People need to learn more of this because our country isn't going to be able to afford these $100,000 truck's when our people are only making 50,000 a year
I went to trade in my 15 ram 1500 bighorn on a 22 classic warlock. It was listed at $48k. When I got to the dealer, they told me that the market adjusted price was $58k. They expected me to pay $824 per month on a lease. Btw for those who don’t know, a 2015 ram and a 22 ram classic are the same truck. Also, this warlock had no options at all aside from the off road package. It didn’t even have a hemi. At $58k I at least want a hemi. My bighorn doesn’t have one either, but only paid $22k back in 2019 w/ 50k miles. I have more interior options and an extended power train warranty until 100k miles . I’m at 78k. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that my rockers are starting to rust. I’m going to get them linexed. Sorry for ranting.
I bought a 04 chevy 2500hd single cab with 94500 on it, rockers and cab corners were just starting to show surface rust, this summer I tackled the driver side ( the worst side because the running board was cut off), using rust kutter, grinders and rust primer and undercoating. Not expecting it to last forever before I need to do something like this but at least bought myself a few more years.
No mention of the quick cover price. The set costs about $425. Also, you have to remove the door striker for the rear extended cab door. The quick cover has dimples showing you where to drill through for the bolt holes. I have the textured set, and I'm really happy with the result.
Just bought a Reg Cab 2014 Silverado/66,000 miles, think I got a decent deal HOWEVER, the rockers were intact paint bubbling not not falling off and showing the rust yet. Question is, should I grind and prime and paint on the rockers before I put the covers on? I feel pretty scared that I just threw $12,000 at a truck. The cost of having them cut out and replaced by a body shop is about $3500 per side. For $19,000 I could have bought a truck that was in much better shape. I really hope you respond.
Wow I wonder if MA does. Maybe you can attach some galvanized roof flashing on bottom to floor? This will hide missing Rocker & stabilize the rocker. That will likely pass
Yes, they are available here: oamusa.com/collections/1999-2006-silverado-sierra-extended-cab-4-door/products/1999-2006-silverado-sierra-extended-cab-cab-rocker-cover-kit-4-door
These have their applications. Doesn’t always make sense to spend $4000 for a proper weld in repair. These may accelerate rust by trapping moisture. However, if you already have severe rust the damage has already been done.

The illegal immigrants seem to be able to afford two per family, while I work my behind off to afford zero for mine.

Do they mention how long they are expected to last? I️ feel like the tape will fail after a winter
This is a great video. Thanks for reviewing multiple brands .
Great video! Answered ALL my questions. I was looking at all three of these and was confused as hell. This video helped me a ton. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
please make them for 1994 gmc truck I would buy them tomorrow. Good video
I'm in. I live in salt country. Rust preventative is part of the cost of being the Boss.

Why don't they make these for older trucks. I have a 98 and they start at 99.
In maine. The plastic rocker panel look good but won't pass inspection sticker
same here in Nova Scotia

@welcometoreality3450 or you could idk actually put rockers in it and fix it right.
11:11 Tip would be to get a tripod for the long still shots. Especially when you are adding overlay on the screen. Great video overall.
Gimmie a break!
@@doctorkayak I don't think I am being overly critical. But rather providing constructive criticism.
@@ThriftyGarage💯💯💯
Do they make kits for 2006 1500 Suburbans? They rust like hell too.
How about for my rotted gmt400?
Do these work if you have a 3rd door extended cab truck??? Please let me know if you find out! Thanks all
Why don't you have a link to all three?
agree great video
This was very helpful
Bushwackers are not ment to cover rust they are acutely considered rock sliders/rocker protectors.
Says right on their website they can be used to cover rust
@zachkowalik i haven't gotten mine yet so good to know lol
Wish they made these for a C10...
Do they make for Chevy express?
Excellent video
Your site doesn't have them available anymore?
Yes, they are available here: oamusa.com/collections/1999-2006-silverado-sierra-extended-cab-4-door/products/1999-2006-silverado-sierra-extended-cab-cab-rocker-cover-kit-4-door
@zachkowalik do you have any that will fit on a 2013 chevy avalanche?
@@KStatus7 unfortunately no we do not have them for Avalanche at this time.
Just Perfect. I like it.
Good video
Got em for obs? No
those do nothing but make the rust worse
Depends on if you cut all the bad rust out first then primer paint & fluid film the crud out of it.

It's plastic surgery, it won't rust anymore after!! :p
