If you dont already have mud flaps on your truck skip to 8:38
Is this a good price for silverado fender flares?? www.ebay.ca/itm/372641944949?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Eugene Krabs If you don’t already have mud flaps, get some!
so the real reason I looked this up is because I wanted to know what people did incase their fenders were rusted out and not able to put the (pine Trees) on the top. I see now its still possible so thank you! a lot of people also don't have any vids for gmc's so this is great!
Watched your entire video then noticed your from MN! I'll be doing this next week to my 2006. Thanks, New Ulm, MN
Good luck with install! I visit New Ulm for Oktoberfest sometimes, nice town.
Saint James Mn!
I was gonna install these but before I could I forgot about doing it to my Chevy Silverado like that pickup and the back fenders was beyond repairs to getting it all covered so I went and replaced the whole pickup box and was lucky to score myself a box that came with the fender flares I'm still planning on getting the front one installed aswell
It Looks Way Better!!
Thx. Easy to follow video
Just did this today with ~$60 OEM flares bought online (looks like same ones shown in this video). Absolutely great final appearance. The only thing I did different was use rust reformer before installing and I cut around the bottom bolts that were frozen in this video. I had a little more rust on the fender around that bolt and feared the mount would break free. Used simple wire cutters to cut the plastic mud flap, since they get scrapped anyway. My only complaint is that the fasteners were crap and the heads kept breaking. Save your original clips as I needed to reuse 4 of them. This simple modification will prob buy me two years of good looks. I love this old truck!
Eugene Anderson where did you find oem black for 60$
@@miahbushcraft ya where please
Nice job! Looks great, I gotta do this to mine. Also gotta love A7X!
🤘🤘
@@TonyTheTruckGuy what tape did u use?
@@Pacavelli Tape? For wrapping up the wires? I think I just used the heat shrink butt connectors and tucked the harness in, but you can use electrical tape.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy I was referring to the adhesive on the flare itself... but I'm assuming it came on it now.... the ones I got, don't have adhesive
@@Pacavelli LMAO! Sorry yes they already had the tape on them. You can order a roll of like 3/8” or 1/2” wide 3M double sided tape online though or get it at the hardware store.
I can dig it going on Amazon now 😎
good DIY video
RIP fender push pin.....gone forever but not forgotten!
Nice vid but like someone else said shoulda put something on the rust to stop it from spreading
Yeah but I just wanted to show the actual install of the flares. A lot of people just do the cover up like this. It really wasn’t worth doing anything in this case because the truck was rusted to the point where it will for sure come back and it’s a 18 year old truck with 240k
I would have Por-15`d under the wheel wells as far I could reach prior to covering up the rust, POR-15 right over the rust and up underneath, then put the Flares on.
Not a bad idea, but with 260k on this truck, I don’t suspect it will last much longer anyways haha.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy i hear ya. No need for a resto, just cover the holes! Cant get a sticker here in massachusetts with rust like that. Every truck u see 10 yrs or older on the road has those flairs on it, my 05 silverado included!
As big of a crap hole that this state is, I'm glad we at least don't have annual inspections. It should be unlawful for them to force you to fix that crap just because of a little bit of body rust. Especially when it's the state's fault for putting down salt in the winter.
Should have used the penetrant FIRST before getting the torch out. And don't ever reinstall rusty bolts that are dry. Lubed bolts always makes the reassembly go smoother......and it shows that you care.
You seem to be under the impression that this is a new, rust-free truck 😂 The bolt did its job. I’m not too concerned with a 20 year old truck that has 250k+ miles.
Any estimate for a rocker panel and cab corner replacement? I need to do mine soon. State inspection is coming up in a month or so.
The rocker and corner panels aren’t much for the part themselves, but the labor and paint will be costly. Unfortunately I haven’t had enough body work done to give an accurate estimate, and I’m not good at body work myself. I’d guess a couple thousand to get it done right.
Is there anyway to leave the mud flaps on AND have the fender trim installed at the same time? Or do the flaps have to come off in order to have the fender trim on? I have a 2000 Silverado extended cab and I’m wanting the 1-1.5” fender trim. Thanks to everyone.
I’ve seen trucks with both but I don’t think they were using the factory mud flaps, otherwise they wouldn’t fit right due to the changed contour of the fender
How long did they hold up not having clips up top? That's about where I'm at too with the rust
Ended up using some clear silicone around the top edge to cure them to the body after the tape finally let loose. Still on the truck though!
the push pins they give you suck had to take a trip to the parts store but in the end they look good
Lol wow you should have at least put primer or Bondi on the rust those flares will just fall off eventually rust spreads
Lol I know this, the truck is an 01 with 260k, not really worth doing a whole lot more to it. Just wanted the visual appeal of less rust for the rest of its life.
I agree, so the truck is old, why bother spending the time and money doing a half assed job, leave it or..... Sand off the rust as best you can, pressure wash it, tape it off spray with a rust inhibitor., they make a lot ( more research). Any thoughts on spray on bed protectors like Rhino for the wheel wells?
Did they come with the 3m adhesive or did you put that on separately?
These ones came with 3M on them already but not all of them may come with it depending on what brand you go with.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy ok thanks, i’ll try and make sure they do, if not I could definitely probably put it on myself
@@kyledeboer7813 Yeah it’s not hard to do but definitely saves some time and headache if you get a set with it already on there.
What are height and tire clearance on these ? Guessing 6inch height and tire coverage 1inch ?
