What would you like in aftermarket flares for 05+?

I really like the look of the Bushwackers, the reason I chose the JFF is for the additional coverage. I will not be painting my set to match, I will be coating them with spray on bed liner once they are fit, it goes better with how my truck looks.

 

I received my JFF a few days ago. Rear flares went on slick. They lined up well with the fenders. They don't come with clip holders or any way to attach them to the existing holes in the fenders. I thought they might cause problems not being attached at the top of the flares, I was wrong.

They fit nice and snug to the fenders and feel solid. I put a marine sealant chaulking along the top of the flares to keep water and dirt from running down between the flares and fender and to attach the top of the flares to the fender.

I'm in the process of installing the front flares. They seem to need a little more fine tuning to get them to fit snug to the fenders. One side on and the other is being more of a pain.

The ones that go on the bumpers will need some more figuring out to get them to align with the main front flares and hug snug to the bumpers.

Anyone who would have any suggestions on how to install, please help.

 

Any updates on the fenders for the LB Access Cab?

 

I just received them earlier this week, I will be out in Vegas over the weekend and will start working on the mounting next week. I may have a little time tomorrow to start messing with them just to kind of clamp them in place and snap some pictures but will have more details on fitment beginning of next week.

 

any update on the 4 pieces-only?

And any info on a GROUP BUY?

 

I started getting the flares mounted up, no modifications needed for the front. They are just temporary mounted for right now until I get a full set of hardware. These are really easy to work with, just have to take your time with them.

 

I will be working on the rears next week as I am going out of town this weekend. I started with the fronts since I knew they should go on fine, the rears are going to need some persuasion if not some modifications. I will keep you updated as they go on.

 

I can go out and snap some pictures of how they fit. I believe they should be fine and not need to be trimmed for 33's, for 35's that is going to be a different story I believe. This is based off of a 3" lift.

 

looking good!

 

Looks like no help for 35s here...would really love a flare set I could stuff 35s under...may have to pull a Relentless/All.On.Black.

 

well considering that the bedside can get in the way along with all sorts of wheel well body mount contact points, aftermarket flares just aint gonna cut it

 

Looks pretty good, how is it differ from the stock fender?

 

Cutting it is gonna cut it. They could make aftermarket flares for 35s, just have to include instructions on modifying the truck for it to work. Market probably isn't big enough.

When the time comes, don't worry, there won't be any half-ass clearancing.

 

so when is there going to b a longbox option?

 

Some progress pictures. It looks like the SB flares are going to work on the long box, just takes a little time for alignment and some persuasion for fitment. In these pictures the front of the rear flares are not yet fully mounted so you can see the holes for the mounting of the stock flares. I should have them mounted up fully this evening, I just wanted to give a quick update. Sorry for the delays, I have had a ton of crap on my plate lately.

 

Looks great with your bumpers! Can we get a pic from4/5 feet from the rear showing the rear tire coverage?

 

Jhodge83, BlndSqurrel, Cotruckin... :

Thanks for the posted pics. Can you help with the following;

1. How do you and how hard was it to remove your stock flares?

2. How exactly do the JFF flares go on/attach? What do we need to buy, marine epoxy, more stock clips, screws...? Is it a one man job?

3. What are the 6 parts to the 6 part set. I have an ARB front and CBI Bushmaster high clearance on the back... do I only need 4 pieces?

4. Jamie: I have a CBI Bushmaster high clearance rear bumper similar to yours (based off of your posted pics) and cut my rear quarter panels off horizontal even with the stock taillight housing. Any issues with the flares fitting given that a good 12" of quarter panel is not there to mount to? Can you take a few pics of this area?

Thanks for your help.
