Dick,
my dually and trailer have to sit at my parents house in the suburbs. Some
streets near my house are tough to fit the truck through let alone park it
safely. Those fenders are just too expensive !! hell somebody dragged my
volvo 245 out into traffic two weeks ago.--- By the way incredibly strong
car -- clipped the bumper cover back on ,snapped in the quarter trim again
and you can't even tell it was hit. Best 900 bucks I ever spent
George in a soon to be snowy DC
Note: I did spend about 5 grand extra on wheels, tires , lowered springs ,
shock , nitrous big valves, cam, etc. Blue book-- $700
It still makes sense to me .

George, out here in Texas, parallel parking slots
are 42 feet long to allow for extended cab four
door big dually diesel pickups.
True fact, when I got assigned to Washington, DC
in 1995 I had a Dodge 4X4 extended cab. The
first time I entered a covered parking garage
where the attendant assured me I would fit, they
had to get a construction crew out to extricate
my truck from the parking lot. Even the slots in
the lot of the apartment where I lived were too
small for the truck, the manager assigned a
"special" parking place for me. After about two
months, I gave up and traded the truck on a
teeny-weeny beltway bomber like everybody else
drove.
Uhhhh, out here in Texas, I got me another truck!