According to the website I got these from:
Front Height: 3.5 Inches
Front Width: 2 Inches
Rear Height: 3.75 Inches
Rear Width: 1.5 Inches
Thanks for posting. I have a question for you or the community: Wouldn't the air pocket behind these just encourage the rust to grow faster? I like the idea of covering the rust, but will this make the issue worse?
If salt is a factor it will probably speed up the rust a bit. I’d recommend washing and drying the truck, then cover the rust with POR-15 or something before putting the flares on. This truck is an 01 with 300k on it, so I was more concerned with just the looks.
How are they doing so far after 5 years?
What brand just Amazon want to make sure I get ones with sticky tape
These ones were actually from Pro Tuning Lab. 2nd link in the video description!
What kind of 3m tape did you use?
Whaetever kind was already attached to the flare lol. Came with tape on them already, most do.
Where did you get those mud flaps?
They came on the truck from the factory.
MONEY!👍🏻
Is the intro song by parkway drive ?
Indeed! The song is Karma.
Hey Tony can you link me these specific flares? Been looking and i like this style.
Second link in video description 👍
Didnt see that lol thanks man.
@@inthezoneeeechief No problem!
What you gonna do when rust works it's way up the fender?
Let it rot lol. Previous owner bought it back and transmission is out again so it's just sitting.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy lol that sucks
Hey, my Sierra 06 has bolts at the bottom of my bed. Should I trim the fender flares or what?
Like mine does at the fender support rod?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy correct
@@briancramer2226 my flare didn’t go down that far, you’ll probably have to trim yours.
I was told to grease the rust up good.
Haha well that would aid in helping to slow it I suppose.
Why not put some rust mort and urethane over the rust?
I’m a body work novice and I just wanted a quick and easy solution so honestly I didn’t even think about it. The truck is getting up there on miles so by the time the rust comes around the flares, it will be time for the junkyard anyways haha.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing? Still looks good tho.
Y didn't you cut all the Rust off . it's only going to spread ?
That’s fine, 20 years old with over 300k miles now, no rust coming around the flares yet, just wanted to pretty it up a bit for the time being.
Do you know the size or what kind of push pins you need ?
The push clips that hold the flares on? Not 100%, but I’d guess about 1/4”.
What's the song in the beginning?
The intro? Karma by Parkway Drive.
What company are those flares from
Just added product links to the video description. The ones in this video are from Pro Tuning Lab. They are OEM style but stick out slightly more. I have another kit listed that’s a cheaper OEM knock off.
Tony The Truck Guy Thank you
the studs are aesthetic. Same installation
I’m wondering why not remover some of that rust and hit it with some rustoleum before putting flares on. And also, why not set with tape and then set fasteners.
If you set with the tape first, the fasteners may not line up right. If the truck was newer or less miles then I would have cut some rust out or hit it with some anti-rust, but at 20 years old with 250k miles, I just wanted it to look a bit better for a while.
PSA: The "Expensive" ones are currently on sale and are just as much as the "Cheap" amazon ones.
Where did you get the pins for it
Black plastic push pins? They came with these flares.
@@TonyTheTruckGuycan you show me how those looked like so I can order some?
@@xavierolvera8122 Flares or clips?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy clips
@@xavierolvera8122 I’m not sure what size they were exactly since they came with the flares, but these are the style clip - www.itweba.com/en/product/christmas-tree-clips-pine-tree-clip.html
Mn. winters are not easy on our vehicles.
Ain’t that the truth haha
good video, lol my guess is you were selling the truck. thats a z71 aftermarket decal not original
It’s been on the truck since my buddies dad got it in mid 2000’s.
Give me the give me the price on the fender player for 08 Sierra
Google, my friend. These are for ‘99-‘07, you’ll have to research what you want for ‘08+
Should have sprayed some Rust-Oleum on that rust before you put them on!
Truck is 20 years old with 300k miles, it’ll be going to the scrapyard in a few years I just wanted to make it look better for the time being. But yes, would have been a good idea if it was going to last longer.
Hey dude u need glue or something like that!!
Lol no, that’s what the plastic clips and 3M tape are for. I did end up sealing around mine with a bead of clear silicone just for good measure after the video, but it’s not necessary.
I just bought a set of these on eBay for 50 shipped. You paid 100....? Some of the clips needed to be banged in with a little hammer. On the passenger side door there's a small gap on the edge. Gonna try some super glue.
I believe I paid 100-150. I never trust something that's TOO cheap haha.
Tony The Truck Guy they came in the same box you had same tape. I didn't use the pine cone clips though I used those one that had the little sliding pins in them it came with a big bag of them.
I kind of doubt they are the exact same flares, what brand?
Tony The Truck Guy K2motors OR style fender flares 99-02 Silverado gmc
OE
As if all of the holes line up.
Did some research before I bought these and made sure several reviews said they fit decent.
damn, smh... he didnt even sand and paint over the rust first..
1/4 million mile truck and over 20 years old. No stopping that rust without fully cutting the fender edges out and welding new ones in. Wasn’t about to put that time and effort into this truck lol.
What it the wheel wells are rusted off 😂
Shit out of luck at that point haha. Custom aluminum fenders with self-tapping screws lmao
Fix those fenders first thats going to rust 100% more now😞😞😞
Not worth putting that much into this 20 year old truck with 250k miles
The guy at 11:53 looks constipated
Has got to be in the top 10 funniest comments for me, thanks!
great video but u didnt show if we can put back the mud flaps any info on that tx
You COULD put them back on, but the flares are going to mess with how they mount. You’d possibly need longer fasteners and the flaps probably won’t sit as flush as they used to, which is why I didn’t reinstall mine.
