Anyone else had issues with the front fenders bowing out after wheeling it with 0 offset wheels?
I’m fairly positive I just need to loosen them and adjust them. Anyone else have an opinion?

As in, there's a gap between the fender and door that shouldn't be there?

If so, yeah, excessively hard impacts will do that even with stock offset - 0 offset is just asking for trouble in that regard. There's a few screws behind the door and under the hood that should correct that.

Someone posted a video on Facebook where you can clearly see it happening in real time. FB isn't loading anything at the moment, but once I find it I'll make a youtube video out of it and post it here.

But yeah, that's absolutely what it is. My coworker did it to his truck on our last run. Not sure which screws need adjusting, and I suspect there is one down low, but there's three under the hood and at least two behind door. The top one behind my passenger side door had pretty much completely backed out, so my fender was lose at the top.

Anyone know if this can be readjusted. My driver side fender is out of alignment after some wheeling last week.

It can't be that difficult to adjust the bolts or even add a washer to stretch the fender if needed. If that doesn't work, then the glue might of become unstuck on the fender there, by the door edge, you might have to remove the fender and add new glue to keep it in place. I know on the gen 1's it's foamed in place there.
