Bushwacker fender flares

So i like the look of these. Says requires modification to factory fenders. what exactly am i cutting? any pics of tacomas running them? especailly black vehicles.

​

 

I've got them and yes you will need to cut 1.5" of sheet metal from your fenders to fut them. I've got pictures in my build.

 

Bushwacker's website has the installation insturctions with pictures. Here is the link to it.

Thanks!

 

So is it possible to mount them to the fender without any cutting?

 

NO they are cut away fender flares they are wider then the opening of your fender. You nee to cut to install them. you will also need to drill holes in the side of the fender for the bolts

This is the instructions http://www.bushwacker.com/Instructions/31919_r8.pdf

 

Well, I think ill just keep mine, dont really care to much about cutting and drilling on my fenders like that, especially to pay about 450$ for them

 

I did those without any cutting...

 

Also, I only paid $180 for the full set from StreetSideAuto.com

 

Are those bushwhacker cut outs?

 

Yeah... they are the Bushwacker 31919-02 Fender Flares Cut-Out 4 Piece Tire Coverage 3 in.

 

How did you get them on right without cutting they are 2" wider in the rear then the fender. Unless you squished them in I don't see how you can get them on "right" without cutting.

 

I guess some things just work out! lol I actually got the idea to test it out first without cutting from a buddy that did the same to his Dodge... and since it worked, I went with it! I guess it's not "right" because I didn't do what the instructions told me... but it worked and it looks great IMO!

 

So you did'nt cut the truck or the flares at all?

 

Nope... they sat flush with everything and just drilled and bolted them on.

 

How did you get them for $180, it's showing $420 on the site..

 

Yeah thats a deal... and cool, might look into it. sweet ride btw. how much lift and size tires you running? is it possible to mount them without drilling? I know a guy with a dodge and his mounts from like up in the fender. no drilling or anything.

 

Looks like they've gone up in price... I dono.

Thanks, man! I've got 3" body and 6" suspension rolling 35x12.50R15s! I doubt that it's possible to do without drilling... not for our trucks anyway.

 

you dont have to drill the pocket style bushwackers they use adhesives, overall idk if i woulda had to take a blow torch to the fenders, the look is absolutly amazing, best place to get'em is http://www.autoanything.com/fender-flares/61A1975A0A0.aspx
