“Fender Liners for the Buckit“ Built Not Bought #23

[@awesomefish100]

As a kid Bucky showed me how to shred vert in skate videos, 20 years later as an adult he shows me how to make wheel well liners for my car. The internet is pretty sweet.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

👊🏼😉

[@R3negad3BB01]

Man, no joke, that was one of the best DIY jobs I've ever seen. Started all the way from scratch, created your own template, & ended up with an amazing product. Awesome stuff, man!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

R3negad3BB01 Thanks, I’m super stoked on it.

[@gpeaes]

That moment you flipped the liner and it worked on the passenger side made you look like a kid on Christmas morning. That was awesome!

[@justinturner4850]

SO many how tos on fender flares and widebodies. But only one video on how to do fender liners! Thanks so much Bucky🤙

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Appreciate it! Glad you found it helpful!

[@mjd85la]

Looking good! Smart idea with the blue tape finding the hole, better then just jamming a screw driver in there searching blindly lol. I’d suggest taking a heat gun to the liners to help it mold better to the inside contours.

[@mattv.7402]

"Poke and hope" ... my new mantra.

[@DCtropical]

This is probably one of the best videos I will find to help me make fender liners for myself

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

For sure👍🏼👍🏼

[@jonathanharmon23]

dude i can’t get over how much i love that you are just a gear head/fabricator at heart. i love it. that is totally my mentality. just jump in and do it.

[@jeb419]

Bucky you’re quite the fabricator. I love that you just go for this stuff, don’t over analyze. This is the sort of thing that would give me paralysis my analysis and seeing you just go in and make the template as you go, is inspiring. Great stuff.

[@ronaldsanpedro1976]

I have the same problem like your wiper slack in my 1989 corolla. We disable the whole wiper cowl. The problem was a worn out plastic bushing inside the wiper arm. My uncle made a new bushing out of plastic bottle caps. That was 7 years ago. Still holding up well.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Ronald San Pedro WOW, that’s what I’m talking about. I love stories like that👍🏼

[@allyourbase888]

I need some MD socks like our bro Mr. Lasek. Grew up bmxing and skating in Maryland in the 80s-90s. Raced bmx for Rockville BMX. Bought my 1st board from Sunshine House in Bethesda 1981( Cab’s 1st board without concave, tracker trucks, orange powell V-IV mini cubics). My first vert drop in was at Wiggies. Skating and the DC Hardcore scene in the 80s saved me from a life of complete douchebaggery. Building and “not” buying was the way of life if you wanted ramp skate in MD in the 80-90s. I love that our generation of Marylanders has been so influential in inspiring the world to extreme sports; Pastrana, Block and Lasek...MD Royalty! Slams are taking longer to recover from these days so I’m on the hunt for an rs to rally when I’m recovering ;). Thanks for reppin MD to the world Bucky. You do us proud. Long live Lasek! Long live Landsdowne!

[@vinbags]

Bucky you are the fender well template master...poke and hope baby!!!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Vincent Paterniti Hahaha👍🏻

[@bluedeva]

All the prep work paid off, loved the little celebration dance 👌🏻🤗

[@geertvanoyen1234]

Hey, maybe it is an idea to put the measurements on the cardboard template and post it here on top as a sticky, so the many people with wide body's gc8 can use it as base measurements to make there own. Great job by the way. I have done the same with mine about a year a go.

[@stevenjohann5435]

awesome idea.!!!!!.... looks clean, it's (assumedly) lightweight, much quieter than alum., not too expensive or time cunsuming, and would be super easy to add future venting for discs,trans/oil coolers,etc........saved this one in my subie-schtuff list, and i will be doing something very similar for my inner fenderwells.......thanks tons..........................many love, much props

This has to be one of those mods that gets neglected by so many people. I really enjoyed this episode. Kepp up the good work Bucky!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

boostdtalon 👍🏼😉

[@JasonHartwell]

This was a perfect example of "measure twice, cut once" type work. Looked super tedious making the cardboard template but that set up paid off with such a clean install. It's been great watching this build.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

K G Thanks, it was wearing on me and I finally made it happen👍🏼

[@PerfectRumble]

Amazing work! Whenever I see cars with widebody kits or fender flares it makes me anxious to find out what kind of fender liners they're running (or none at all). I'm loving it how much attention and detail you put into yours! Great stuff, just like the rest of BNB episodes ;]

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thanks 👊🏼

[@Kblessthealien]

So many little hacks on display for this build. Ok now I gotta go do this to my Bugeye and my maybe is300 now. Good stuff Bucky!

[@Franface31]

0:49 WE'RE JUST A MINOR THREAT The Buckit is looking good! You did an awesome job on the fender liners.

[@TheBarrettCompound]

There's either 1 or 2 plastic bushings inside there that hook the wipers to a linkage and the motor. Mine, the bushings were shot and from them being like that for so long one of the arms was a little bent.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

B Barrett 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jwal831]

WINDSHIELD WIPER LINK SOLUTION. Hey Bucky i've had the same problem with my bugeye WRX. Mine got damaged by impact (had the wiper arms up cleaning the windshield, then lifted my hood to detail it while the arms were still up and... shit broke. Its a total pain in the ass when your wiper arms are just flopping all over the place and onto your A Pillar lol. Anyway, whats wrong is one of the ball and socket joints on the wiper link has broken its nylon fitting that takes up the freeplay. I ordered a used one off ebay or something from a wrecking yard and it had the same exact problem. I ended up just ordering one from the subaru dealer, I think it was like $120. After replacing the wiper link and re-using the old wiper arms, i've found that my driver side wiper arm now has a specific groove to it and it doesn't park itself where it previously used to (sit's about 3/4" higher on the windshield.) Since the wipers now work properly again, i haven't felt like buying a new wiper arm to get it to park where it originally did. But overall, you need a new wiper link assembly and its probably worth your time to just go through the dealer for it, obviously you can just re-use the motor. Hope this helps, I enjoy the content.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Jeffrey Wallace Thanks for the info💪🏼🔥

[@HallFleming]

Same for me on my GD. You can’t get the plastic bushings, you have to buy the whole assembly. Not too bad and well worth it.

