    "You did a lot of nice stuff with that one..." - quite understated, AJ probably boosted AEV sales single handedly with that build

      I'm with You there! I've got a 2021 3500 HO with the Carli Dominator Suspension I'm looking for a beefy fender flares, the AEV I talked to back east lead me to believe the only one was for the 40s and said it wouldn't look good with my 37s. so I just called the number he listed to check on there bumper and find out what my options are for 16000 lbs winches are. But I got some Mexican Gal that threw Me on hold for 5 min only to find out that it was some chicken fast food joint.

    Don’t know if it’s like this or not still but if you really want an AEV built truck doesn’t it have to be built by them to have badges? If not you can buy the parts to make the truck but it won’t say AEV all over right? Where the speedometer is and what not… manner detail but might matter when it comes to you selling it.

    No one ever addresses or goes into detail how the front fenders are finished off...after the cutting and trimming to accommodate the new flares and 40" tires.
    For those of us in Northern climates, those flares are catch points for salt and grit. Its important that there's no bare metal and that the flares are tight to the fender/vehicle.
    I'm very curious about the steps or measures taken by AEV to protect these vehicles after the modifications are done.

    • @FOTORNR
      @FOTORNR  3 роки тому +5

      That's a great question. I think you're talking about how the metal is finished off, under the plastic? I've taken the liner off before, and it looks pretty good. Not sure if they treat the raw metal where its cut, but would be a great question for their customer service/tech team.

    • @aevdave
      @aevdave 2 роки тому +4

      Take a look at the instructions, there is a rust preventative applied during construction. I've personally removed the flares after several years of mag chloride humid conditions here in Montana/Idaho with no sign of corrosion.
