OEDRO Metal Flares installed

[Bronccat]

BL Sasquatch, Zone lift / level (2 front, 1 rear)

I wanted these, I don't know why - but I'm digging them. $169 worth try. Fit and finish was fine.

No one will steal them I guess and they won't crack - but if they take a real hit, sheetmetal will suffer. But that kind of hit - plastic ones will only serve as an early warning device.

I didn't like that they screw on and the nut plate had to be held (above fender liners) so if you wanted to remove, PITA.

I added 3M adhesive pads behind the plates, we'll see if that works long term. Rear was mostly affixed via factory threaded holes.

Look much better than oem and for $169...but I still see myself using the quick removal feature of oem for wheeling tight rock garden, etc...someday...

Thanks!

Yes, giving up the quick removal was the tough part for sure.

Damnit, love the meat

That's where I started (OEM) and figured I'd give these a shot for the price.

I just bought these and just as others have said, the instructions suck pretty hard.

These "rocker light brackets", are those ONLY for mounting wheel well lights and are optional or do they somehow operate in mounting the flares?

Also, are these brackets supposed to go up above the liner or below the liner closer towards the ground? In their photos it looks like they removed the liner altogether which doesn't seem smart.

 

[Bronccat]

I didn't use the light brackets and I did remove the liners. But I had to anyway since I was doing the lift. Some of the nut plates will go in without removing, some won't.

Removing inners isn't hard but wheels / tires need to come off. I think 5.5mm (or maybe 7) socket and Phillips. The Phillips rivets are a feel thing - apply no pressure at all - or they will spin out.

Got it, thank you!
