I was hopping to see a pic if anyone had any, of the rear with bushwacker flares.

Thanks

Anything on our rear tire wells will going to be custom. We have the Brazilian bed from the Isuzu. Check the mod section for HenryJ's write up on the Bushwhackers.

I knew that they would have to have modifications. I really couldn't see on Henry's writeup.

Hopefully he will chime in later and provide some insight. The bushwhacker flare mod was performed before I joined the forum in '04. I do know that he had a lot of mud/silt retention that he found when he removed them.

I did not have cut-out fender flares, as the don't make those for a second gen S-series.

I had Extend-a-fender flares

Is there anyway to trim the fenders and run Extend-a-fender fender flares? Also What is the largest tire I can run w/ a 2" and fender flares. I know 31's fit, but what about 32's? I'd most likely be running 9.5 width on stock wheels.

I dont mind modding fender flares or cutting away stuff.

Thanks
Nick

The extend-a-fender flares are already a stretch to meet our stock rear opening. They reduce the already small wheel well.

Right now there are no production flares for larger tires or openings.

I think 31x10.5 is the biggest you can fit with a 2" BL.

Check out the Mystery lift if you want to go up to 33". Follow some that have cut and gone flareless if that is an option for you.
