06-UP Fender Flares "HELP NEEDED"
Hi guys I bought brand new ford oem fender flares, I picked them up pretty cheap, thanks to a inside hook up :) I have searched high and low and I cant get a straight answer as to putting these darn things on. I have a ranger that never came with any fender flares so their are no holes available to mount them, I know I have to drill some, but for the Love of Life, Help me out here, anyone have a homed template? thanks

lol are you joking? i explained exactly how I installed mine and have had no problems.
literally used self tappers through the inner lip into the inner fender lip. and they have held just fine.
if you're confused about the part where the stock ones install in holes that are right on the fender, nobody uses those when installing them on a truck without those holes. so unless you wanna drill 100 holes in the sides of your truck... lol

that write-up is factory style, but fords idea of factory installing flares is for rehtards. drilling holes in your fenders opens up places for paint to chip and rust to start so if you dont have flares its much nicer to tape them on to the body like other manufactures. then if you ever want to do something crazy like sell your $$$ flares you wont have a body full of holes and nastyness.

[QUOTE=Tys 4x4 FTW
self tappers on the inner lip
and the fender tape that toyota uses on its trucks to help seal it all up
works like a charm.[/QUOTE]
This was what I was aging and it seems Ty is saying don't do it, If so than perfect, i WILL DO THIS.
Thanks for telling me, because I was about to go out in a few days and start drilling, man you saved me my new paint job, i WOULD HAVE BEEN PISSED.
