I looked in the archives and did not find what I was after so I figured I would ask here. I've got a Big Tex 70DM and I like the trailer but the fenders are cheap flimsy sheetmetal. You cannot stand on them, much less drive over them.

I know that a lot of guys have built fenders, but I don't have the time or inclination right now and I was wondering if any of you know where I can find some diamond plate or heavy steel fenders (for dual wheels) online or in the Bay Area. Thanks in advance for the help!

I thought that you were messing with me at first, but click on the link and sure enough, there are the fenders. Thanks!

they still don't look heavy enough to drive across

Sorry I missed that part. No, you can't drive on them. Instead of cutting the fenders and welding on new, just get some 2" square tube and weld that in over the top of the fenders. Lay down expanded steel for traction.

Or make them removeable like Featherlite's.

That's what I'm going to do. With 37/13x16 boggers on my K5 I'm at 84"s to the outside lugs on the front.

I have a big tex and I welded a plate under the bottom of the fender to a couple bars and on the top of the finder I had some dimond plate cut the same width as the fender and bolted it on. I drive over them all the time with no problems. Sorry I don't have any pics.

heres my trailer. We just had the fenders coverd with some 3/16" diamond plate. My chassis is 92" wide and I just drive over.

Nice Dan! I like the extra width. I may do that but I just hate putting all the extra weight on.
