Peesalot POR Group buy on MT Fender Kits

Derivative from this thread: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=476229&page=3

I just did not want to hi-jack swilson’s thread anymore that is has been!

I got a call from Peesalot asking about a group buy on Fender kits. No problem we can set you up and yes do a POR deal. Now there is a major technical difference in fender kits from what is listed in the thread above! The kit used in the thread above is one of the old school OEM replacement fender kits I discontinued offering over a year ago. The difference is the height of the fender.

The one in the thread is in the stock location using an un-cut side apron.
The kits offered now are 2.5” higher in the center and 3” higher off the front lip over stock.

I do make the OEM replacement ones on special request. I discontinued making them originally since the radius of the bends never were dead nuts on with the metric radius of the side apron. This always bugged me, never had any complaints, but it bugged me. With that said I can make them still just be aware there is a slight gap between the skin and the side apron coming off the two bends below the side apron. (small but they are there.)

I have a new inner design on deck for the fenders, that changed the inner main support. This is to make it easier to use the fender kits with a stock 6 with the battery tray in place. As the kits are now the stock battery mount will hit the main support on the right side. Non issue for the V8’ed trucks. This new inner design may also help with incorporating inner fender skirts if you want them. (I never ran them, massive cooling w/o them)

Mark- what's the group-buy price? I've been meaning to get a set- but if I can get them at a better price, why not? Thanks, Luke

The order will go in tommorow. Right now we have six sets we will order. 4 OEM & 2 raised . I have Campy on the fence and 1 set still not spoken for 100%. So , we will order all six maybe more. They are intended to ship to Forestville Ca and we could arrange individual shipping if needed from there.
The price is great IIRC it will be 156 + tax and ship. I may cover the shipping to make things simple. Jump in people. Mark is a stand up guy and has contributed in a great way to a special cause for me. Thank you from our hearts Mark.....

Count me in for one raised set. I'll PM you with specifics. Thanks, Luke

I wish this wouldn't have comeup so soon, I could really go for a set. My fenders have seen better days :D
Mark, I'm still waiting on the set you said you would ship me for testing purposes :flipoff2:

figgured as soon as i got them, this would happen :flipoff2:

pm if you in. I need 1 more to go 8 .

What about the sheet metal finising kits? Are you ordering these as well?Pee's, I'll PM you later this evening!

yup . final count will be done sometime tommorrow morning while I am ordering with Mark. The skin/mount tab kits are an extra 70 ish bucks. I know not everyone wants one so just let me know if you are in and what style you want.

Man, you guys are going to actually make me work? :flipoff2:

word. hook us up.

Man, you guys are going to actually make me work? :flipoff2:

I don't know. From the way Mark makes it sound, work might not be the word :flipoff2:

'Tis okay, I can bust out 6 fender kits fast enough. The used to be a real pain in the ass before we started boxing them.

pm if you in. I need 1 more to go 8 .

Just in case you didnt get my PM, count me in for the OEM style
with the sheet metal finishing kit! Thanks!

I did not previously know this! I am VERY GLAD you are incorporating these changes.:bounce2:

Very nice kits if you ask me. I wish I would have made this mod sooner.

I did not previously know this! I am VERY GLAD you are incorporating these changes.:bounce2:

Shoot Mark this mod was inspired by your interest in a set! Ok well I have also been working on it for a while, more and more guys running the stock ticker on the trails these days. i.e. Treeroot! Mike was the main inspiration since this was an issue on his build. The new inner support and mounting system increases the parts count by two, but will make the build faster in the long run.

Greenweenie = AKA LT! Dude welcome back from Europe. Get ready to get re acquainted with the bender fast! Group orders are not individually packed, so no boxes. They will be bulk packed most likely into a pallet box. I know there are a few getting shipped from CA so we will pack a few empty boxes for those sets. Ugg, back at it must ship a few orders in the AM so late one tonight. I will talk with you in the AM, freash load of DOM-SRA in as of Friday.... got a list to bend!

Mark

Cool I slipped in on this deal. Now I gotta figure out how to get them to the east coast. Thanks for the work on setting the group buy up peesalot, and thanks Mark as well for your work for us cruiserheads! Now for the anticipation......

I am in on this too... I can't wait, and I can't believe my wofe let me get a set!!! Now it is time to finsh the cruiser anbd BEAT on these.

Dima


Great,I'll pick you up and we can drive up to Forestville together to pick them up!
Ken

Ken & Dima , we can meet you half way or just pm me and we can decide on a plan to get them to you. Bring the vodka if it is ready.

Green , I will cover you on the east coast thing. If you get a big box marked chicken deluent it would be your fenders. The shippers tend to handle packages marked as such a little more carefully.

Last call for orders. Looks like we are at 12 even.

Mark and John...

room for one more Normal set... or too late.

I want a set for my FJ45 project, not raised I believe but will read this again to confirm.

thanks!

