Framed and skinned the fenders. Material is 16ga sheet and 1" x .063" tube. Not exactly "drive over", but they are plenty tough to stand and jump on when loading/unloading.
Also welded on some cheap stake pockets from eBay.

I dont know how I did anything without a plasma. 10/10 the best tool out there for cutting sheet, and I dont know how I lived without it.
