Great Video. You accomplished the GOAL of making your TRUCK LOOKS BETTER; and you did it for under$100.00 **
For all the Dipsticks who are saying you should completely fix the rust are just flat out MISSING THE POINT. Sure you could grind, patch, sand, prime, paint, etc...
There are plenty of videos of people fixing by traditional body work.
That's NOT what this video is about.
Maybe they could go find videos of a guy dropping his truck off at the body shop. And then a week later going back to pick it up and writing a check $3,000.00
Or even better; go watch a guy drive to a car dealer and buying a new/newer truck.
** I'm sure half the idiots who made dumb comments spent at least $100 on lap dances in the past month.
🤣 haha right??? THANK YOU! Funny thing is, it's been 5 years now and the truck actually looks much better than I expected. Sure beat the HOURS I spent grinding rust off my last pickup!
Wow it has rusted past the flares yet? I just put flares on my 16 Silverado yesterday. It was starting to bubble a little and couldn’t bare seeing it. But didn’t want to drop big bucks on it. How long you think I have until I’ll see the rust? Lol
That’s what I’m trying to do it’s a 93 gmc Z71 thanks for that video good job
i will be cleanining up the rust spots on my stepdads truck and adding fender flares next week. thanks for the vid bro. from maine usa
Oh ya just put fender flares on!...the rust can get even worse from the inside out, but just a heads ups. I strongly recommend a patch job before fender flares.
Agreed, render flares are the worst thing to do for a truck, I recommend just remove the rusted metal, add new one, sand, paint, clear coat, wax. AND ALWAYS WAX THE BODY, it will prevent rust bug time.

Hahaha
Not everyone is a body guy
And I don’t care how you prep it
The brine up here will eat it up
Mud guards or not
New pickups with cheap pressed body parts that you can dent with your knuckle are going for $70,000 and up
I have 2-f250, 1-F-350 and a 2500 5.7 hemi for my construction co,
There all shit
Only pretty boy rides that see more wax and garage time than saw dust or lime from the mortar get to look purdy
Everywhere I see overpriced rides with no war wounds so Joe yuppy can pick up a new grill and a bag of groceries
Used 8’ beds are impossible to find just quad cab
drive in movie trucks
So that’s what they keep in stock
2004 nissan titan I did this cut out rust. Had to use the over size that had the fake pop rivet had to use self tap screws
Ya I've got to do my dodge Ben. But I'm going with the pocket flares. Good job man
Thanks Ian! Yeah I think it's certainly worth the time and money. Let me know how yours turn out!
SWANKY CAT Ya for sure I'm just concerned about the rust to. It's not that bad yet so debating weather to try and cut it out or not. It's a 05 cummins bad years for dodge. I'll let you know what I do.
Ahh yeah, mine has been driving me nuts even though it's covered up. I'm afraid to start cutting though, not sure how much I'll have to remove lol.
Where do I get these? I don't see where to get this kind?
Just don’t forget to eventually fix the rust. Or one night going to work it will come flying off in the middle of a snow storm and scare the begevous out of you lol. Looks good.
Lmao yes I suppose that is true! That happened to a friend of mine but it was the fairing on a sport bike and somehow he caught it. That was exciting to watch! Haha. Thanks!
I have a 2012 chevy that is just now showing signs of that fender rust. I'm lucky I guess. You still happy with your fender flare choice. Thinking of going with the same brand that fits my year of chevy.
Yep, they held up great so far. The rust is just starting to bubble the paint above them now which I knew would happen. I have had to drill a few new holes since there's no longer metal at the top but either way they still make it look soooo much better than it would have otherwise.
wow, look brand new!!
Thank you!
If you first cut off the worst rusted parts then seal with a rust treatment; then apply the flares you can get a few more miles out of this repair..
Def covered up that rust! looks a lot better!
Thanks Ron! Yeah a little plastic goes a long way! ha ha.
Looking awesome great fix probly last for years. not so temporary if you ask me and the price is right also :) was that price for all 4 ?
