    I have a 2011 Tacoma Access cab and wanted to add Fender Flares to change up the look, I just added new tires and rims with new TDR. The Bushwhacker Pocket flairs I just bought show removing the old flairs and reusing the holes in the fenders. I checked to see if they would fit my truck but my Tacoma does not have these factory flairs and when I think about drilling hole in my fenders I get sick to my stomach. I just spent 450 for stuff I can’t use. Any ideas?

    Got it! The instruction that came in the shipping container were so blurry I could not understand them, and made some assumptions, Once I down loaded the PDF from Bushwacker’s web site I understand what mounting holes to use. No need to drill into my fenders.

    I've seen a few with Bushwackers on them, with a lift they look pretty good. Without a lift they may look a bit bulky. Be sure to post pics when you're done.

    I have them on my truck and I like them for looks. The only problem is that the factory mud flaps will not fit them and there are no after market ones made to fit either so mud gets all over the truck if you go off-road and small stones can put dings in the paint.
