Bushwacker flares vs SR5 flares!

[toy-runner]

I've been looking into this and can't really tell the difference between the two just by pictures. Can anybody tell me the difference between the two including any mounting difficulties. I know the SR5 have 2 types of flares, I'm talking about the bigger of the two. I have a 01 SR5, been looking all over for the SR5 flares but no luck. Any recommendations?

My 2000 sport has the bigger flares. They are mounted to the steel fender by dozens of square fasteners. You would have to drill?! Square holes?!

Okay, I knew that I would have to drill, but how do they differ in looks? I'd like to see them side by side, you know what I mean?

Cant speak on the sr5 flares but my limited flares are a tad bigger than the bushwacker flares on the blue one. I owned the blue one some years ago before we gave it to our nephew for college. The bushwacker flares were very easy to install and all the mounting holes lined right up. 45min task at best.

Good luck.

sport and limited flares are same size I believe

Limited flares have body cladding on the doors-but the flare size itself is identical to a Sport flare. I believe that is 2" flare coverage.

Sr5 flares are the black plastic, and significantly less coverage sticking out from the body. I believe the figure is 3/4"

Bushwackers would be sized between the Sport/Limiteds and the SR5s

I have the Extend a Fender Bushwackers- I believe the figure is 1.5" but a check of their website would verify.Rivets and screws are used.

If you get the Bushwackers let 1fast e install em for you! The back door pieces alone are a bit tricky. There is a mounting plate that fastens to the door, then the door piece of the flare mounts to the plate. I had mine professionally done and it was quite a bit more than his time stated. But obviously it turned out great.

Good visual comparison and thanks for sharing the picture in post 4
