    Kinda custom. They sent me the wrong bumper. I ordered full hoops, but I got center only. So Tyler sent me just the hoops, (and some free goodies) and my buddy welded them on at a little more aggressive looking angle. Got pics on the 2nd or 3rd page.

    :edit: Found it @BraskaTaco page 8 https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-bullaculla-3-link-sas-build-pic-heavy.293408/page-8

    Finally got all the hardware to bolt the bushwackers to my fenders. I haven't cut the front fenders yet since it makes it easier to line up the flare with the fenders intact. Holes are drilled and I'm just test fitting, but it bolts up nicely.

    Marking up holes.

    Bolted on.

    Black oxide stainless steel screws and washers :cool:

    Nylon nut acting as a spacer. Rubber washers squeezing on the fender to make sure it doesn't rattle or slide around.
    IMG_2772.jpg IMG_2773.jpg
    So here's the order: 1" black s/s socket cap screw, black s/s washer, fender flare, nylon nut, s/s washer, rubber washer, fender, rubber washer, s/s washer, s/s locknut. The locknut and last washer are taken from the bushwacker kit. Everything else is from McMaster.
    IMG_2774.jpg
    I'll still need rubber flares to cover my front tires since they stick out 6" past the fender, but the bushwackers cover the rear tire pretty well.

    Looks good..:thumbsup: Thanks for the intel on the spacer/washers...:cool: I'll be needing to acquire those shortly. Honestly, I think Bushwhacker should sell theirs with that spacer combination as an option...

    Do you feel a need to run rear wheel spacers to match the front's mad stance nation stance, yo?

    Nope! Uneccesary doing it just for looks. Making the rear wider will only make it harder to make tight turns around shit. If I get a 9.5" diamond axle for the rear and its wider, then that's fine. But I'm not gonna buy spacers to make it wider just for the sake of looks :D

    That's what I thought. And uneccesary wear on wheel bearings too.

    Not much action going on... I got some rubber trim to finish the edge of the bushwackers.
