anyone not running fender flares?

Ran no flares up front for awhille, never thought of a way to fill the holes

 

Totally diggin this look thinkin i have to do it..

 

Thanks everyone for the pics! I'm for sure doing it once I get mine lifted.

And Blackhawk sell me those dam headlights. Truck looks sick bud

 

I saw a 4x4 with no flares the other day, looked really out of place to me, best to keep that look exclusively for 2wd models. But to each his own, its your truck do what you want with it.

 

id just run them without flares until i had the cash for glass fenders

 

what am I missing?

why remove the fender flares? and then have fenders with holes?

I don't get it?

 

i like the look of fenders with holes...idk why.

 

I thought about doing this too, only because one of the flares is being held on by zip ties ha ha! Maximillion how di you do your flares? They look sick.

 

Thanks man. I guess kinda like HomerTaco or did he do his like mine? Haha anyway yeah he does a better job of explaining what he did. Though we did them slightly different, end result is the same.

Basically had a shop cut out 2", filled back in gaps, used a special 3M automix adhesive with pneumatic gun, bonded, smoothed, etc...

HomerTaco started with bushwackers and did a similar thing but used a slightly different method. Probably the way to go because the stock clips suck a big one.

I had them go back and use the same automix adhesive to glue the rears to the truck. Fronts seemed to fair better.

Oh and I had to cut 2" out of the sheetmetal.

 

thats how i bought my truck... dont care for it, i feel like im missing something.

 

Wheeling with larger tires destroys them, why not sell them for money instead of throwing them away after they are useless?

 

makes sense

 

Doesnt sound too difficult but it definitely sounds very tedious. I dont really want to pay for the bushwhackers so maybe Ill give your way a try. I didnt want to use adhesive on the oe thats being held by a ziptie just in case I could find a better looking way of doing it.

 

Something to look into would be xrunner fenders. Now I'm not sure if the front is the same but on the boxsides there are no holes for the flares. If the fenders are the same way AND they fit on the 4X4's it would be a simple solution minus all the painting. But I have no idea if there's holes for clips or not, have taken them off an xrunner yet

 

Thought about that befor getting glass

 

You sir, are wise.

 

Ignore the stupid first gen





There are 2 different 2nd gens here, though they look very alike.

 

That cut is flawless!
