    Curious if any of you have used well nuts to solid mount your bushwacker flares to the fender? I’m trying to find someone who has a little more experience with it before dropping all the money in well nuts, stainless steel bolts etc.

    For those of you that are wondering why I’m asking this... bushwcker flares are pocket style where the bolts re vanity bolts and don’t actually pull them right against the body of the fender. With cutting for my front bumper and soon to be cutting my rear I wanted to get a jumpstart on bolting these to the body but not have to go the old nut, bolt, washer and soccer route as some have done.

    ive actually already spoke with him and he used washer, bolt and nuts which ideally isn't a bad idea for his application since he cut more. i just want that extra pull against the body so the fender flares dont have that loose gap and with the HC rear bumper thats going to take away alot of the current mounting spots.
