New Fenders installed :)

Unread post by BlackKnight »

Well got them off yesterday

Well the Other 3, as one jumped off in the Halloween run...

Cleaned everything up and got to work on the front inner fender liner replacements (Ace Engineering).

One Note... One cannot install the Inner fender liners first, as the access to the bolt holes for the Bushwacker Flares are no longer accessible, OOPPS!

So Out came the fender liners this morning. Then added the brackets for the Bushwacker Flares. Put the Inner liners again and got to work on the Flares themselves.

I will tell you, Lining up the holes is a PAIN IN THE ARSE!!!

Finally, I took small pieces of Duct tape and put them on the leading edge of the metal clips so as I pushed the flare on, the clips wouldn't shift. The first one took over an hour of off and on to try to line them up, several times I'd get it half screwed in only to find one had shifted again while tightening. After figuring things out, the last flare (driver front) went on in the 1st(ish) attempt. Finally, all done and looking much better. though the open-wheel (Flareless) look was kinda cool for a day or so...

The only thing left on my list to do is to undercoat/line the rear inner wheel wells. I didn't put any of the original wheel well liners back on. the rear is 95% cosmetic anyway. this way I'll have more room to tuck a tire in without tearing the plastic.

Agreed, Was painfully, but a lot of satisfaction after the fact...
