I bought some inner fenders off eBay and they are super thin and cheesy and floppy. They're also super slick and I can't really coat them with sanding them and they're so thin, I would probably sand through them... does anyone know how stiff the factory ones are? I'm thinking maybe I should just go get some from the junkyard and paint them or raptor line them or something.

Front inner fenders? They're like 1/8 thick or better.

I'd get junkyard ones, but be prepared for rusty stripped/broken screws. Might be better off down your way where there's significantly less salt spray lol.

^^^^^this. Those mojos are thicc. I just pulled my passenger side one. Also, the Rusty screws is very accurate. I'd bring a cut off tool. My fronts were completely rusted to the core support, had to cut them off.

Hey partner. I realize everyone has a personal emergency (even I do sometimes) and others are busy so time will lapse for responses. I just now saw your post. My liners are rather thick.
Learned long ago factory anything is better than knockoffs. You will learn also.

I too would like to pick Oil members minds. I have to replace the right side (tire blowout) and have a gasser for parts. Are they the same compared to a IDI?

I was kidding on that post btw lol.

Yea man, I'm not sure on the gassers, I have a local diesel junkyard. He had 3 idi front caps laying there. the aftermarkets came rolled up in a ball in a small box. The factory ones I got barely flex, they're nice. I can go there and pull one for you but theyre large, I bet the shipping would be high

The ones on the 94 460 I just tore apart visually look similar to the ones on my bricknose IDI trucks. That said, I didn't really compare them close.

I can't see why they would be different within the same body style, honestly wouldn't be surprised if they interchange from 87-96 since the wheel wells are the same.

From what I could tell doing my swap a few years back they are the same gas/diesel but they do change generation wise. My 87 ones wouldn’t fit properly on the 95.
