Bushwacker Extended Fenders

Want to put some extended fenders on my 2014, 4-door, long bed, 4X4 and I have the following:

• 16" TRD Beadlock rims
• Tires BFG LT265/70R16

My tires don't stick out a lot but enough to know that debris is going to hit the side of the truck so I want some extended fenders. I am considering the Bushwacker pocket flares but I read the following from a buyer on Amazon:


My review is specific to the Bushwacker pocket flare for the 05-11+ 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma - part number

$550 31920-02 | Fits 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma w/ 6.1' Bed

31920-02. You may have read that the Bushwacker flares provide 1.75" of additional tire coverage. The trouble is - they make that measurement after removing the stock OEM factory flare that's on all the Tacoma 4x4s and Prerunners. So at best, you get about half-an-inch more tire coverage than stock; hardly worth the trouble. Certainly my 285/70R17 tires on 17x8 wheels with 4.5" backspacing still stick out past the new bushwacker flares I put on today. If you're looking for a fender flare because you need better tire coverage for your oversize tires - may need to keep looking.

Is what he said accurate (realize it is a 2005 vs my 2014 but not sure it is that different)?

Should I go with the Bushwackers based on my tire or are there some alternate brands someone would recommend?

 

the front fenders are all the same for 2005-2014. your best bet is to measure and see, if half an inch out from your current flares is enough do it, if not then keep looking
