Yeah south Texas here but the point of flares is to protect paint. Not cut right through it lol. Guess the only solution is clear film where the fender and body meets. Thing is, what film? 

I plan on using some black silicone to hold them against the body. I've read about others using a similar method, and they say it works really 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.

Have you done any of these flares with mud flaps as well?

I have not. I have put the mud flaps on. But not the flares and flaps. Not that I think it would be a problem. It uses the 13mm under it and two self tapping screws on the inside of the well.

Have a pair of EGR flares paint matched Summit White on the way for my crew cab short box.

Also have gator back mud flaps coming for them that will have a 1.5 off set.

Plan on it looking pretty aggressive.

Once here and on, will post photos.

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.

I know this is a while back, but I'm 90% sure the issue with those who gave a bad review is that they ordered the set for the 'standard' box instead of ordering the 'short' box which would have the cutout. The set I ordered (thru warehouse deals, like 30% off!) had all those same reviews but the top of the listing stated they were only for standard box. Tyger may not make the short box version, but I would imagine they do, and would then have the gas cap cutout.

According to the photos on Amazon, it does have the gas cap cutout.

I plan on ordering some after I get my tires and wheels taken care of.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