Pees and Mark, any chance you can add one more set? Ideally I want a set that is raised, but still would let me put the LC emblem and light on the aprons still. Have you bent any up that meet someplace in the middle from stock height and raised? If not I could take a set of stock height ones and mod them.

thanks!
Dustin

Tony , ok , OEM it is and I assume you want skin/tab kit ? 156 for fenders , 71 for tab/skin kit . Prices are going up due to steel costs so this price is unobtanium after this.

Dustin , same ? do you want skin kit ? I agree , start with OEM style and do what you need. You are on the list.

yes, please also sign me up for the skins. I'll take a pair of the stock replacement fenders, please. John, when do you need the fundage?

thanks!
Dustin

Fundage will be dealt with as you pick up or we send off your fenders. No money till you see the goods. I got it covered and will work out with ya however to collect , paypal , cc , check , cash , trade( as in you got some shocks ) barder , swap , whatever.

are there photos on Mark's site?? Just want to confirm what you are telling me I need. :)

but ya...

Yes- there are pictures....

Can you still squeeze in a set of OEM W/O skins??

Dustin

That is what I am wanting to do so I can still run the side emblem. I figured I would get the stock height tube fenders and just move them up a tad...I think there is like just a little over an inch.

O.K. , Scott you are in for 1 set OEM no trim kit.
TxCrzr , there will be 1 set oem extra ordered for just in case so I will plan on that going your way unless you pm me a confirmation then I will bump the whole count up.

Tony , the trim kit is , a skin , a frame plate for mounting the support tube , and 3 tabs designed to use stock tub and bib holes to secure the fenders.

There is no inner fender provisions although we will be trying to incorporate the original inner fenders if possible . I am not sure it will work but seems like they will blend nicely with some careful planning.

Running w/o inner fender skirts helps a ton with cooling. Mark ran his tube fenders w/o fender skirts with his v8 and it ran really cool. On my propane powered 2f my temperature gauge won't even read halfway up the first tick on the trail. Plus here in Oregon we have a ton of mud, it doesn't affect the wiring as long as it is covered up well with tape or convuluted tubing.

not sure which thread is more appropriate to ask, but.. Has anyone mounted tabs to the tubing for shock mounts? It seems like it might be a good way to go instead of Ford towers... which I still need to install.

cheers!
Dustin

I think fender hooops would be a bit BIG :shaking:

Don't forget to trim those Ftowers :D

I wouldn't use the tube fenders as shock mounts. The tube fenders are sturdy but they aren't unbreakable. I can talk to Mark and maybe we can work something out for you ;)

I have used expanded metal for the rear half of my inner fender well for years, works great for air flow and still some protection from rocks and branches for your motor. The stuff I use is stainless so it won't even rust!!

-Scott

Pees, I don't think I'll be in this round. I just picked up a tranny to add to my pile of parts, I think I'm going to be broke for a few months :(

John and Mark...

Upon further research, I am also going to pass. While I want the tube support on the outer fender lip, I don't want to cut the skirts or lose the inner lining.

I think I'd be better off taking my current set to Luke at the Lab and having him simply custom fit the tube support along the edge.

Ya, I'm a goober... but thanks!

John and Mark...

Upon further research, I am also going to pass......

Let me know if this leaves an extra set cause I am interested :)

Hey, I am in for an OEM set along with the finishing kit! Let me know if I made the cut!! Sent you a pm peesalot.......

Noah

PayPal sent. Will forward shipping cost once that is known. Thanks, Luke

PM sent

I'd like a raised set with skins and mounting hardware sent to 99654. Can you PM me the total cost with a paypal address? . Whats the lead time on these?

ERik

Correct me if I'm wrong, but It looks like this group-buy happened beginning of month :rolleyes:

order was placed , Mark needed to move shop. I believe he is waiting on final payment to send the whole pallet. It ended at 16 sets with 12 finishing kits IIRC. So it is done I think. I have the invoice and have recieved payment from 2 people . I will be paying the balance and then collecting and shipping when we get pallet.

Ttt

If you need my payment as help let me know. I'll just have to wait on shipping until I get my own living situation/ address finalized. YUP moving SUX!!!

I finished bending everything up, just needs to be put in pallets now. Man that was a lot of bending, I thought I was going to have nightmares about bending tube fenders.

I am happy to have been involved in furthering your "nightmare" :flipoff2:

For those who wish to send money , please refer to post #45.
PM me your address for shipping and/or to request info. for sending checks.
Thank you LUKEZERO.

I am happy to have been involved in furthering your "nightmare" :flipoff2:

Pssh it got even worse. We had six additional fender orders ontop of the group buy, plus 5 cage kits, and 2 nose guard/stinger orders. And I had to bend up the rub rails for the beta 80 series sliders.

Pees, do you think they will be available in time for pick up at the 45 run?

Nope. Mark says pallet went this morning for real. Soon .

Would you guys like a picture of me loading it up in the truck tomorrow afternoon? :flipoff2:

Yes please . I know you said you work out but do you think you can lift it all by yourself ?

pfft its all about the fork lift. Quite possibly the best piece of equipment we have at the shop.

Bon Voyage :flipoff2:
