    Ok i found some 4x4 fenders on craigslist for free the other day, i picked them up and put them on my truck, they bolted up fine, but there is gaps in between the hood and the fender, the fender sticks out a little further than the door, and the top part by the windshield has a slight gap as well, is this normal, or is it because i didnt line it up or whatever before i bolted it up?

    you need to loosen all the bolts, figure out if you need shims or if you can just move it around.. mine are aftermarket and they fit fine ! they just dent super easy !

    yea when i got them the bolt hole that goes on the inside of the door was bent on the passenger fender, so i pulled it out, maybe i should recheck it to see if i pulled it out all the way, i dunno, gonna unbolt it tomorow if the wife dont have the baby, and see if i cant maneuver it around or if i have to shim it. hope it just needs to be moved around a bit

    yea i believe its a 1/4 inch or so, real small but i notice it so it kinda ticks me off, and the only other bad part is im gonna have to run without corner lights, but i plan on shaving those as soon as i get a phantom grille
