Removing Laramie fender flares

[chad202]

Can this be done? Are the only holes on the inside the fender?

Nope. There’s clips that go through the fender as well as the screws underneath

Well crap.

Anyone found a work around with these? I'm thinking about removing them and putting a wrap to match the paint around the fender. I think the truck looks way better without them.

You need to replace the front fenders with ones for a Bighorn or Tradesman if you don't want fender flares. The bed, you will probably just have to have welded up and repainted.

How do you remove the oem flares? Just taking out the screws doesn’t do it. I want to install larger Bushwacker flares.

There's white clips on the backside of the flares. You would need to remove the fender liners to get to the clips.

If you remove the fender liners and put a 8mm or 9mm socket on the back of the fender where the clips go in you can take them out without and clips breaking. If you don’t care about the clips just use a trim removal tool and take your time. Pretty easy.

How do you get the flare clips off the fender without breaking them?
