Final touches to make the Custom Sport Trac ready for the streets...
...made out of fiber glass fender flares for a Nissan Pickup.
Since there is nobody making fender flares that will fit the Sport Trac on 38 inch tires we had been searching for something made for a similar truck. We found some 356 inch flares for Nissan Pickup that looked promising and they where our final choice.
Kjartan did some needed cutting and rebuilding to make it fit. Like on the rear side of the front where it had to be taken apart.
Sanding down the newly built section to prepare the surface for painting.
Front view shows how the new fender flares extend and enhance the look of the original unmodified Sport Trac.
Rear flares needed similar adjustments - making them longer and a bit more open - to handle the 38 inch tires.
After Kjartan did his magic by spray painting them with the same original color - Ford Island Blue - the final look is beginning to show.
Covers the front wheels well and looks good.
Nice!

Of course we had to take it out for some more testing...
...see how it handles the suspension travel with the new fender flares.
Not bad!
Fiber glass can also be used to make other parts as needed. Oli made this lid to fit the pressure meters and control buttons for the air-bags and ARB air lockers.
