Bushwacked (flares)

I've had them for a while now but just added pictures to my album of the install. Bushwacker cutout flares on all four corners!

I'd be happy to answer any questions since I have first hand experience.

I just added them to my album. I think you click my name and that can take you there. Not sure if i can or how to post here.

The rear driver's side took forever trying to figure it out. Then once I did, the passenger side flew on.

So I looked and they are NOT in my gallery. Sorry. This shows I still don't know enough about how to use this site. I do have them in an Album. I get to it by my name, statistics, albums, bushwacked. Hope this helps. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
I wish I was closer, I would love to help. Let me know if you need more pictures or tips when your ready. I have more pictures on my computer and could take some more as well. <o></o>
<o></o>
What tire, wheel, lift are you running or are going to run? <o></o>
<o></o>
For those of you who want to bushwack your excursion, you will need the following part numbers from Bushwacker. 20043-front two fenders, 20046-rear two fenders. The rear application is for the LONG bed. If you get part number 20044 for the rear you will have the short bed application WITH the gas door cut out in the plastic fender.

Around by me in the salt belt those things would be falling off from rust in about 5 years.

Thanks. There is very little information on the install of these online anywhere.

Can you take photos of the bottom where the rear doors open? Did you fill in the flair where you cut it?

Sorry for the delay in responding. No I did not fill in the area where I cut it. The small portion where that attaches to the door did pull in after the cut. I solved this by cutting custom spacers around the screw which sandwiched between the door and the flare. I filed them to fit the shape and slowly got the correct distance. I'll take pictures and post them later.

Bump

I'm going to get flares in near future and want the pocket flares... Which won't require cutting metal, but will require cutting the rear flares

Can you post pics of the rear cuts and those spacers you did?

With much sadness I have to report it was sold and I don't have pictures of the spacers. Worst part is we sold it and our Explorer to have cash for a down payment on a house, house fell through day before closing, crashed my motorcycle and wasted the money on medical bills. I miss it everyday.
