 1st Gen SWB Raiders?
Things I would like are:
Hood Scoop(working or just show), windshield visor, fiberglass fender flares, front brush guard or bull bar.

Anyone? Thanks Gentlemen!

You maybe younger and can run faster, but I am older and have been around long enough to know where all the shortcuts are!

That's a hard question. Most of us are not into bling bling parts that will be rip off the first time you take your truck off road. We are more into body lifts, rock sliders, lower gears etc. I guess the closest bling bling I have is my snorkel, but I've heard it's a chick magnet, don't know for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't mind a set of fender flares for my truck. I'm not into bling, but they'd be functional and look good.

Get the rubber flares from JC Whitney. Look great, expecially for the price. Plus they can take a mild hit and won't crack.

Cool, thanks guys. Those DO look good. I had experience with ones like those many years ago, it did NOT turn out that nice lol.

JCW only shows the 4" model, but you can get the 2 1/2" ones from Amazon
