Anyone have tips on aftermarket custom dually fenders?

Accessories & Modifications
1

I’ve been looking to upgrade my dually truck’s fenders and I’m particularly interested in aftermarket custom dually fenders. I’m hoping to find some suggestions or recommendations from the community about:

  • Best brands or manufacturers for custom fenders that fit well and look great.
  • Specific models that you all have tried and liked—are there fenders that really stand out in terms of quality and aesthetics?
  • Installation tips or experiences—do I need any special tools or skills to get them on?
  • Where to buy them from that might offer good deals or reliable service.

I’m also curious if anyone has experience with modifying existing fenders instead of buying new ones—what’s involved in that process?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

When choosing aftermarket custom dually fenders, consider the material. Fiberglass offers flexibility, while steel provides durability. Each has its pros and cons depending on your truck’s use.

Great point! Also, make sure the fenders are compatible with your specific truck model. An ill-fitting fender can ruin the look and function.

I went with aluminum fenders for my dually. They’re lightweight and reduce the overall weight of the truck but still look sharp! Just check how they fit with your wheel wells.

Exactly! I have a Chevy, and the fender options can vary a lot between models. Always double-check compatibility.

I’ve seen some fenders that have unique designs. If you want to enhance aesthetics, consider custom paint jobs or decals. It really makes a dually stand out!

Absolutely! A good design can add character, but don’t forget about functionality. Sometimes form can outweigh function!

Yeah, I ran into that with mine. A bit of trimming was necessary, but it was worth the hassle for the overall look.

Just be cautious with cheaper fender options. I’ve seen some that looked great but started cracking after a few months. Quality often wins in the long run!

When installing aftermarket custom dually fenders, start by gathering essential tools: a socket set, screwdrivers, a drill, and a wrench. Disassemble the old fenders first. It can save a lot of hassle later!

Great tips! I’d also recommend double-checking alignment before tightening everything down. It can prevent issues later on!

Make sure to clean the area where the new fenders will attach. Old dirt or rust can affect how well they fit. Additionally, having a buddy helps with the installation!

15

Exactly! Also, watch out for any sharp edges on the new fenders. A little safety gear goes a long way!

16

Remember to pre-drill any holes before attaching the fenders. It’s a simple step that can prevent cracking or breaking the material.

17

Definitely! If you’re not careful, things can go south pretty quickly. Has anyone else had bad experiences?

I’ve encountered issues with fitment before. Sometimes, the aftermarket parts aren’t exact fits. Always check reviews on the brand you’re purchasing!

That’s a great point! Product reviews can save you a lot of headaches down the line. Always research before buying!

What is the best way to seal the edges once installed? I want to prevent rust at all costs. Any specific products you’d recommend?
