    Absolutely, it rooster tails pretty bad in the rain. The really thin tin can fenders cost around $150-$200 a piece, so going to get them custom fabbed with thin diamond plate and angle iron, I figure that option will be a lot more durable. I'm planning on welding on 2x4 stake holes so I can easily make it a flat bed if I need to. Also going to weld on a 4"x4" square tube on the rear end to make a makeshift bumper. I'm trying to make this thing as universal and durable as possible, I'm planning on keeping this thing for a long time. Only problem is its only 5.5' wide so its not wide enough to haul cars.
