- this is a video on how to do it yourself fender rolling on the cheap for tire clearance. Did some research and it came out great. I decided to make a video of the second fender after the success I had with the first one. Please, share, Like and Subscribe
this guy is awesome, the savagery at the end is real!
I read your comment and waited savage alright 🤣
I gave him a like for that one😂😂😂😂
"if you don't think a quarter of an inch is a big deal, just ask your girlfriend, she'll tell ya" lol that made me hit the like button.
Fo real
😂😂😂😂😂
Same for me bruh😂😂💀
Same lol
Wow, a no bullshit and well filmed car tutorial. Very rare. Very helpful.
Never in my life have I subbed within the 1st 15 seconds of a video, I love a fun personality with knowledge and while straight to the point, I'd invite this guy to the bar or party n e day
I watched this because I had to see the 'bat attack' method LOL. I know prices change over time, but a actual roller tool can be had for $37 USD with free postage. Even here in Australia it can be had for about the same. Buy one, and make your money back finding a mate who is game for paying you $10 a wheelwell to roll. Win-win!
If one is really keen to sticking to the bat attack method, I'd do it a bit differently. If you do not allow the tyre to rotate, you end up with two surfaces working against each other (which is why the bat rubs as it did).
1. Raise the chassis/frame of the vehicle, and rest it down on a jackstand. Do *NOT* position the jackstand on any part of the wheel's suspension. You want the wheel to droop down and be able to rotate freely.
2. Position a jack on a suitable part of the wheel's suspension, and use the jack to raise the wheel enough to fit the bat as required.
NOW, when you roll the bat, the tyre will spin as the bat rolls across the metal, and you will not rub your car's paint nor will the bat's finish rub off onto your car. In the end though, I still reckon at this point its just easier to just buy the actual tool suite for the task. I absolutely understand pinching pennies though and have done some wild fly by seat shit myself haha!
What made you feel like commenting a whole essay
@@ijustbeexisting8922 looks like he was explaining a better way to roll with a bat without paint damage
Yeah that way does sound better for sure !!! But damn that was a lot to type !!! 🤣
That line at the end. Was not expecting that
dude you're crazy...loved the whole thing....saved me some $$$
i used to do this on older race cars. i was kind of upset when i bought an eastw*&d fender roller to be a bit more controlled. the controlled fender roller (let's call the eastw$%d one that) works super well for a single layer lip. it just really works well. much easier than the baseball bat. but, if you've got a car that has two layers of sheet metal that come together at the lip and sort of form a VEE shape, the controlled fender roller requires many hours to even get a 5mm extension. (if you're just rolling the lip, it will get you a nice, smooth VEE shape in a few hours.) i wanted an extension (flaring) with this device and watched many videos (mostly on BMWs) where they successfully flared and rolled the fenders. this did not work at all on a w211 merc. the fenders were rolled into (an included angle of around 20 degrees) but would just not move outward. leaning on a lever like a baseball bat as i raised and dropped the car repeatedly did. HOWEVER, the sheet metal on the outside fender showed a peak (inverse of crease?). as you can probably observe, i am not a sheet metal guy. i was told that i could probably, without paint damage, pound that back to smooth.
anyway, i wouldn't do it again. it made a mess of the outside sheet metal with just the baseball bat method. i went over and over again with the fender roller (above the lip) and retrieved some sort of smoothness. it was better; but, if i want it to look good, i'll need a professional to fix it. this method is not recommended for my model (AMG W211 wagon) but it worked super well on my racecar (1999 VW golf) good luck to you!!! and, hey, man, thanks for the video!
Good thing I watched this video, Idk what I would have done without my Redds apple ale!
This guy is a G then end was just too much. 😂👍🏼
nice man thank god my car is still primed so I won't have to worry about paint haha all I got to do is just roll and keep rolling
Stock height , stock wheels, stock bat . Wrecked fenders . Awesome video. crappy drinks bitch beer .
You should put some touch up paint inside where the paint came off it will rust.
Smart man heat that thing up always!
1200 dollars in rims and tires. 20 bucks into fender roller and jacked up paint. I see the savings
ThePigeonmilk only messed up the inside of it.
This video is awesome! I was having a bad night until I saw this vid,😂😂😂👍🏽
If the tire were allowed to rotate, would the bat roll along the inner fender instead of grinding against it?
I can't tell if he did it this way to make us angry, or if he's really just that stupid.
Redds apple is my shiz, I got role my accord fenders for the way to big of wheels I got! Nice video
Not bad! Im ngonna try it. I was quoted 400 or so to roll all four on my 05 wrx.
RyRyin303 that guy woulda ripped you off hard you need to join car groups and find a buddy with one got mine to done for $50 for all four even pulled the fronts a little
buy a $40 fender roller on ebay and a cheap heat gun from your local home depot ...
