Unlikely, frankly I'd just run them as black. They'll get pinstriped up anyways.
Bushwacker made fenders for the 5th gen!!

Yep, no big deal, we knew that was to be expected.

You can most likely put them on a 10-13 with some cutting if you have an aftermarket front bumper. I'm going to order a set next week and cut them up as required.

If it's Oregon I'm kinda guessing those are prototype fenders or an employee of bushwackers personal ride.
Hopefully these a rip for sale sometime this week or next. Hope to get them befor Christmas.

I'm going to wait. Want to get the new rear end before tackling that project. Sticking with my gut to have the painted to match the body, pin striping or not.

I see the Bushwacker link is no longer working. I emailed them today and this is what I got:
Hi Keith
We hope to have these released by the first of the year, once released an email blast will go out as well as being posted on the website
Sincerely,
Customer Care
Bushwacker, Inc.
For the life of me I cannot understand how anything can take this long. They have much newer models already out the door.

You'll have to wait for retailers to get them. So likely a few more weeks before they ship.

hmmmm....I dunno...I'm trying to get excited about this but I can't. Not my style (but if you like them on your truck that's cool, I'm not trying to bash anyone's style). I think the fenders look fine stock.
Maybe when a few trucks get built up with them I'll change my mind...but for now I'm not terribly interested.

To me they seem like a great add on, but I feel that they are way oversized for the body of the 4Runner. If they would have some smaller profile flares that cover the flat end of the fenders just outside of the wheel well, I would be all over them. These things remind me of every Chevrolet 1500 or F-150 with oversized flares and a rebel flag with a CB antenna.
I think I'll just dip mine for now.

So looking at these on Bushwacker's site, it says they are not compatible with aftermarket bumpers. Yet, the guys at Expedition Overland fit prototype versions to their 4Runners with an aftermarket bumper. So either Bushwacker made those flares specifically to work with the aftermarket rear bumper, or they just trimmed them to fit back there. Anyone know for sure?
Also, looking at the instructions for installation, the stainless bolts in the pockets appear to be just for show, which personally, I think is stupid. I don't understand why they didn't just make a smooth version.
