So, being the genius that I am, I had an idea today when I was in True Value... and I decided to spend the $10 on hardware.
I purchased 2 bolts, 2 large washers, a flat-backed nut, small chain (1' is more than enough) and 2 eye/hook turnbuckles.
Entire "mod" took 10 minutes.
Basically, put the bolt through the washer, then through the existing hole in the plastic inner fender, right in the bottom-rear middle.
Widen the end of the chain just enough to slip the bolt through, then put on the flat-nut.
Cut the chain as short as you can while still able to hook to the turnbuckle.
I used the open end of the turnbuckle to an existing hole under the truck (see pics) opened the other end of the chain and attacked it to the eye-side of the turnbuckle.
Tighten, pulling back the fender. Easy as that.
I went off-roading in my fields being sure to hit the bumps at full-turns, not even a slight rub. I just wish I thought of this months ago BEFORE my fenders started rubbing through.
Anyway, no more concerned looks when turning in parking lots! LOL