Hey buddy I wanna ask you something, I have a 06 Subaru Impreza 2.5i wagon but I upgraded my caliper brakes for the wrx two & 4 pistons brakes a few years ago also I got a set of 17 wheels so I was good driving my wagon with my setup of wheels 225/45/17 but two weeks ago I had to change my tires and I decided to go with a different set 225/50/17 everything was good for two weeks and even looks better Subie but today I went for a ride with some friends and now Subie makes a lot of noise I think the wheels are hitting on the rear fenders, so do you think I could fix my problem just rolling my fenders just like you did to your car?
Thats what it sounds like
Sounds like when you drive thru a pot hole with bad shocks like a strong punch
What kind or wheels do you have? They look good.
Will this process work without the reds Apple ale?
This guy is hilarious why would anyone dislike
Amazon has roller for 40$. I’m going that route. But this will help in a pinch 🤏 ha
I pushed my strut housing back 1/4" to fit 235's 😵😵 + 3mm spacers
"Made in China " lol like 65% of a Subarus car parts. Nice video none the less
😂🤣😂🤣😂 your a savage bro. Ask your girlfriend. That is epic. Lolololololol good video.
@whoangersyouHit the 1K.!!!
Im fking up my fenders and tires for not knowing how to do this.. Im thinking of cutting about that 1/4 and putting some fenders flares. They only cost $40.
Can i do that if my fender hit on my rear tire and rubber of tire?
My girlfriend Honda Civic said its not a big deal lol
Just ask your girlfriend! She’ll tell ya!!😁😄😂 Hell yeah bro!! That’s funny 😆
Awsum but cmon reds apple ale lol
I have switched to Michelob Ultra since. Redds too damn expensive and after gaining 20 lbs I lost that extra 1/4 inch I spoke of in the video.
why do you need clearance if you're not lowered??
wider tire installed.
My cuestion is u need pull up of car with a jack ?
Watch till the end for a good chuckle😂
maybe it gets easier bc you are rubbing thin metal against a wood bat
how about if you put a wheel spacer then you lowered the car? the tire is 205 45 16 need to roll the fender?
Tire is 245 40 18 on 9 inch wide wheel.
it means i need to roll my fender if i had a spacer? sorry not an expert here.
darwin andres I have 285 40 18 on my BMW E46 and I got shocked that he had to roll his fenders with that height so that his tires wouldnt scratch. I also dont have spacers on mine! Spacers is one thing you should definetely not have. Its the width of the tire not the wheel.
Drives a subaru and drinks a reds....his husband probably won't like the new mods...
You're right
I need all I can get
You didn't need to do that to that car, plenty of clearance
Jonathan Powell no it was rubbing when I would hit a bump.
You do realize that heat gun was made in china right? not knocking your video, I appreciate it, just pointing out the farse that you "don't like" buying "made in china". thanks for sharing your experience!
whats the offset on those wheels that you need to roll these on 18x9s?
Ver. sa.tile. not sure about the car use, rims were on car. with the wider tire and being on that Rim know if I would hit a good bump it would rub just barely
Great video, than bro
i was dead hahaha 5:35
It really makes a difference....Im told
5:45?
Outperform Garage FACTS!
Another $30 you could just get a fender roller of your own
Is not quite fender rolling, what are you doing is rolling the lip, not the fender, I need to stretch out my fender for proper fitment. in most peoples cases is the fender what needs to be pushed out not lip rolling.
pretty sure you can just rent an actual fender roller for about the same as these products lol
Lmao... .80 bucks would have got you a real fender roller...... You do realize it's 2021 ...
Video was made in 2015 lol
Come on man you got the money for a nice subie. At least spend alittle more to get them rolled legitely 🙁
Nice! You saved $39.... SMH
And made about 700 dollars so far on this video. So now $739. Thanks for watching
@@HeWhoAngersYou best answer ever
1/4 inch man !!! Tell you what.
U get rust soon by doing that bending the metal will crack the paint on the in side lip were u cant paint do too the lip being rolled over bad idea
Paulino Fernandes , painted all the spots 5hat cracked. Also live in Fla. No rust concerns here
He Who Angers You u should use 3m black window uranthane on the in side of lip before u roll it up it will seal the inside paint and weld spots from rust will seal it as hard as a rock
hahahaha good one
If u roll fenders or drink red apple ale stay away from me
why would u do that do a wrx😢
tired of hearing the rub, was driving me nuts
god bless you
You realize you created a weak point in the paint and your metal will rust and/or the paint will continue to chip off on the other side where it is visible. I really hope you don't live somewhere where it snows.
msilva g35 Florida car and painted the lip afterwards
Asked my gf, she wont say.
I would not try this at home
no thanks I'm not using bats
I'm angered 😠
Lol
I don’t think the bank would like it doing that to their car.
Bank dont own that. Even if they did you could not see any difference on the outside. Fooking mint
Look at the paint peeling off hahahaha. Trash. Good luck dealing with the rust in some months
Live in Fla and painted the inside afterwards. So.......
if i was doing this on a 98 civic or something like that i would do it this way but on a fairly new car i would just save to buy a proper hub roller or see if i can rent one from somewea or borrow
