I dropped the 94 off at the auto body shop to get a paint job on it today. ;Sweet
After some thorough consideration I decided to keep my 285/75s on this pickup even though they protrude out a bit more up front than I'd prefer. Fender flares are DEFINETELY in order to help avoid rocks getting thrown from the tires on my fresh paint.

Can you guys post pics of your pickups w/ Fender Flares and list what brand they are? I'm trying to decide if it will look stupid to have just the front flares on it since the backs don't stick out or if would look good. Suggestions?

I went the cheap route on my 99 (for now till I can get some Bushwacker Pocket styles) and bought these mudflaps/half fender flares from FORD! They were actually not badly priced and I did notice a difference in the way my truck doesnt get as muddy. Of course it looks like crap in the winter time as you can see haha

ya I'm doing a remodel on a 91 250 xlt and will be either doing some sheet metal repair or finding fender flairs. I need to find something quick as I'm pretty much ready for paint. So far all I've found are the bushwhackers mentioned and Beast got it right, they look like crap. Once I finally found a picture of them for a 91 I wasn't curious anymore why Bushwhacker doesen't make a picture available

those fronts look great
did you make them or did you buy them ?

if I don't find some descent looking rear fender flairs to cover this rot with I might just go with a dually package, not ready to give up yet and I've yet to ask Beasty about how he did his thing but all in all its been several days of looking and no go

all I want is something that goes about two inches up and maybe an inch out in black all the way around

I seem to remember diamond plate steppers with fenders on a truck I drove for the ranch a long time ago but I cant find anyone who sells them

looks like I'm driving primer till I can find the right trim package

I found a sun visor
4rth one down $80

but I'm still looking for a cattle guard, running boards and fender trim

my chances of finding one of these that fits a 91 F250 XLT Lariat is slim to none

very slim id say but thats an easy one to remake
find some running boards off a 99 bs f150 and some smaller buschwaker flares
then graft together and youll have what you want

how would you go about making them
say a mold of something and some carbon fiber later

foam mold and a vacuum bag?

anyway you slice it rigging up a mold and making my own if very time consuming

Hey HMO Guy
