I have the RDJ textured flares.

Bushwacker genuine flares. I was disappointed to find out the stainless screws are fake and just for show. You don't actually use them to bolt the flare to the fender. Oh and if you ever want to screw someone over with bushwacker flares pull they're rubber lip seal out! It was a pain to install that!

 

So this happens. Ordered me a set of Bushwackers on Amazon under the, used like new, category for $200.
Was expecting a black matt textured finish but received an pretty much color match to my black Taco. Box looked pretty worn, no instructions and there was a 07/10/15 sticker on the box. Wondering if it is a lost overstock box and Bushwackers changed their product at one point? Do I need to paint it now since it seems unfinished?

 

you should also opt for the black hardware kit if you are replacing the fake bolts

Oh absolutely, I will do the bolt through version as well and won't keep the dummy bolts. I contacted Bushwackers and send some pictures to see if they have an idea.

 

I really like how the black looks on white.

 

Requires drilling into your fenders and some extra hardware. Another TW member came up with this a while back.

 

Yup, saw that and like it much better than the dummy bolts. Just got word from Bushwackers and they confirmed that I scored a color match flare kit for just $200...very excited.

 

Did you trim your wheel well and fender flares to make room for bigger tires?

 

My current tires were rubbing under compression. And yes, I will be going to larger tires after cab mount relocation.

 

Are those bushwackers?

 

One little crack in the front right

 

Yes. Mine are trimmed and have black hardware.

 

Came for the fenders now I need to know what that front bumper is.

 

It's a Pelfreybilt aluminum coated in Line-X. Took two years to find. Bay Area Metal Fabrication makes an updated version. Thanks man. I get a lot of compliments on it.

 

Thanks for the link. Ive been looking for the right front bumper and this is it!

 

just had mine painted, need to install my spc uca's & max out the caster to avoid having to cut them to shit.
