Fender Roller tool

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knew where I could rent a fender roller tool locally or if anyone had one I could borrow over this weekend. I could pay you in beer/money/Redline...

Thanks,

Daniel

heat it with heat gun then roll the lip with a baseball bat or pipe (size depends on how low your car is).

I'm up in NorCal and was hoping to do it this weekend. If I don't have any luck locating one locally, I'll probably be contacting you next week.

If memory serves me, there was a time when you could borrow this from the rack if you bought a set of tires. Of course, I have little doubt that some jackass has ruined that policy.

Other than that, beg, borrow, or bring cash

Good luck! When I purchased mine, there was an 8 month waiting list to use one from the Tire Rack.

Lifetime usage warranties are only for Rotary powered vehicles. All others will be charged a nomial fee + a piston surcharge tax.

But seriously, if you come sign off on a out of state vin check for my recently acquired duece. I will let you use it for free.

Bee-

Clean out your PMs, IM me, or call me, I need that tool ASAP

Moto- The tool curves the inner fender lip upward, rounding it out and making so that tires dont get cut on the fender lip when you are running wide tires. Im running 285s on all 4 corners, so the clearance is pretty tight.

I need my fenders rolled too. I'm from Sunnyvale so if somebody locally wants to split the cost to rent the roller let me know.