Thanks MR Ridiculous! Yeah I suppose your right. I should clean up the rust and paint it up to keep it hidden as long as possible but after that it should be good for as long as I usually keep trucks haha. Yep $79.99 for all four, shipped to my door!
What brand and part are these? I have that truck
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.
I've seen trucks with both. Might need to look over a few options to make sure they will work. Might possibly also have to find some longer fasteners and need to trim things here or there, but I'm sure it can be done.
They cause rust😂 our Ram has rust on the back bc of the factory ST trim so I have to bondo it one day
Got these on my truck. Unfortunately I live in Iowa so even if you own a brand new truck it's fucked harder than Anastasia Steele in 50 Shades of Grey after two God damn years. But thankful for these to cover it up.
Lmao I don't even know what to say.
🤣😭
hello MR.Swanky cat how would i go about getting some of that kool swanky cat merchandise? i tried the link below but no can do please help . your truck is looking marvelous.c-ya peace out jay
Hi Jay! I'm not sure what's up with the link but I've been meaning to update my T spring store for a while now. When I get it done ill put out a video about it. Thanks for the interest and thanks for watching! Take care!
Spray undercoat in the rusty areas first then put em on
Looks like ones I recently brought $59 a piece. Little bit more expensive straight from shop
Where do I get the ones like this? The ones online are outside only.
Do they offer any for ford, or is it kinda just for Chevy? I'm looking for a way to put fenders in without doing to much screwing around. PS: kinda a ways away yet, but will you be doing more snowmovlogs this winter? Catch ya later, derek
Hey Derek, I'd assume they sell something similar for Ford's on amazon as well. Idk how the install process would look if you don't have the holes in the box already but it should explain it in the listing. Yep! I'll be doing more snowmovlogs as soon as possible!
Got anything for a tailgate thats starting to rust :)
Hmmm... have you tried duct tape? Haha.
SWANKY CAT Um...no? Haha
My fenders are way beyond that.
What if you have mud flaps?
I've owned trucks that came with both already installed. I'm not sure but I'd assume you could find some that are made to work with fender flares. Not so sure you could make the stock ones work though. Depends were they fasten to the truck.
LOL what if your rust is soooo bad a fender flare wont cover it? I know sad isnt it? but I acquired this 04 Dakota and it's rusted through about an inch above the fender flares lol and I am poor so cant afford a new "used" bed
unlucky
fix the rust alright! Visual only
On a Quiet night I hear Chevrolet trucks Rusting
Price went up a bit in 4 yrs lol ✌
Every GM truck looks like that.
as you said its too late to save it so hide it lol did you plan to change it in the futur or not
Exactly! Once the rust creeps up above the flares I'll try cleaning it up and painting it. Depending on how that goes I might look for a new box.
This isn’t bad but the fender flare slap on with the 2007-2013 Chevys look horrible because there just so bulky and cheesy the oem style is the way to go when doing this
Good old if you can't see it, it's not there.
Precisely! I am however left wondering how long it'll take the rust to creep above the flares though haha.
More like they start at 300 bucks for my truck
I just bought red rock fenders for 180 for my truck.
Doesn’t rust just get worse over time
I FiXeD My RuSt, HaNdY MaN.
Video title should be hide you’re rust
Hide (your) rust not you're
Put some motor oil in the rust spots every year will make it stop rusting
Makes the rust 10x's worse, eventually rusting it's way up to the top edge of the bed, my father bought these covers to hide his rust and 5 months later the rust and air pockets grew 10x's larger, they build up water behind these covers and eventually the whole wheel well will be gone I'm talking about 5-7 inches above these covers!!! Not good, better off just doing it yourself or have somebody you know fiberglass over...
not if you cut away the rust and use CRC on it before installation
Sell that Rusty Chevrolet
Wtf is that title. This is how to install flare vid not fix rust 👎
Yeah it's a joke, hence the "?!?!"
Hilarious. You might as well scrub the fenders with salt water bc fender flares hold moisture and accelerate any rust under them
People should be bitching about why the wheel wells rust out in the first place. Completely unacceptable quality from GM.
