Your truck's fender flares are there for several reasons. For one, they help protect the truck doors and its side body panels from mud and water splashes. They also make the vehicle look more of a rugged, powerful, off-road machine and less of a convenient city cruiser. They also add or, at least, maintain the vehicle's resale value. With these benefits, it is only right that you properly maintain these fender accessories to continue enjoying whatever it is that the flares are yet to offer.
Below are some tips on how to properly maintain and extend the life of your Dodge Ram 2500 fender flares.
Of course, the best way to maintain the good condition of almost all automotive components is to keep them free of filth, dust, mud, and dirt buildup that can promote rust formation. And when cleaning the fender flares, don't just focus on the exposed side. Also pay attention to the underside as damaging elements can build up in there and slowly form into rust. Before you know it, some parts of your precious flares are now being eaten up by rust.
If you are really serious about protecting your Dodge Ram 2500 fender flares from dents, dings, and scratches, you should avoid trips and activities that could just cause damage to such components. Among such are truck racing and even serious off-roading. Since you own a brawny ride, try to avoid parking in a very crowded parking lot. Also try to avoid leaving your ride parked in a place where there are lots of passersby.
Even if your Ram truck isn't running, its fender flares can also get scratched, even in your own garage. If left under direct sunlight, the sun's UV rays can also take their toll on the flare, causing its paint to fade. Too much heat from the sun can also cause the fender flare material to be brittle and prone to cracking. If you want to protect your fender flares from the harmful sun rays, bird droppings, and from other kinds of damage that people and animals can bring to them, use a good-quality car cover.
The Dodge Ram 2500 is a powerful, heavy-duty workhorse that’s capable of negotiating with just about any type of terrain. Do you know that by installing a set of durable Dodge Ram 2500 fender flares, you can make your off-road beast appear even brawnier and more muscular? So if your Ram doesn’t have this add-on yet, you’d better get a set now and be thrilled by the big difference it can bring onto your truck’s appearance.
If you’re doing the installation all by yourself, here are some tips to bear in mind:
Tip #1: Wash the vehicle and make sure the mounting surface is thoroughly clean.
A thorough car wash is a must before performing any enhancement on your truck’s exterior. If you don’t have the time to do the washing and you’re insisting that your Ram is still clean, then at least make sure that the mounting surface is immaculately clean. This is very much important since most flares are secured in place using double-sided foam tape, and the adhesive will surely not adhere well unto a dirty surface. You can clean the area with alcohol wipes or a clean cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol to be sure that even grease will be eliminated.
Tip #2: Test-fit your Dodge Ram 2500 fender flares first.
As with other exterior add-ons, it always pays to test-fit the fender flares before securing them in place. This way, you’ll know if you’ve got the right flares and if your Ram 2500 has the right mounting holes that are aligned with the ones on the flares. You’ll also know if there’s a need for you to drill new mounting holes in your truck. During the test-fitting, you can mark the exact mounting location of the fender flares, so you won’t go wrong during the actual installation.
Tip #3: Exercise caution when using a power drill to make holes.
If there’s a need for you to drill holes and you will be using power drill, be careful enough when using it. You see, this is a power tool and you might get injured if you mishandled it. Make sure that you have experience in using this tool. Otherwise, ask for help from someone who’s more familiar with it.
It would be more cost-efficient to just repalce the damaged one. Fender flares are usually sold individually, which means a replacement for a particular flare can be bought by itself. There isn't really a need to replace all of the other flares if they are still fully functional anyway.
Fender flares can change the overall look and appearance of a truck, giving it a more powerful an aggressive stance. Some Dodge Ram 2500 owners have upgraded their stock tires to bigger, more beefy ones. It prevents mud from splattering across the truck's side, and it also helps protect the wheel wells. Since Dodge Ram 2500 trucks are also designed for off-road driving, fender flares can effectively protect the truck from most harmful elements on a tough terrain. Dirt, mud, and other debris can also destroy the truck's paint job and body lines. Also, fender flares make a truck more aerodynamic because they are designed to prevent wind resistance.
There are two types Dodge Ram 2500 fender flares available in the market today: the custom fit fender flare and the universal fender flare. Universal fender flares are widely available, and it can be customized to suite the truck owner's needs. Street, cut-out, riveted, and OEM are some of the styles that universal fender flare manufacturers offer. These fender flares usually come out primed, ready to be painted, and installed. Custom fit fender flares are specially designed to fit, and follow a truck's specific design. Some truck owners have different design ideas, which is why they prefer customized fender flares for their trucks.
