Air and Electric

Heres what I am trying to figure out. What happens when you are turned 90° or tighter? Wouldnt the lines get caught on the rear drive tires and get ripped off? I almost have to go to the rear hookups because of the enclosed headache rack I have to store all my crap. It will be nice to be able to throw the tarps and stuff on the deck without all the lines in the way.

 

I had shutoffs on the trailer. That way when I got in someplace tight I could unhook the lines and the trailer would stay aired up so I could move it around. If you get up around a 90 degree angle they will get hooked on your flaps. Just don't straighten all the way out without checking.

 

I think having full rear fenders would eliminate getting them caught in tire lugs and mudflap hangers.

 

Im not pavement only, I cant run full fenders.

 

Sure you can-it's just one hell of a pain in the ### when you fill them full of mud and/or can't tell if you hooked that big #### pokey looking thing into your tire that was sticking out of the mud half way back down the hill

 

I got full fenders on my trk.. Been mudding lots of time.
Like Ruthless stated, they do kinda get packed with mud at times..But better than slinging mud all over the back of my trk. and headache rack

 

Speaking of fenders, does anyone have difficulty using a sliding winch directly over a fender?

 

I don't have any problems. Here is what we run for fenders. They are strong enough to walk on. I don't have an issue with mud on the cab and our trucks are off road nearly every day. Heck even our trailer yard is a mud pit when it rains...LOL

 

Those are not full fenders. The last part would be the part that gets ripped off. I dont want to chain up with triples with full fenders on my drives.

 

Chaining up I can understand. I saw a YouTube video of an old timer came up with some hidden hinges that he can flip the fenders over forward (they wouldn't work hooked to a trailer) and another that the half fenders (might could make something similar with a lock on the rear mount that would work with full, video showed halfs) that folded on the mounting stud and swung around to the front (that you could do hooked to a trailer).

Every now and again I see some stretched out largecar with no fenders atall, just flaps out back. I don't think that kind of setup of equipment would be practical for me-does look kinda cool to me tho.
