LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!

Yes, you have to drill holes. My flares have actually cracked around a few of the screws, but only a little. But the cracks haven't gotten worse over the last few years.

How well do the flares keep everything from flinging up on your truck(doors and hood)? My truck is a mess after driving in a bit of mud. Literally all over the truck. I need to stop it a bit and I think those larger flares like yours would be perfect. And I like the look of them without the rear mud flap..

[charles06]

Thanks for all the compliments. And thanks for posting the pictures! I can never figure out how to do that.

The flares work better than stock, obviously, but with the higher offset wheels, wider tires, and the lift kit, you still get stuff thrown up on the side.

[2010_5thgen]

So I'm screwed either way? Does it still get on your hood? There's just no stopping the mess I guess. But they did help a lot......right? I just need to restrict the mud a bit. I'm probably not gonna stop it but hopefully more than I am now.

I've gotta ask..what's going on with your cab lights?

[charles06]

They do help, but how much will depend on wheel offset, tire width, etc.

I assume you're talking about the rear two cab lights being red? They were all smoked at one point, then I backed into my garage trying to inch in to unload the bed, cracked one, and put the red ones back on. I wasn't going to buy a whole kit of smoked for two lenses. I pulled the bulbs out years ago, anyhow...

Well I'm running toyo 38x13.5 on a 20x10 with a 4.5" backspacing

I must have not experienced the flinging you're talking about..course mine has been nasty for awhile and the only time I remember it flinging stuff everywhere was when I deliberately took it mudding. But as far as around town driving I haven't really noticed it on mine..same as always. Try the E&G flares though! It would look great with your rig.

I'm assuming you bought the Recon lights? Mine leaked when I first put them in, fitment was terrible, had to silicone the living mess out of them because it was fixin to drown my nav dripping in through the dome light in the center ;( Recon did a sh*tty job with the cab lights as far as fitment..

[charles06]

I can't remember the brand. I got them about 4 years ago. But, yeah, mine leaked, too, so I had them sealed.