[@smbmxable]

I Have the same problem. Off to the shed to see if it is the same reason. Thanks Jeffrey

[@mattkennedy5378]

Definitely wiper linkage. It’s a complete assembly. Just replaced it on my bug eye wrx. Mine got so bad the wipers went past the A pillar one day. Very easy to replace. Got mine from the dealer.

[@koozmusic]

You can get the bushings to fix these for like $5 from AutoZone. I fixed this issue on my '03 Forester using them. They are part of a generic kit. Search "Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushing Assortment." It took a bit of manhandling to press them in, but it's been like 2 years since I did this and they're still working great. There's an 8-page thread on NASIOC titled "Wiper Problem" with further details.

[@Agent45gixxer]

One of the Best DIY vids I've seen Buck yeah

[@PedroFTeixeira]

One of the hardest mods you've done "for what it is"... But great, great job... def, built not bought. And at least you didn't get extra holes on the engine compartment, center console.... :D

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Pedro Teixeira Hahaha, right?! Imagine if someone like the kook tries to do something like this for you!

[@birdsarcasm]

Dear BL, ive been binge watching these bnb build, jumping from video to video. love that you put fifteen52 wheels on buckit!! the look just fits! also hoping that hotwheels will make your car into their premium line not just the mainline, either way, im happy for you and the build. wishing the best for you sir!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Aiman Daniel 👊🏼❤️

[@richardmhain]

Great fender liner fabrication there, would be nice if I could use the idea to build liner for Dodge Journey, with easy access to battery. Thanks for sharing. Been long time, I guess it'll be easier to find holes if they are included in cardboard template. Few millimeter bigger should be fine. To awesome custom built stuff - Cheers!

[@rossnos]

So sick man, little things like that make life a little easier on cars. Love the colour of the car too bet its so much nicer in person though

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

RossNos1 Thanks, it’s primer still but should look close to the same once final paint is on.

[@rossnos]

@@BuckyLasekOfficial its the best looking primer i've ever seen and i've worked in bodyshop before 😂

[@AutoXStang]

I noticed after closing up the fenders, now there’s an access in the front that will trap air flow in the new liner area... I would close up the front so that it won’t parachute the fender liners and tear them down. Just a thought.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Kyle Knight Got it, 👍🏼

[@MV-Dan]

Thanks for the video Lasek, I was looking for ideas on custom fender liners for my 4Runner and found this. Super helpful

Ceramic coat the liners so the mud doesn’t stick.

[@daedelus_]

I randomly came across your series of vids. Didn't know you did rallycross and were a subaru gearhead. I appreciate the built not bought mentality. Result, I watched them all in about a day or so. The Bucket is beautiful man. Getting some good ideas for my GC8 GT Turbo as well, cheers!

[@edinsonvelascojr1714]

I just changed the windshield wiper transmission on my fozzy. They didnt make it to where you can just swap out a bushing. You need to remove the old wiper trans, insert the new one and she'll be as good as new.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Edinson Velasco Jr Got it!

[@stevemartegani]

Thanks for doing this vid. NOBODY shows what they do for fender liners with the widebody fenders... I would up modifying the stock ones and adding some vinyl wrap to cover the gaps!

[@OnTheFloorGarage]

I'm all about using cereal box cardboard for templates... Buck Yeah!

[@msp2081]

The wiper assembly issued happened in my 04 WRX. There was a plastic piece that wore out and caused the whole assembly to move. I believe its called a washer or a bushing. Fix that soon because the driver side wiper can roll over the A pillar and scratch your paint. That's what I can remember off the top of my head. Edit: Might have found a picture of the culprit.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

msp2081 It’s doing that already but my car is primer still but needs to be addressed 👍🏼

[@mohamedmuneem77]

This is an awesome DIY, I would have made 2-3 sets of the trim just in case.

[@danzosky2987]

Great video Bucky!! I just watched all 23 of BNB over the past 3 days, lol. I like how even though if you wanted to throw crazy money at this and have someone else build it every step of the way you're truly making it your own and doing it yourself. At the end of the day that's what emotionally attaches you to a car. I had a 04 STi for 5 years and the mods I did along the way truly made that car part of me. My focus has shifted a little bit now. I don't have the STi anymore, I have a bunch of motorcycles and a nice newer truck to haul them around in, but I dream of the day I can do a build similar to this out of my garage, my way. Keep up the good work Bucky! From one skater to another 🤙🏼

[@PedroFTeixeira]

Just seen your video on Hoonigan AutoFocus. 2 tips: Get a front lower H brace. Any GC should have it. No downsides and the front end just gets a lot more precise. I can't praise this mod enough. Get your handbrake adjusted! It's 20min for you, there are some access holes on the rear hub, it's a pain, but it's like 20min! :D :D

Bad ass mod man. Suggestion - you're going to get a lot of high pressure in front of those liners, so you may want to cut a hole and louver the leading edge of the liners. Other than that, I'm going to steal your method so hard.
