Mine are great, material is very strong not some cheap stuff, and fitment was perfect with all the curves exact like on fenders good quality rubber around i install them in hour ( i took the wheels off just to have the better working clearance between wheel and tire ) i got them like 5 months and no complains at all still holds great and no problems at all, maybe you got some universal ones that's why you have to make some shaping to fit right, i just took them out of the box paint them and install on my truck and here it is i think 100% worth every penny, i would buy them again and im not working for Bushwackers lol i really think about it when i bought them its not a cheap stuff ...

Nope, they were specifically for my year, a vannin guy I talked with had the same issues with his, they looked OK I prefer a better fit, the black rubber conforms to make up for gaps. I want something I can smooth over to where it looks factory.

Hey that's pretty sweet. Does your van have rear air? I'd like to see how the headliner and A/C vents were done.

My $800 Van

I got this van for $800. It had a check engine light on and the kid couldn't get a sticker.
He WANTED $1000, cause he had a "bunch of new parts in it". When I asked him what the parts were, he said "you should know -- you sold 'em to me! LOL (I was an Asst Manager at AutoZone at the time)

Turned out out to be a clogged vapor canister a bad purge valve. Got a used one at the junk yard and took 15 minutes to replace.

5.4L w/ E40D 165,000 miles and still runs like a top!

Nice van, I wish I had one like that, opposed to the 15 passenger, but with the factory limo tint, with another layer, it's manageable, these modular engines are difficult to work on, being crammed in there.

Those wheels are SWEEETTT!!! Are those F-series wheels? They kind of look like some I've seen on an F250 but I didn't know if they were stock or not. If not, What are they and where did you find them?

Thanks

They are a very common swap on brotrucks around here, KMC Rockstar HD series.
