Wonderin if anyone has taken off the SR5's and replaced them with Bushwackers. Do the BW's cover all the old wear marks left from the SR5's.

Before and after pics would be awesome!

curious why. but if you dont want your SR5 ones I might be able to take them off your hands. BW cost a bit, but i want a set of something more than the small chrome ones I have now.

sorry that dont help your question though

I need a change and am tired of the SR5 flares. Just thought the BW's would look better for me.

I'll keep you in mind if I decide to do it.

did this ever happen? if so POST PICS!!!

Anyone else have pics of the BW's installed on SR5?

Bushwacker Fender Flares Project

Found some. Not sure i'm sold on the BWs. They don't look any different from the Limited's.

No, I never did it. Still thinkin about it, just gotta comitt.

I took SR5 fender flares off and put on some wider BW flares. Covers the square holes nicely.

I have the bushwacker flares on my truck. I have pictures in my albums.

Painted Bushwackers replacing my original SR5 chrome flares. They'll cover up any marks left by the SR5 ones for sure:




I used to have chrome bumpers as well but replaced them with paintable black primered aftermarket ones from Rockauto following a fender bender.

Bushwackers come with front bumper endcaps for both 96-98 and 99-02; however, my 99-02 ones had to be dremmelled pretty good to align nicely or else it would have had an ugly gap. This was the hardest part. Most guys end up just leaving them off I think for this reason. By far, the flares were my favorite upgrades and yes it does just look like a Limited/Sport Edition, but a little narrower. Also, I had to dremmel my step's black endcaps because they are in the way of the Bushwackers. I chose to keep the step because I have a lot of people getting in and out and find it easier to get in with it...

You can get a great deal on Bushwackers from Streetsideauto.com using a coupon code. Mine came out to $337 shipped plus additional paint of course.

How well have the bushwacker flares held up?

BW on my old sr5. Perfect install to the factory holes. I didnt have the sr5 flares but if I remember correctly the are bigger than the stock flares.

Good luck

is there any other cheaper options for getting fender flares?

It's Bushwackers, OEM or junkyard.

do you know which is the cheaper OEM or Bushwacker?

Junkyard or BushWacker is the way to go. New oem would need too costly. I went with bushwacker and body matched paint
