    Fender Flares w/ Mud Flaps

    Would like to add flares to reduce splash along the sides of the truck especially after the weekly wash. Nothing flashy, just functional. Is there anything out there that works with mud flaps? Pictures?

    Cooler hose replacement.

    Looks like I need to replace these hoses. A couple questions... Do I need this tool to disconnect from the cooler? Can I buy a complete hose assy somewhere? Or do the special couplings come separate? And how much fluid will I lose from the cooler? Thanks.
