'99-'07 Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra Fender Flare Installation Video

If you dont already have mud flaps on your truck skip to 8:38

Is this a good price for silverado fender flares?? www.ebay.ca/itm/372641944949?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

[@seanfried5583]

Eugene Krabs If you don’t already have mud flaps, get some!

[@stevencallahan6815]

so the real reason I looked this up is because I wanted to know what people did incase their fenders were rusted out and not able to put the (pine Trees) on the top. I see now its still possible so thank you! a lot of people also don't have any vids for gmc's so this is great!

[@mikekalz6099]

Watched your entire video then noticed your from MN! I'll be doing this next week to my 2006. Thanks, New Ulm, MN

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Good luck with install! I visit New Ulm for Oktoberfest sometimes, nice town.

Just did this today with ~$60 OEM flares bought online (looks like same ones shown in this video). Absolutely great final appearance. The only thing I did different was use rust reformer before installing and I cut around the bottom bolts that were frozen in this video. I had a little more rust on the fender around that bolt and feared the mount would break free. Used simple wire cutters to cut the plastic mud flap, since they get scrapped anyway. My only complaint is that the fasteners were crap and the heads kept breaking. Save your original clips as I needed to reuse 4 of them. This simple modification will prob buy me two years of good looks. I love this old truck!

[@berad187]

I was gonna install these but before I could I forgot about doing it to my Chevy Silverado like that pickup and the back fenders was beyond repairs to getting it all covered so I went and replaced the whole pickup box and was lucky to score myself a box that came with the fender flares I'm still planning on getting the front one installed aswell

[@mikereilly8376]

Should have used the penetrant FIRST before getting the torch out. And don't ever reinstall rusty bolts that are dry. Lubed bolts always makes the reassembly go smoother......and it shows that you care.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You seem to be under the impression that this is a new, rust-free truck 😂 The bolt did its job. I’m not too concerned with a 20 year old truck that has 250k+ miles.

[@christopherdeitz5436]

I would have Por-15`d under the wheel wells as far I could reach prior to covering up the rust, POR-15 right over the rust and up underneath, then put the Flares on.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Not a bad idea, but with 260k on this truck, I don’t suspect it will last much longer anyways haha.

[@alexp362]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy i hear ya. No need for a resto, just cover the holes! Cant get a sticker here in massachusetts with rust like that. Every truck u see 10 yrs or older on the road has those flairs on it, my 05 silverado included!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

As big of a crap hole that this state is, I'm glad we at least don't have annual inspections. It should be unlawful for them to force you to fix that crap just because of a little bit of body rust. Especially when it's the state's fault for putting down salt in the winter.

[@paint3ball]

RIP fender push pin.....gone forever but not forgotten!

[@ericwapelhorst7028]

Is there anyway to leave the mud flaps on AND have the fender trim installed at the same time? Or do the flaps have to come off in order to have the fender trim on? I have a 2000 Silverado extended cab and I’m wanting the 1-1.5” fender trim. Thanks to everyone.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I’ve seen trucks with both but I don’t think they were using the factory mud flaps, otherwise they wouldn’t fit right due to the changed contour of the fender

[@alexvogt8553]

What brand just Amazon want to make sure I get ones with sticky tape

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

These ones were actually from Pro Tuning Lab. 2nd link in the video description!

Nice job! Looks great, I gotta do this to mine. Also gotta love A7X!

[@Pacavelli]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy what tape did u use?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Pacavelli Tape? For wrapping up the wires? I think I just used the heat shrink butt connectors and tucked the harness in, but you can use electrical tape.

[@Pacavelli]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I was referring to the adhesive on the flare itself... but I'm assuming it came on it now.... the ones I got, don't have adhesive

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Pacavelli LMAO! Sorry yes they already had the tape on them. You can order a roll of like 3/8” or 1/2” wide 3M double sided tape online though or get it at the hardware store.

[@edgecrusher8605]

How long did they hold up not having clips up top? That's about where I'm at too with the rust

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Ended up using some clear silicone around the top edge to cure them to the body after the tape finally let loose. Still on the truck though!

[@abcloft302]

I can dig it going on Amazon now 😎

[@kyledeboer7813]

Did they come with the 3m adhesive or did you put that on separately?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

These ones came with 3M on them already but not all of them may come with it depending on what brand you go with.

