I haven't seen any pictures of those installed. If you happen to find any, please pass them my way or post them in a post here. The BW uses some kind of edge tape to adhere theirs also. If you are not concerned about price, BW might be the best way to go. You have their reputation behind theirs. The eBay ones don't look like they would cover as much as the BW's either. Good luck.

 

It sounds to me that those pocket flares bolt on where the splash guards bolt on, and the 3m tape is to hold the top of the flare sealed against the body.

Everything stock is attached with 3m tape, any more. All the molding, the bump strips on doors, it's just tape. Do it right, prep it good, and it won't ever come off, except with a heat gun. Then you use the eraser to remove the residue.

 

Fiberglass costs the same across the board depending on class. Compacts/midsizes cost about the same, as well as full sizes/SUV's. Make doesn't matter.

Here was Glass for $175

and I've seen 2 other guys selling painted glass for $220 and $250 respectively. Do the homework, parts are you there. You just have to find them.

As for the bedsides.. HA! Pull them. Pulled bedsides = free.


AHHHHH it makes soooo much sense!
No disrespect was taken, we're good man.

 

Mine aren't pocket they are Mopar Flares bought from the dealer and my tires are 33 x 12.5 also. You can check em out in the photo... Bigger pic on my page

Cops been hassling me about my tint for years LOL...

 

AHHHHH it makes soooo much sense! GO AWAY!!! once again i'm not changing my fenders!!!!! or doing anything stupid like pulling them!!!!
you ever stop to think if there was any previous body work done? watch what happens if you pull a fender that has been repaired before there is no chance the price will come any where near close to a flare

but thanks to everyone else for actual input

 

What previous bodywork has been done to your bedside? Please enlighten us. Unless it is now made of aluminum foil, I'm sure pulling it will be fine. Drill the spotwelds, spread, reweld. Easy.

So what I posted wasn't actual input? Pulled bedsides are a free solution to half the problem you are having. Sounds like you made a hardline point earlier, and your ego is preventing you from taking good advice.
Whatever, your $$$. Your problem. I have multiple vehicles with tires well outside the wells and cops have never bothered me. Prolly because I've never given them a reason to pull me over. Like obnoxious tint.

 

Putting on fender flares is a hell of a lot easier, faster, and instantly makes the truck legal.

And yes, "selective enforcement" of certain laws is not a big surprise.

 

the point is, if any body filler is on the truck where you go bending fenders, it is going to have the same results as trying to bend window glass,

i think just about everyone knows who has the ego problem, and no! it was not actual input for this thread, for the THIRD TIME i'm not doing anything to my fenders, other than flares

the truck was bought from wyoming with the tint already installed, and the law around here just loves to enforce vehical infractions, always have, but one good thing is they got rid of 99% of the ricers

 

well a bit fo reasearch found a few 3rd gen guys here with the ebay flares, the brand name is prestige, and they seem quite happy with them, so they are on the way, getting the textured ones, hopefully will get along nicely with the line-x on the bed rails, and on the bumpers, will post pics when installed, hoppefully next week sometime, thanks guy's

 

Let us know how you like them. I will have to see if I can find anymore info on them. Thanks for posting what you found.
