can I turn RAIN GUTTER in to SIDE SKIRTS?!??!

That's right, in this video I show you how to turn a piece of rain gutter from a house in to a custom, stylish side skirt for under $68 total. I used PVC (plastic) gutter and included plastic aero bits from Amazon.
MERCH: barelybuiltright.creator-spri...
Aero (check dimensions!):
amzn.to/3ilIdp8
and
amzn.to/3vKW0sv
Flares are "extension style" flares and come from Pinnacle flares on ebay:
ebay.us/XpTslb
Wheel spacers are 2" (6x120 for my truck) and come from Titan:
amzn.to/3r53DaP
The truck is also lowered with the Belltech 1100SP 4/3" kit.

Good go see other people going this route. When we did ours it got a lot of backlash, but then the video has remained our top video every year for a month 😂

People love saving money! Appreciate the comment!

[@djparra41]

I like expensive and nice shit, but I absolutely love clever and creative ways to achieve a desired result on a budget. Anyone that has hate for this is just mad because they spent all summer delivering pizzas so they can save up for a rocket bunny kit that turned out to be a fake.

For a diy it looks great. You've definitely given me some new ideas for myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@mitchsterling3266]

I want to see someone transplant an entire roof and interior from a 2006 GMC suburbon onto one of these with the tv and every thing lol this looks really good by the way. Great job. When I had my bmw e46, I made a huge front lip on my 330i from a similiar plastic from the garden section lol. That was 15 years ago lol this makes me so happy. best video ever.

I’m mean obviously it looks good compared to what you were looking at before 😂 doesn’t take much

[@Reman1975]

Well that's given me flashbacks. :D Back when I had my Lexus IS200 (A "Sport", with factory fitted "Aero", and "Navigator" packs no less ! 😎 🤣) I wanted a cheap sacrificial splitter for the front bumper, but I couldn't find any sheets of thick black PVC for an acceptable price, so I bought a length of black 6" waste pipe. I split it, put it on a sheet of OSB and pointed a torpedo heater at it for 20 minutes to soften it right up. I then just unrolled it and let it cool. The beauty of using a tube was that I didn't need to split it in a straight line. I cut a large curve in it that almost went all the way round at the middle, so when unrolled it turned into a large flat arc (sort of banana shaped). Because the front bumper on that had a raised section in the middle I then put the sheet of PVC back on the OSB board with another piece of wood of the right width and height to create this bit, and torpedo heatered it again until it sagged to the right shape. Once shaped I screwed it to the underside of the bumper, trimmed it to follow 1.5" out from it's lower edge, and sanded it smooth. To finish it I just wrapped the top (and around the outer edge) with some glossy black car body wrap film I had stuffed on a shelf. It looked quite presentable, and fulfilled its purpose perfectly well (Which was to nudge high curbs when using "Nose in" on road parking before the paint on my bumper could).

[@bobbyserchion]

Not bad man that's dam good 😊😂😅

Excellent result bro, I would probably ditch the aero canards at the front wheels, but this kinda stuff is right up my alley!

[@craigsawyer6453]

Use Rivet nuts as well as nuts and bolts when ever fastening something to your vehicle, lest you give yourself a flat tire.

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

And that's top of mind

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Liking that!

[@genesiscarrillo9831]

I have a question regarding the front part, is it possible if you can drop it only one inch, without having to mess with the coil overs and springs just leaving it on a stocked shock??

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

I don't really see a way to drop the front at all without replacing the springs. The Belltech kit comes with a lot of shims that allow you to choose your drop up front, max of 3". You may be able to buy just the front end parts directly from them.

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

I have rust at the bottom of my door on the body side can I use the same idea the shape has a slight angle

[@BarelyBuiltRight]

Possibly! Mess around with the location of each skirt and you might be able to hide some of it. Make sure you have enough metal to hold the skirts on

[@HellaEdward]

Dope!

[@JHKCF]

It may be a stupid idea but I was thinking using spray foam to fill in the void behind to stiffen it up and would be light weight as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️
