Brrrrr....

You guys already have A LOT of snow! Is it true that WINTER is a 6 month long season where you are at????

By the way, the flares look GOOD!!

I went with the ATS flares...




FLARES should comes STOCK on these trucks!! Toyota and Chevy trucks come with them from the factory!!!

It's actually not that cold, by my standards it +4c,39f. Winter usually hits about Nov1 and lasts until early april. We have already had -21c, -6f. I bought them at my local truck accessories shop, they are the bushwacker pocket flares,$650CDN, Painted and 3M mylar coating on the bottom $360 cdn. They were a snap to install,removing the cummins emblems was a real pain, searched the topic prior, and jmo but wd 40 wouldn't touch the adhesive. And just becareful drilling the holes for the bolts, I marked up a couple spots with the bit , and I thought the body shop would touch them up before painting, but they didn't. The whole reason I bought them was to keep the truck clean, with the bigger tires, I couldn't believe how quickly it got dirty.

Looks great. That's what I want to do when I get the money. What kind of grill is that?

BTW... Here's your after picture.

Sam that's a good lookin ride, I wrestled with what type of flare to go with, yours look cool too. What size tire you running? They rub?

Long horn, They are 315 55 r20, but those 20 inch motometals come with a lot of offset, with no lift they wouldn't fit , I still get a little rubbin. I tried 35 mickey thompson's and they looked sweet but I would've needed another 2 inch of lift and then I wouldn't fit in my garage...up here when it's -40c ...you want a garage.

I have MT 315/70/17 and yes I do get some rubbing. I think I am going to have to removed a little of the wheel liner to prevent the rubbing. I love my megacab!
