Ok

I have found a donor for the front end of my Sierra ute .. will do a front end clip from pitcuerd donor


And it will look good at the front .. but what do I do with the back (will go for wider tyres)


Any one have ideas .. pics of good looking solutions

Replicate the current metal arches but make them wider? Not sure how you clearance it so the side still drops down though.

... Something I'm grappling with is should I keep it "looking" original or just do what I want to do to it

Original with mild mods

But it's not my truck

There's sort of only 2ways of cover tyres covered on a tray back
A) make the tray super wide to cover them and turn the tray into a anchor point
B) keep the tray the same width as the body and run the guards out. It's no ideal if you have tray sides if you need to fold them all the way down, but still bets getting hung up on the tray

This is how I did mine




Notched out the sides to keep the tray low as practical


(Not the best pics showing how there done) but there's 7 bolts holding each guard on for a quick unbolt option on harder trips in tight tracks
