Also what about like an old hot rod hood hinge. Mount the flat part of the hinge to the fender and mount the smaller side to the storage box or inside the storage box and the hinge retract inside the box a little. I wish I could show you what I’m thinking rather than text lol. Love the idea and I think it’s still something doable

What about a plastic stabilizing strut on both ends that collapsed when closing and retract open when your using the storage side. I’m thinking along the lines of those police break sticks they carry just with a little less force to break them out. This should help firm things up and be cheap to add to the product

Another thing, in a world being taken over by 3d printing, I can’t help but think maybe a 3d printer would make this cheaper in the long run, you can print in carbon fiber, you can even print in metal of sorts, there’s alot of ways to make this more cost effective.

It's a brilliant concept and some of our best lessons learned are the ones born from our failures. I wouldn't classify this as a _failure,_ per se, but a sharp concept that can possibly be applied in another scenario. Ford making plastic fenders on a 450? Ugh. Make a grown man cry. Gents, awesome work and video.

I think the dually fenders are molded into the bed sides on newer Chevy's, GMC's and maybe even Dodges so it might have been a pretty limited market anyway. Every successful invention was most likely preceded by multiple failures. That bumper storage might be the better one to work on for you.

I’m not good at this kind of stuff, and even though you have it torn apart, the mechanical/working part just eludes me. However, listening to the issue with the fender, would little gas struts (rv bed type stuff) help? Could possibly help it lean out more and make the opening a little more accessible, plus maybe keep the fender from being so flimsy. That’s just where my brain went when I saw the issue. Hope y’all figure it out, it’s a great idea. I still want a transformer truck, lol.

You could make a rib to enforce the fender. Make a slide track for the lid and make the lid attached to the fender. So when you pull the fender away from the truck it slides the lid off and the lid acts as the rib for the fender. Then the lid would be pulled away from the tool box so you could access the tool box? If this works all I want is a free set for my truck :)😊

Spent 2 years building the ultimate shaker kit for the late model Mustangs and they were the only one of their kind. Problem was, Time to make, Time to package, Time to to deal with idiots that just wanted to crap on what you built and it killed me. Cost over $180k and then got rid of the moulds for scrap price. So, keep you design and keep with it, dont loose hope. Find suppliers that can help with the issues, the issues i see that have a remedy, look to ABS plastic vacuum moulding. Sometimes the market isn't ready, as you are too far ahead of the game.

I just want to make A little point here, people in the car/truck community spend THOUSANDS for things that are strictly aesthetic, yes it would be nice spending hundreds for it but in reality that’s cheap cheap.. I seriously think a working man with a work truck would easily spend upwards of 2k for a bumper.. they would spend upwards of 2k for the fender that is actually usable. I think you guys are looking at this from the wrong side, or dare I say the wrong time. Maybe 10-15 years ago 2k would be a lot for that, but if this was a factory option today, it would like 5-7k .
