hey that looks good

ahead and get started on this video all right guys if you guys remember last episode seven
we did the radio support we did the uh change out the old 2007 raider support to the 2020 or 2014
to 2020 raider support we also lined up that hood make sure everything lines up properly
which it does now we're going to go ahead on this episode we're going to go ahead and line up
the baja fenders the headlights the uh a little surprise right there for you at the grill area
and then make sure everything fits correctly and then we're gonna go ahead and prep the parts
this is our episode okay all right so before we can actually line up the fenders remember
this little bracket right here that we couldn't figure out last episode but i figured it out i
went to a dealership and they told me that's going to be part of the radiator support
so they call it the uh driver side raider support bracket i'll give you guys a link
to that one but same thing like that we did on the radar support we uh have to drill out the uh weld
the spot welds basically or you can grind it out and then spot weld it but for me
a lot easier for me to just go ahead and uh drill it out and also uh top foil it in
actually not tap water in i'm ribbing it
in
so on this one you're gonna have four spot welds
all right so here's a bracket that we need right here
so we're gonna go ahead and line this up it should line up looks like a hole right here
let's see if it lines up line up with this thing
first there's like this hole right here if you guys can see right here
just match it up to that hole right
there
we're gonna line up the fender and make sure like it lines up properly
the next day all right guys we're gonna go ahead and uh test fit this fiberglass bender right here
on the driver's side see if everything lines up before we start welding this piece right here
so with fiberglass you always got to do a little bit modification here and there's
never perfect i'm just gonna see where it is
so right off the bat right here i can already tell like the gap is going to be good because the line
is good i'm not going to mess around too much over here i'm just going to smooth it
out make it look perfect over here i'm pretty much gonna shave off like a little bit like
almost like half an inch maybe on the top part and then let's see what it looks like over here
all right see right here guys if you look right here the actual hinges is also different
i believe it's different so i can show you guys why i think it's different well i kind of cheated
a little bit off camera because i already tried to test this already a few days ago but i ordered a
now i'm going to take this out before it falls off it's kind of windy today so i ordered the
original fender and i noticed everything lines up perfectly fine the gap is great the line is good
we have the core support lined up correctly so this headlights right here is perfect
the balls line up right there but if you guys look over there same exact issue right there
the uh 2007-2013 uh toyota tundra
uh the hinges are lower versus the new ones let me show you guys that one
let's see if i get the right one first
you guys can see on this hinge right here see where the top part is or the top part of this
this thing's underneath more and this part right here is up more so that's where we're having that
difficulty actually putting on the fender so right off the bat if you guys gonna try and convert
you gotta get the new hinges all right guys i just couldn't replace i just gotta see what the trd pro
uh grill looks like on this new uh bomb with it so let's see where
let's see what we gotta do to mock this up
all right guys so let me show you a little trick that i just figured out instead of be cutting my
trd pro grille i just figured out this bracket actually comes off so there's like these two
screws right here or bolts that goes on each oil to see if this is uh i think it went this way no
something along that line but basically there's bolts right here and you just take those bolts
off right here and you don't have to cut your trd pro grille off so take that off that's the side
i'm just gonna zip tie it right now so i can just see what it looks like
you guys remember in the other video i showed you guys how to take this off so go ahead
put a link up here so you guys can see how we took off the trd pro grille on that 2018 i believe um
hey that looks good looking good so look everything fits perfectly so yeah he's going to
go ahead and take off the hood get the hinges on and then we're gonna go ahead and put this back on
just to mark off where we need to shape it off and then prep all the parts get it ready to paint
all right guys if you guys want to see how we took off the hood
go ahead and look at our previous video i think it's the last video before and
also we have a link up here so you guys can see how we took that off so i'm not going to
bore you this time with me taking it off it's going to go ahead and take it off right now
all right so we're going to ahead and take out this old hinges right here be a 12.
