I tore off a rear fender and the fender pants and trashed both. Never occurred to me that I'd have to have the pants to install new fenders.

Guess I figured fenders might come with them for some reason.

Any reason why I couldnt just take the other 3 pants out, or should I buy one new one for the rear fender?


Going to be installing Bushwacker Flat Fenders.

 

You dont need the rear with the bushwackers, but for a clean install, grab a can of bedliner to paint the wheel well black.

You dont really need the pants for the front either, but it would keep some mud out of the engine area. I used the front, but not the rear with the bushwackers...

FRONT WITH LINERS

REAR WITHOUT LINERS

REAR PAINTED

 

how tough is it to use bedliner? I'm horrible with paint lol

 

Bedliner is very easy...just use slow ..movements about 8-12" away. Do multiple coats to get even coverage, dont try to get it all black in the first coat. It dries fast too.

 

I would just wear jeans while doing it, no need for special pants.

 

I used the fender pants and it really helps keep that "from the factory" look but as stated above you could do it without them as long as you protected the inner wheel well with bedliner. I highly recommend using the front two. Otherwise you would be throwing a ton of road crap into your engine bay.

 

^^^BEDLINER KING^^^^here folks!!!! lol!

it is easy i did my grille and i used one can,,2 coats, and was dry in less than 2 hrs!

 

I have always liked the look without the rear liners.
