Tacomaholic yo what type and year is that tacoma?
Hey Wilson! Mine's a 2014 TRD Offroad 4.0 Automatic.
hahaha...i bought some of those tabs 2 months ago now but havent put them in yet... but this vid popped out of my notification so now I have the knowledge how to do it... Legit Tacomaholic content! way to go sir!
The EXACT video that I was looking for. Really helpful. Body shop wanted to charge $671 to fix a scratch on my 2022 4Runner fender flare. Because of this video I can take the flare of with confidence and have my buddy respray it. Thanks a great deal for this vid.
These tabs aren't meant to be reused in most cases, they could've been damaged or broken when flare was removed or reinstalled when you had your wrap installed. They're relatively inexpensive so it's best to use new ones whenever you reinstall flares. If not for piece of mind ultimately. Good video Sir..👍👍
Willow references two days in a row? You win the internet today.
Excellent timing. I'm going raptor line my flares!
Excellent subject matter, I had the same issue, your the best Tacomaholic!
THANK YOU!! Just what I needed!
Good video the flair job is a pain, I usually put first the tabs on flair as manual says, because tabs are different and comes with large tip that it is for alignment the flair into the metal fender, and you are lucky because usually de plastic fender tab holder breaks off, and sometimes you have to replace all plastic flair.
Bro! Those taillights are awesome!!
It would be awesome to see your truck on the factory color again 😎
Sometimes I do miss the black ... until I remember all of those scratches. 😀
@@Tacomaholic yeah you got a good point there
Thanks for the help
Secretly waiting for you to drop that video where you upgrade your suspension. Given your caliber as a person, I'll just wait until your current suspension is due for an upgrade.
Lol oh my suspension is due for an upgrade NOW! Building up the funds to get what I really want.
Oh, that's exciting! I hopped on your build page, but saw no sight of what you're potentially getting next = suspension content soon!
@@timcasallo1373 I've got it all planned out but you know I gotta be all secretive.
Great video and looks pretty easy to do🛠...I’m sure the Stealership would charge you a bundle of 💵💰💵💰
Great channel.
Fan-tab-ulous I am missing a few tabs on mine. As usually timely video or maybe it's the fact that I have a 2014 TRD with 57,500 miles on it and I love zipping around trails with it. Sound familiar 🤔.
What if I like how the truck looks better without side fenders but I want to get rid of the holes it leaves? Hand saw it off?
Siempre miro los videos que traen subtitulo en español son poco los canales así buena información
Great video...as you can see by my pic, my stock flares have been replaced with some beefier to keep the tires covered.
Should I paint my TRD Sport color matched radiant red flares black?
Personal preference. I like the black fender flares look.
What's with all the Willow movie clips lately. That is a classic. You have me wanting to watch it now.
Lol I watched it the other day.
Does the rubber stripping between the flare and body at the top of flare come off attached to the flare and go back on easy? Thanks for the video Tacomaholic
The rubber stripping was firmly attached to my flares and didn't seem loose at all.
I wanna take mine off of my 2019 trd off rd. Also because i live in Vermont rd salt gets stuck in there. And i want them gone so no rust so what do i do. Like if there is going to be holes like
What's the link to those flares? I've been looking around for my 2005 double cab.
These are just the factory fender flares.
Tacomaholic , thanks. Any recommendations for after market flares? There's a lot of sites and I'm new to this so I don't have a lot of historical knowledge.
@@michaelarmas5445 Sort of depends on your personal preference. Bushwackers are popular ( amzn.to/2IG9wVu ) but for just a bit more you could get replacement wide fiberglass fenders instead.
What is that black thing that you had on the fender from the front passenger side???
Snorkel.
Whats crazy is on the 3rd gen tacomas you can not remove the thin inner wheel well mud flaps until the outside trim is removed first being there are flat tabs that go into the edge of the lip of fender that hold the inner mud flap on which the outside trim edge covers up so the outside trim must be removed first.
Good stuff thanks
LOL, I have a 93 truck. I plan to buy a kit for the fender flares.....
Very informative video! How and what do you use on the fender flares to keep it that color and prevent the faded plastic look?
Thanks man! My fender flares are wrapped in a matte black vinyl. Had them wrapped for a few years now and still look great.
@@Tacomaholic Anytime man I love your channel! I need to get one of your mugs! So it looks like the vinyl wrap held up. I will look into wrapping mine. In your personal opinion, do you think the wrap will hold up on the plastic bumper inserts for the top of the stock bumper? im also thinking about doing my black plastic door handles. I also really like the color scheme for the front of your truck. Some of your older videos from when you didn't have your off-road bumper inspired some ideas. Thinking about painting the bumper to match the grey on the rest of the truck and wrap the flares in black vinyl.
@@JL250X Thanks man! Have you scanned through the items on my store on Teespring? teespring.com/stores/tacomaholic Vinyl wrap can last for awhile as long as it's installed correctly and you are smart with it.