[@kyledeboer7813]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy ok thanks, i’ll try and make sure they do, if not I could definitely probably put it on myself

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@kyledeboer7813 Yeah it’s not hard to do but definitely saves some time and headache if you get a set with it already on there.

[@kingnino4836]

Nice vid but like someone else said shoulda put something on the rust to stop it from spreading

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah but I just wanted to show the actual install of the flares. A lot of people just do the cover up like this. It really wasn’t worth doing anything in this case because the truck was rusted to the point where it will for sure come back and it’s a 18 year old truck with 240k

[@drewsquickfix]

Lol wow you should have at least put primer or Bondi on the rust those flares will just fall off eventually rust spreads

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Lol I know this, the truck is an 01 with 260k, not really worth doing a whole lot more to it. Just wanted the visual appeal of less rust for the rest of its life.

[@tommartinez62]

I agree, so the truck is old, why bother spending the time and money doing a half assed job, leave it or..... Sand off the rust as best you can, pressure wash it, tape it off spray with a rust inhibitor., they make a lot ( more research). Any thoughts on spray on bed protectors like Rhino for the wheel wells?

[@walterwoomer7906]

the push pins they give you suck had to take a trip to the parts store but in the end they look good

[@johnreynolds6291]

What are height and tire clearance on these ? Guessing 6inch height and tire coverage 1inch ?

[@davidkline03]

What you gonna do when rust works it's way up the fender?

Let it rot lol. Previous owner bought it back and transmission is out again so it's just sitting.

[@tonyhoffman1755]

Why not put some rust mort and urethane over the rust?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I’m a body work novice and I just wanted a quick and easy solution so honestly I didn’t even think about it. The truck is getting up there on miles so by the time the rust comes around the flares, it will be time for the junkyard anyways haha.

[@ShinyKnife]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing? Still looks good tho.

[@jaredcarney593]

PSA: The "Expensive" ones are currently on sale and are just as much as the "Cheap" amazon ones.

[@AdamRud47]

Any estimate for a rocker panel and cab corner replacement? I need to do mine soon. State inspection is coming up in a month or so.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

The rocker and corner panels aren’t much for the part themselves, but the labor and paint will be costly. Unfortunately I haven’t had enough body work done to give an accurate estimate, and I’m not good at body work myself. I’d guess a couple thousand to get it done right.

[@benbrubaker7896]

Thanks for posting. I have a question for you or the community: Wouldn't the air pocket behind these just encourage the rust to grow faster? I like the idea of covering the rust, but will this make the issue worse?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

If salt is a factor it will probably speed up the rust a bit. I’d recommend washing and drying the truck, then cover the rust with POR-15 or something before putting the flares on. This truck is an 01 with 300k on it, so I was more concerned with just the looks.

[@DavidGarcia-re9qh]

How are they doing so far after 5 years?

Thx. Easy to follow video

Indeed! The song is Karma.

[@blakej4452]

[@SuperKiller177]

Where did you get those mud flaps?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

They came on the truck from the factory.

[@joesalemi2414]

I’m wondering why not remover some of that rust and hit it with some rustoleum before putting flares on. And also, why not set with tape and then set fasteners.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

If you set with the tape first, the fasteners may not line up right. If the truck was newer or less miles then I would have cut some rust out or hit it with some anti-rust, but at 20 years old with 250k miles, I just wanted it to look a bit better for a while.

[@spiritinthesky572]

the studs are aesthetic. Same installation

[@jayfaadez_9129]

Do you know the size or what kind of push pins you need ?

The push clips that hold the flares on? Not 100%, but I’d guess about 1/4”.

I just bought a set of these on eBay for 50 shipped. You paid 100....? Some of the clips needed to be banged in with a little hammer. On the passenger side door there's a small gap on the edge. Gonna try some super glue.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I believe I paid 100-150. I never trust something that's TOO cheap haha.

[@mediaguy4037]

Tony The Truck Guy they came in the same box you had same tape. I didn't use the pine cone clips though I used those one that had the little sliding pins in them it came with a big bag of them.

Hey dude u need glue or something like that!!
