Inner Fenders Yes or No
So I just put on the outer fenders, Hood and cowl. I like the look of no inners however some say I will regret it once on the road. The truck will be a Sunday Sunny driver when finished so the water will not be a problem until I get stuck to far away from home. So what have others done? Inners in or out?

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
No inner fenders equals hood damage from little rocks getting thrown up by the tires. You'll be sorry.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
Clean up your inners and paint the tops of em body color, it looks slick, and it will save your hood.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
Well, I guess I will go against the grain here. My truck was my daily driver for about 2 years and I ran without inner fenderwells. I was lucky enough to not get dents in my hood but I did hear quite a few rocks bounce off my hood.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
One good puddle and a shorted out ignition system, stalled truck - you'll change your mind and put them in......

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
I pondered over this same thing for a long time. I drove my truck without them in for 2 years, without issue. However I ultimately decided to put them in just to help keep the engine compartment nice and clean.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
although i ran this summer w/o inners, i can't wait to get them back in. not too worried about rocks, but i hate opening the hood to see all that dirt that i'll have to clean before the next get together.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
On my 81 C-10 I had 295/50-15's and no inner fenders. Drove it everyday in the Seattle area for 2 years without incident until somebody decided he wanted it more than me.

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
I don't even have the inners for mine. Drove it to Phoenix and back, and to SAn Fran and back 3 times in 6 years and no major problems. I'd put them in if I had them, my both my headlight wiring harness, and positive battery have come loose and rubbed my front tires at different times..

Re: Inner Fenders Yes or No
Paint them up nice so they look good and install them. I think you'll be happier in the long run with them.
IMO I think inner fenders help make the engine compartment look finished.