@@Tacomaholic Thaknks for the response! ill give your store a looksie. Great, ill have to look for some places that vinyl wrap near me.
Can you please tell me where I can get a FLAT tailgate cover for my 2007 Taco? I have the oem that has ridges
Thanks
Hey buddy! Here's the vid I did on that tailgate piece and there's info about it in the video description too: th-cam.com/video/HW--APcneuQ/w-d-xo.html
Does the plastic guard under the fender well fall off if you take the fender flares off
No the fender flares just attach to the sheet metal of the panel.
I like to keep the fender liner. Do you you have a video on removing the liner to access the tab from the inside? Also, how do you like the wrap as supposed to painting? How much did it cost? You have a video on the before & after the wrap? Thanks!!
I don't have a vid for removing the liner but I go over the wrap price here: th-cam.com/video/rAsYY3WQ2VA/w-d-xo.html If you plan offroading a wrap is a better option since the paint will just continue to get scratched offroad.
Now you will styling and profiling. Whoooooo
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO I loved that bleedin movie!!!!
One of my favs!
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time Brian says "full replacement"
Another phrase I repeat too often is "you can see here" 😀
Hey there when I bought my 2015 Tacoma the previous owner took off the front 2 fender flares. He kept the oem fender flares so they’ve been sitting in my garage since I bought the truck. Besides the plastic snaps, do you know what size screws I will need to reinstall the flares? From your video it looks like there’s 4 screws for each side
I don't know the size off the top of my head but you should be able to get the part numbers from a Toyota dealership.
How did you get that smooth surface on the tailgate? Mountain Hatch or homemade? MH is too flippin expensive.
It's from Mobtown Offroad: mobtownoffroad.com/product/2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-tailgate-reinforcement-plate/
Other observation is that you don't have any trouble with the flex plastic trim when that thing detach you need to order a new one.
Do the gen2s not have the double sided tape at the top of the fenders? The gen3s do but I'm wondering if it's necessary.
None of that tape on the 2nd Gens.
@@Tacomaholic Gotcha, thanks for the quick reply!
What’s the black lining behind the flares.
That's the original paint beneath the flares.
I have a bent behind the rear tire flare, any ideas the best way to fix this
Is the plastic flare or the actual metal of the fender bent?
Were any of the tabs on the flare broken? I removed my flares and about half of the tabs that hold those blue or orange clips are broken off.
Yeah a few of mine had snapped which was why I was replacing the clips. My fender flares were still held on securely ... but having a few broken tabs caused it to rattle just a bit.
is it necessary to use both colors? they look the same...
Been awhile since I've used these but I thought one of them was slightly larger than the other.
Whoever wrapped your truck broke the tabs
35s!!!😁
To remove the liner does the fender have to come out first?
The inner plastic fender liner can be removed while leaving the fender on once you remove all of the tabs/screws where the liner attaches.
Where did you get the replacement fender flares?
These are factory flares.
I'm currently having an issue where I did buy the fender flare clips specifically for my '05 Tacoma which I only needed one orange and when I tried to replace it, and push the fender with the new orange clip it's not accepting it. Anyway I can remediate this issue without removing the fender flare?
Have you tried rotating the new orange clip both ways while pushing it in the slot? I had a few that were stubborn like that but they eventually pressed it tightly.
@@Tacomaholic Much appreciated Tacomaholic! I'll work on that and discovered another fault on my way back home for vacation. So it appears that when I do a complete stop and press the accelerator it jerks forward ubruptly and then goes back to normal. This happened 5 times within a span of two weeks whilst I'm on vacation here. It never happened before my long trip from SoCal to NorCal and it just so happens to arise. Any ideas or experiences that occurred for you that I can fix the solution?
@@Jpineda97 I'm not sure on that one. How many miles on your trans fluid?
@@Tacomaholic I'll get back to you on how it is, I just changed my transmission fluid and it was deep dark red and I don't think it has been changed for quite some time now, could have been the issue (crossing my fingers) 😅. Aside from that Thank you!
That's 4 screw's total. That's what I got too.
Back flares?
Same process.
Did it sound like a thump thump thump?
Just a slight plastic tapping sound.
You talk more then a secretary!
Cant say trd without the u
My dislexisia made me think your name was taco ma alcohol
I win
Less talk, more work!
Get Bushwhackers.
Flares are overrated. I expected you to have fiberglass by now lmfao
Oh believe me I would love some fiberglass fenders ... problem is that I also want/need a snorkel and making the two play well together is a challenge.
@@Tacomaholic I'm sure a man with your intellect will figure it out. That is, once you run out of ideas. Great video as always. Were you an officer in the military?
@@stryker4240 I just want it to look clean where the snorkel passes through the fender. No I wasn't in the military but my dad was for a long time so I've been around it my whole life.
