I put a set of Rough Country fender flares on my truck, but return them since the tires were not flush to the fender flares and looked odd. Good quality, easy to install, did not like the stance. May be if I used spacers it will look better. Did not tried.

Still looks good. Wheel fitment was my biggest pet peeve when I put them on at first as well.

I thought I had posted in this. I must not have. At the dealership I work at we use the Tyger flares and I like them because they don't add very much to the inside of the fender well which allows you to put a bigger tire on without the fear of ripping the flare off. If you buy a rough country set you are buying the name. It's just like a Yeti cooler vrs a K2 cooler. Same exact cooler... different name. If you want to say you have a rough country set... then get those. But if you want to save money and have the same quality and look. Get the Tyger's. You can also buy them on Amazon and if you have prime get them in two days with the free shipping.

Those look great and the price point is pretty solid. The reviews on amazon seem pretty hit and miss so that's a little concerning but overall at less than half the price of bushwacker I guess you can't expect the exact same thing.

 

Curious if you've installed them on the shorter bed. Reviews are claiming that the gas cap isn't cut out.

I have not put them on a single cab yet. Normally it's ether extended or crew.

awesome, honestly they all look the same to me,  i know some fender flares have the metal nuts and some do not, but other than that, as long as it doesn't go on or over the bumper, they all look very much the same to me. The differences in crew cab vs double cab I notice, but maybe im not seeing a difference other than material or fit?

 

either way, i'm looking at the rough country set but if i can save a few bucks and still get the same quality then i'll go for it, they'll be paint matched to tungsten grey anyways.

 

please post pics when done :)

To clarify, shorter bed, not shorter cab. I've got the 5'8" bed and from the sound of it I'll have to trim where the gas cap is myself.

Love your truck man. Really makes me regret not going grey, especially after realizing how hard this black is to take care of.

I appreciate that. I've had black and regretted it each time I had to clean it. This color doesn't show dirt much but, it took a while for me to warm up to it.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
