Thanks 4C, that works out well since I've already cut some of the front and know how to do it without buggering up the sheet metal and I happen to own a rivet gun. This will be easier than I thought.


Keep fingers crossed that the deal for the flares goes through without a hitch!

 

That link I posted........to the bushwacker site. Has a link to download the installation instructions

 

I just used black crazy carpets for mine, cheap and effective and looked decent. I just posted a pic of it in the post a pic thread

Junkers, where about are you moving up here?

 

Fairchild AFB I hope, chasing a job up there (and if it's as good as it sounds) my lady can stop working and we'll have time to go out and about for camping and things. Not sure if I want to deal with the snow and such but we'll make do.

edit: more off topic but where in the heck did you get that signature line? Please tell me that wasn't an actual post!

 

here's what I did https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f123...p-48-a-213907/

 

I looked at that thread when doing my search and considered it. If this deal with the BW's goes through though you'll understand why I decided to go with them.

 

just to confirm ..

we @ toyotafiberglass.com specalize in 4Runners .. we have 3 different options of fiberglass 1/4rs and fenders ..

stock
custom , with 3" flares
hi-clearance with 3" flares


I guess you didnt look at our stuff ?

I really don't like those BW cutout flares....ugh...

 

No, I looked at your site. I just can't afford any of it.

 

I bought something called "long johns"
Its plastic like garden edgeing, but is formed with a mud flap.
Come in packs of 2 for like $40 cdn.
Etleast when i lean these into a tree it wont hurt the wallet too bad..
and they keep the fuzz off my back..
Now just need to cut the mudflap off and make them removeable for the trail. Wing nuts and bolts.

 

I can attest to bushwacker cut-out style fit amazingly.
As for it taking 6 hours to install? I'd sit there and watch them install it. It literally takes 15 minutes to install each flare.
If you've ever peeled double sided tape and can work a screwdriver, you can install these.
All you do is peel the backing off the seal tape, install the tape, place the flare up to the body, screw in the self-tapping screws and pop on the plastic covers of the screw head.
The cut-out style gives you 3" of coverage. To check how much coverage you need, park somewhere on flat and level ground, pull out a measuring tape and a straight 2x4, put the 2x4 up against the tire, and measure from the fender to 2x4.
Two thumbs way up for bushwacker flares.

 

@ slacker I did see your fenders at Toyotafiberglass beautyfull work I will definitely be order some In the near future I have the same problem 3 inches in the rear and 4 in the back

 

LOL! I know alot of people dont like the b/w cut outs, but i think I had less body metal than rust.. so it was a choice of $$$ body panels, or flares to cover what metal I didnt have plus around here you need flares covering the part of your tire past the body.
Here's some pics just for reference - bought them at truckaddons.com (cheapest place I could find anything bushwacker brand)
And finally.. the reason I have the flares on...
oh and it took me about 6 min per flare to put on, with the rubber gasket, and they fit perfectly.
