Henderson, Colo.-based Outlaw Customs cofounder Andy Gobel says an hour or two of prep work is required to do the job well. Fenders from most major fi berglass fender manufacturers come with marked drill spots, says Nic Gillan, Outlaw's product engineer. To see if they work, clamp fenders in place and locate your drill locations by leveling the front of the fender with the bottom of the truck's grille. Mark drill spots if necessary. While the fender is clamped for fi tting, fi gure out any clearance issues or personal height preferences for the rear side of the fender. Measure the desired height and use a piece of tape as a cutting line to ensure a level, even cut. A thin metal-cutting blade will cut the fi berglass easily, Gillan says. Since the fenders come with a smooth gel-coat fi nish, Gillan says a light sanding job is required to rough up the gel-coat and make the paint stick. Gillan hits the fenders with 80-grit, then moves to a fi ner grit, such as 180- to 220-grit. After the sanding work, Gobel says to check one more time that the fender's bolt holes are properly lined with their counterparts on the truck. "After that, pull them off and get them painted," Gobel says. "Then use grade-A bolts to fasten them."