that's pretty easy so pretty much there's already a marking right here just follow that marking
right there just line it up it's pretty much all the same the only difference is this thing
all right so i'm gonna go ahead and mock up that fender
i'm gonna take off this grill right here
because there's a little prong that needs to be uh adjusted on that
let me go check the other fender let me go and change the bracket on that one
put on the regular fender and see that that's still causing some problems
so
so what i've noticed is
the fender the original center multiplied up so my conclusion is that fiberglass one
too short it looks like it's too short it's not gonna go all the way through so
i may have to disregard bolting up on here and just bolt it up on these two right here
that's what i'm thinking
everything else lines up perfectly fine
all right guys so right here i can already see my bolts are fine
everything else lines up so all i'm gonna do i can see right here the gaps are a little bit off so i
just marked i'm gonna shave it off i'm just gonna shave up a little bit it's not that much more
so then everything else should line up see where the line is right here
it looks good to me so it's just a little bit right here that needs to be taken off
so i'm going to go ahead and continue on the other side uh mock it up
and get you guys back on here and show you guys how i set this down to get it
all right so the next thing we're going to tackle is going to be this fender right here
as you can see right here i'm going to line it up with the uh
the headlight and see if it fits but for the most part what i'm noticing on this fender
right here is so thin look at that right there it's very thin right there so i know for sure
i'm gonna have a fitment issue but let's go ahead and try out the headline see if it is true
so yeah even as much as i force it in it's not going in
just because this thing is too thick i gotta cut that down
so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go ahead and uh use a sharpie and i know it's kind of
like uh it's not that much so it's going to be i would say cut off an inch just gonna mark a line
so the line doesn't have to be perfect because you guys will sand it down anyways
so if you guys are wondering why uh custom
custom fabricators cost so much because so much work to make sure everything lines up perfectly
all right guys so we're going to start cutting around this fender right here or the headlight
area but we're going to use a dremel if you guys don't have a dremel i highly recommend you guys
buy one of these things it's like the best thing that's ever been invented all right these little
areas right here that's very hard to get into this dremel this is so small that it gets into those
little crevices i highly recommend getting one of these things i'm not sponsored by dremel but hey
sponsor me bill started hey reach out to me i want to get some of this uh parts paid off
um you guys remember wear safety glasses all right so low speed let's get this started
so quiet too
so
i'm gonna set it down with uh
it's like 180 yeah 180 you're gonna set it down
around this area's right here get one of these circle blocks i think a door block set it down
and get around those edges a lot more like those areas that's like more circular
use one of these circular sanding blocks
so go ahead and test i'm gonna go ahead and try to test with this make sure
you finally stand down more
take your time i like to take my time standing because i don't want to send
too much and then you know cause more of a problem for myself or headache
so yeah this one's still not fitting correctly i still need to stand down some more
i'm going to continue doing that but let me show you guys what i did on the other side
all right guys so this is the end result right here the headlights should fit perfectly fine
now a little bit of a gap but for most part it should be flush i don't want to sand down
too much so i think that's the best way that uh that's the best uh result that i can get with
this fiberglass that's why fiberglass work is so hard to do is because it doesn't fit perfectly
it's never like precise that's why you got to do a lot of modification to it but check that
out we're almost halfway there i'm going gonna go ahead and uh sand this whole part down with 180
get it ready for paint and then hopefully the next video we're gonna go ahead and have
at least the front end painted and then i didn't forget about the tailgate or yeah the
bedside i'm still gonna do that on uh next video because that's gonna be another video because
it's not gonna fit in my paint booth all right guys so recap on this video we figured out how
to modify the fiberglass baja style fender so it's also my first time to make so make sure
you learn from my mistakes and also remember the trd pro grille i'm going to put that on and then
put the hit the hood hinges back back onto the old one and then put the whole front end back
together and um remember we also prepped this uh we prepped all the parts ready for paint
so hopefully on the next video we can have at least the front end and also the uh the doors
off in it so again uh if you guys subscribe to this channel and also comment down below don't
