RHDesignsCorp Fender Flares Group Buy ( 05+ Tacoma )

Well, I received them. I'll post pictures of the gaps, but a couple of issues--the instructions are terrible and there are many extra bolts that have no instruction on where to go. The nuts are too fat and they scratch the paint and leave a gap between the flare and the body. If anyone has a fix, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, from a distance, they look good.

 

I have the same issues..

 

I hate to say it, but I'm not impressed. This is going to take a TON of work on each bolt to make this problem go away. If it's made for our trucks, it should fit. I feel like I just got some textured black plastic and a bunch of hardware that all needs to be fit to the truck

 

Agreed

 

This is what I need to fix the gap and some clips on the hole of the fender.

 

Or I'll have to hit all the nuts with a grinder to get them to let the flare sit flat. I really don't want to have to take them all off and do that. That'll take AT LEAST an entire afternoon just to make it look flush.

 

Yeah and in the 100 degree heat, it isn't worth it.

 

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely let our vendor know about this problem in regards to the rivet bolts being too long and try to get this fixed as soon as possible. When they have a fix for it, I'll let you guys know, and to send out a new set of hardwares to those who are having the problems of the bolts hitting the fenders. If you guys have any question, please feel free to contact us at info@rhdesignscorp.com and we can help answer any of them for you.

 

It may be easier to use standard nuts (the spinny kind) with some loctite instead of the bulky lock nuts...

 

Any resolution?

I'll do a video walkaround of it once the weather changes..we've had some crappy weather this week.

 

It's been another week. Anything? Bueller?

 

I would think this also. It's the lock nuts that cause the issue.

 

Yeah I Installed mine Yesterday and same thing went and got none nylon nuts put lock tight on em instead but there far from sitting flush looks good from faraway but youll have to do some modding to get them to look perfect.

Anyone have the front flare bottoms stick out not touch the body if so what did you guys do about it?

 

Mine stick out past the bottom of the body too..

Just another flaw in these fender flares.

I may go back to stock pretty soon...

 

So i found a way to kind of fix the problem i drilled a hole in the corner of the bottom piece and zap strapped it to the body mount pulling it tight looks alot better hope that makes sense.

 

Man sorry you guys are having issues, guess since I cut mine I don't really notice it as much, Aside from the bolt issue.
