They are the exact same fenders. Will have to measure them and see exactly what size they are.

Becky,
If Melven elects not to avail himself of those fenders of yours, I'd be interested. I'm working on a HF build up myself and eventually want to replace the stock ones with round ones...

I just pulled out the order form. They are 32", and I believe 9" wide. (The reason I say "I believe 9" wide" is because they sent me the wrong size. I had ordered 11" wide and these were too narrow and didn't cover my tire. The site only lists them in 9" and 11".) They are for 14-15" tires. But I am not sure what to do about a box to ship them in. I was hoping you were close by. The box they came in got pretty banged up in shipment (fenders are fine though) and I'm not sure it would afford much protection for a trip across country. I'll look around work today and see if we have any boxes that might work.

I am ok if you sell them to mark. They sound like the same size I bought already.

Huh. That sounds a little big for the little HF wheels. I think they only measure 22" in diameter. Have you put yours on the trailer to eyeball the fit?

Yeah I just looked and they are 9 by 32 the same size becky has. Keep in mind that 9 inches will fit the harbor freight trailer well. We will see what the 32 looks like when I get mine. I can Email you some pics or what not before I start cutting on mine.

I trimmed the inside of the pinto windows today. Added some more mason jars for storage. (FISHING GEAR) and started to paint that ugly white window frame on the inside.

This is coming along real well. Should be complete by next weekend :thumbsup:
