i have a 774wd and was thinking it would be so cool and it sure would make things alot easier to work on if i could just flip up the whole front end fenders and all. also fiberglass would give me a chance to make my fenders fit my tires better :D

The only thing about fiberglass frontends, are that those made for drag racing might be too thin. I am fairly sure it could be braced up and fiberglass added where it is needed to make it strong enough for street use. 4x4 use, nothing might be strong enough :wink:

I found a website once that a guy ran a parts finder for rare finders and I called him and he hade someone that made fiberglass fenders, hoods, doors, and one piece frontends. I am wanting to say they were around $800 but I will try to find the website again and post it up.

I bought a 1 piece glass front end at a swap meet bought 2 years ago. The didnt even know what it was. Said it came out of his friends dads garage. It's great for racing ,but kinda thin for street or 4x4 use.
