Hey Wayne! Yes, you can drill the lip on the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender # HP99VR and bolt it on for installation. However, I wouldn't plan on using it as a step or anything like that if you install it this way. There isn't a lot of material there so it won't hold up to any real weight.

I agree with the response provided. I had to drill 2 extra holes to make it fit my trailer better. The metal is holding well at the drill holes with no sign of cracking. Definitely do not use the fender as a step up.
