I was thinking to use 8" or 10" C-Channel make a couple notches heat and bend and poof drive over fenders it would also allow you to run them a lot closer to the tires reducing overall height.
Can you get away without making it 10 inches high? Like 5 inches would be perfect if you could get away with it. Very nice work you did. I have the same project I'm gonna be starting without all the nice steel cutters. Lol
What you can do to figure out how high you need to be is measure the distance between the axle and the frame of the trailer so if you would completely compress your springs you have accounted for max droop and add that above your tire plus maybe ½" for alittle extra clearance at full squish so say you have 3" clearance between your axle and trailer frame go 3.5" above your tire for the bottom of your new fender material and you probably would never load your trailer that heavy but entering a drive way or something uneven like a curb or something may fully compress the one axle while dropping the other down I'm going to be building drive over fenders for my trailer soon and this is the way that I'm going to use to set mine up from what I can remember when I was looking at mine I will be able to lower my fenders 3" from the stock height
Nice fabrication video. I noticed that the stock fenders were 8 3/4" high, which you called 9", but then somehow they became 10" high. Maybe due to the square tubing taking up some fender space. If the fender frame were angle instead of square tubing, the fenders could have remained at 9", be less expensive, and still be able to hold up a vehicle. Just a thought.
Definitely like the build! Doing research for new fenders for my crawler hauler. Slightly different design im going to need to use as mine backs up against the sleeping compartment.
Everything about this video is awesome except for that ridiculous caterwauling in the background (7:20 - 7:40, 9:00 - 10:25, 11:00 - 14:35, 25:43 - 26:50, 27:02 - 29:12, 29:43 - 31:18, 34:10 - 34:25) which made it almost unwatchable. I don’t want to just turn down the volume because I wanted to hear what you had to say, so I was forced to listen to that irritating noise too. Other than that, great video.
As a car and truck collector with about 17 vehicles all i could think about was Noooo don't weld them on. You will never get a car door to open making the trailer almost useless for cars. Now i hate to be one of them keyboard remodelers but you could have made the drives side removable by simply welding on a 2x2 square channel or round pipe to the trailer and then the fender had one size up tubing to slip over it and a wing nut or pin thingy. Welding the side skirts isn't necessary but does make it stronger so having an unwelded side skirt on the drivers side is no big deal. But anyways you did a great job.
The music on this video is very annoying!!!!
Go to another channel, or turn the volume down. I think the music suits the video
Agreed, music is annoying.
Do you have a list of materials for this?
Tubing size, diamond plate size etc.
I like the video until I saw Pelosi’s face
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you know it's making fun of her right?
Music definitely not necessary
Hey guys, mine is 10 3\4 high and 27" down each side@ 27.5 degrees. Thanks for watching
Could have saved yourself 5 days and hundreds of dollars by just making the stock fenders tilt out and drive your blazer over the tires....
Do you remember roughly the dimensions/angles for the fenders? Got a project like this I'm working on
excellent welding.
Awful music ....
Ha ha seems to be the theme. first video lessons. Probably not using music anymore unless you guys have some good suggestions.

Fill the openings on all your square tube with something, or you may end up with rolling wasp condominiums.

Hello sir, I must say I am enjoying your trailer project. However, the music you are playing is horrible.
Alright thanks. Finding royalty free music isn't easy lol. I'll try to fix that next time.
Bro do a video of your whole shop. Glad to hear your still going to church. Hallelujah
Will do, the shop is totally rearranged from when I did this video. I have haas vf1 in there now!!👍👊
Seems like there’s no support
Super strong, only needs to support the front wheels rolling over it. Plus the tube is 3/16.
Hell ya looks good dude, I’m about to do the same.
Awsome man, all the best on your project.
Can I have the measurements for the roll over fenders
Definitely like the build! Doing research for new fenders for my crawler hauler. Slightly different design im going to need to use as mine backs up against the sleeping compartment.

Agreed.
This is how you build a fender?

This is for my k5 blazer rock krawler on 40 inch tires. I don't own a car. Thanks
Great video
This ain't exactly DIY, but great job.
Depend on what equipment and skills you have.
I could Just come to his channel to just listen to the music
U could have lowered them 2-3”
