helps to have an extra set of hands. but if you dont ,use some painters tape to help ya hold the flare to the fender. its a real easy install. it takes longer to put the seal and hardwear on then it does to bolt them up. happy modding!!!

 

Good idea with the painters tape. Ill do that for sure. Did the rubber seal and hardware the other day. That was time consuming but easy.

 

yeah it wont take ya 30-45 mins to install if that!

 

Nice cause it took a while for the hardware. Being careful w the new paint and all. Thanks. Ill post some before and after pics.

 

I'm hoping so. Here is the stance now and the BW flares should balance that out nicely.

 

Finished the install this morning. Took about 90 minutes but was taking my time. Thanks to Toeb for the painters tape hint. Made it easy to handle solo. The difference is amazing imho. $850 mod but well worth it. Here are some before and after pics. Quick wipe down so truck is a little dirty. My apologies.

All ya need to do now is BHLM !!!

 

I am not familiar with that term. Help a tundra brother out.

 

Make your stock headlights look like Pro headlights...
Black HeadLight Mod... BHLM

 

Nice. Thinking this or that.

 

Spyders or new 2018s

 

your most welcome. glad it worked out for ya, and it looks awesome. i have the rough country pocket flares i like them alot but there is one thing that bothers me about these type of flares. i wish the had a extra piece for the front bumper, so the flare didn't just stop abruptly at the bumper edge. imo it would look better if the flare came all the way to the bottom of the bumper be a cleaner look like the tacomas.

 

looking nice. question is, how do you re seal it?

 

At Advance Auto they sell a 3M product rubber butyl strand which is similar to permaseal or morimoto.com sells

 

Your truck looks awesome!

FF balanced out the look for a little less aggressive stance.

What wheels are you running?

 

what is your offset?

 

Did you have any issues with the right rear flare not sitting flush? For some reason my flare wont sit completely flush no matter how much I try to modify the alignment with the screws. Trying to see if anyone else has a similar issue.

 

Hey Angel. Sorry the late response. Just back from Puerto Rico run. Wheels are moto metal 970s 18x9. Tires are nitto terra grapplers 35x12.5/18. Rims came with the truck, may upgrade later this year. You can find the 970s for around $180. Hope the knee is healing up okay for you.

 

Here's one after I used some compound and a drill cone meguiars rim cleaning tool.

 

Don't know the exact offset, bought truck in Feb and rims were on it. Looks like about a -30 or so. Your rim shop should be able to tell you the required offset once you pick out rims and tire size to give you the stance you want.

 

No issues thank god. Perfect fitmit all flares all around. Try using a heat gun on low setting to manipulate the flare. Be careful if you have them painted. Heat should work though to mold it a little better.

 

thanks! no worries on response time! I'm still looking for a wheel i want....choices choices....


it's ok....hurts. i found out that even "easy" walking areas in the mountains don't like me right now

 

i like those...thanks for the pic

 

Thanks I'll give that a try.
