I got a set of bushwackers cut out flares for my 4 door 98'. However, I don't have the dog leg, since I got them used. Do I absolutely need them for the rear installation?
Thanks guys

nope. i never used mine.

Sweet. Thanks dude.

Also, this is kind of a dumb question, but when drilling into sheet metal, what's the best way to keep the bit from "walking" around? Like when instead of staying in the spot you start, it drifts off taking the paint off. Is it best just to apply enough pressure to the drill?

a center punch is your friend.

Is that the tool that has a handle that looks like a screwdriver but the end comes to a sharp point?

Yeah or a fancy one like this is nice

young33

Ahhh, ok great. Just put that where you want a hole and drive it in with a hammer?

The automatic ones are nice, you don't need a hammer. Just push the housing in towards the panel, it loads up tension, and then you keep pushing till it "pops" and punches.

I bought mine used too and never had the dog leg that the instructions talk about. I had plans to paint the small portion of body that is hidden by the rear flare when the door is closed with bed liner or something to make it look a little better but never got around to it.

i still have my brand new dog legs around somewhere. thought they were pointless so i didn't put them on.
