PROTECT YOUR PAINT...RDJ TRUCKS PRO-X-TEND FENDER FLARES - 2020 TOYOTA TACOMA - STEP-BY-STEP INSTALL

[@tacoma_jon]

Did someone say my name?! Whooo!

[@robertyoung8289]

I would of not been able to sleep if you didn't clean behind those flares! Looks good brother.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Haha yea I’m there with you man. That shit bothers me to no end.

[@kaboshthegoat]

Just finished mounting my textured flares. Thanks for your advice on the fitment, Kelly. RDJ 'extends' further down than OEM, so the edge trim/gasket...based on vid fits perfectly. One cautionary piece- Go very slow on your 'wonder wheel', 3M, etc. on the very thickly layered paint...even if on metal. It's a ton of clear coat that I burned through, even on low rpms. Just take your time & go VERY SLOW. This has nothing to do with the product- simply adhesive cleanup. This is a great product I used on my '21 OR, and would recommend it for sure! Great look & functional!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks man. Yea that wonder wheel is awesome and gets out of control fast.

[@shanewilson2270]

The rdj site seems really odd. They were out of everything and said they can reserve some. So they sent me a e invoice. Then the invoice had my shadow man name on it and not my actual name.

[@AdventureBuilt]

@@shanewilson2270 that is weird. Give them a call. They seemed helpful when ordering mine.

[@7117islander]

I also installed the fender flares but I also but half inch clear vinyl tape on the truck to protect the paint from the rubber lining.

[@joetv3139]

Fenders look awesome I love watching the Australian overlanders like sean and gram on 4wd247 and now your truck look like its ready for the outback I love it!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man. I watch all their videos also. They are crazy funny and good behind the wheel. Thanks for watching!!!

[@tim3308]

Well done video! Agreed on the non bolt look. It is possible to have OEM mud flaps installed w/ these fender flares?

[@tacoma_jon]

The new fender flares look good 🤙🏼

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks Jon, I am obviously crazy busy if I’m responding to comments days later. See you soon. 😁😁😁😁

[@llrmo]

Ive been trying to buy the exact same ones you have but they've been out of stock for awhile now

[@KayBertoss]

Another awesome DIY video. Flares look great and hopefully will provide desired results long term. Keep an eye out for paint rubbing even with the rubber gasket installed. One other KZbinr had this happen on his Tacoma with aftermarket flares. I’d really be interested in a truck update. How many miles, how ofter you have the oil changed, any mechanical issues and if you have had to deal with the dealership for any warranty issues. Especially with a modified truck if they gave you the run around if you needed something looked at. Maybe in a future DIY video you can add this in?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you and I’ll definitely keep an eye out. I kinda thought that may happen when dust gets on their and rubs.

[@AdventureBuilt]

I plan on doing an update on the Tacoma very soon.

[@White_buffalo_4r]

I have their textured pocket style on our 4Runner and they fit and look very well and much better price than Bushwacker

[@AdventureBuilt]

💯

[@dougcohen3319]

What is the part number for what you installed … I like this smooth look and not the exposed bolts

[@KoaBohdi]

What is the wonder wheel made of and pls advise where and how much it Shostakovich to buy, thanks, I really enjoy your vids!

[@Mumfy64]

Congrats Jon!!

[@cheyneturbyfill4727]

What brand is your camper top? Looks great!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you. It’s a RLD Designs.

[@ShootingSportz]

Wow looks great! Another great walk-through. I ordered a 3TPAM from the install video you did, we appreciate all of the mod ideas!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much and so glad you like it!!!!

[@mikesmods2670]

Quick question away from the flares. What size tires are you running and what brand of rock sliders do you have?

[@AdventureBuilt]

I run the BFG KM3 35x12.5r17 on Method 701 wheels and run White Knuckle Offroad Rock sliders.

[@MrVtecmaniac]

Just wondering why are you not using the fender flares anymore on your other videos?

[@BrianKindly]

Did you go with "rhino smooth" for this look?

[@AdventureBuilt]

I sure did.

[@xsailor1970]

Another great video Kelly! Have you looked at Goat Armor for your truck? I’ve been considering it myself. If you do please m,are a video, I love to get your thoughts on it.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much. I like the idea of goat armor but not sure about how it will hold up at highway speed and then storage. Worth looking into.

[@jesturcastillo]

Great video bro. Do u still have your old flares 🤓, can u donate them to me please. I live in the valley too 🙏🏻😅

[@ponolovefarms3926]

Those look great man

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jeffz4225]

Wont leave scratches underneath flares?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Nope it sure doesn’t.

[@bengleckl1877]

What holds the top in place?? The tape only holds the gasket on right??

[@AdventureBuilt]

The fenders are held on by screws.

[@bengleckl1877]

@@AdventureBuilt I know the bottom is but im talking about the top .the oem ones have clips on top and screws on the bottom.i would assume the top of the fenders could possibly vibrate while driving on the highway .after installation does it look like if u wanted to add tape to the top that you couod or is there no where to stick it???

[@AdventureBuilt]

@@bengleckl1877 yea the top is held in by screws also. It’s really secure.

[@ShredGarage]

I think you pronounced the name wrong. It’s “jeh-ruh-mee shu-red” Haha. Congrats Jon

[@tacoma_jon]

Hahaha. Awesome. Thanks man. Appreciate it

[@DM-tf6mk]

Third!! Did that gasket have adhesive to stick to the body?

[@AdventureBuilt]

No the adhesive is to the fender. It is just a rubber gasket to the body. The screws under the fender hold it nice and tight though.

[@wheelsandtiresudepartment3592]

howmuch more coverage does htis flare have would it cover a 22x12 -44 wheel

[@AdventureBuilt]

No idea if it will cover. Gives you just about 2” of extra coverage.

[@danielhrechka5609]

Curious how they are holding up?

[@AdventureBuilt]

I actually took them off and went back to the stock fenders. Just didn’t like the look over time. Personal preference. They protected the paint way better though.

[@danielhrechka5609]

@@AdventureBuilt Thanks for the info ! Not sure how I’m going to deal with mine and keep the current appearance. Not many options

[@jboeckel]

@@AdventureBuilt I just bought a used 2018 tundra and was going to try these flares until I read that you had taken them off. I was hoping you could tell me why. I plan on painting mine super white to match, would that factor into leaving yours on if they had been painted? Thank you very much.

[@AdventureBuilt]

@@jboeckel so I ended taking them off purely for looks. They protect well, I just didn’t like the way they made my tires looks smaller in pics and video. If you like the way they look, go for it. They are really good to protect your paint. Trevor is still running his and loves them. Also having them be body color will most likely make them blend better and not stand out so much. Hope this helps.

[@desertpyrotechics]

Whats your off set on your wheels?

[@desertpyrotechics]

Im going -38 in the stealth custom series ray 10s and i wanna know if this will protect my paint. Thanks and cool channel .

[@AdventureBuilt]

The offset is 0 but I would do -12mm if I could do it over again.

[@AdventureBuilt]

I’m thinking they are still gonna push out past the fender but not for sure.

[@MH-go9wn]

So your 35s fit with no trimming ?

[@AdventureBuilt]

I had to trim just a bit off the front fender due to rubbing. Oh the trials and tribulations of 35’s!!!!

[@MH-go9wn]

They require a lot of trimming and bashing in the firewall if you plan on flexing

[@JAM76ER]

What??? I seen my name get cut in half!!

Dude you were this--- close!!!
