Re: Rear fender brace

I have the assembly manual but the pic is very vague hoping someone can maybe snap a shot, the other three brace location where easy to locate just the last one at rear is giving me trouble.

Re: Rear fender brace

Does anyone know if there is one of those braces for the AD trucks?

Re: Rear fender brace

Re: Rear fender brace

and the fenders tend to vibrate just enough to crack if you don't have them. No need to ask why I know that but I can show you a photo of the fender.

Re: Rear fender brace

i didn't put any back on truk, probably should, but 25,000 miles and no cracks
plus most of them won't fit on a lowered truck, the only one that would work is the one rude dude posted
