everyone seems to be raving about them but who actually has them?
What size tires are you running?
Lets see some pictures fellas...
I am thinking about getting a set instead of using the calmini flares I already got but I don't want to look silly with my little 31x10.5 tires on 4.5" spoa.

I was going to have a set till my engine pooped.....

i have 31x10.5 but it depends on your backspacing of your rims....

they are 6inch wider flares than stock... so if your tires hang out 3 inches beyond stock flares. than they should look great...

I think that for 31x10.50's, these flares will be too big for your truck, they won't look right. Seriously, the Bushwacker flares stick WAY out from the body. About 7", guessing off the top of my head. They look best with 33+ inch tires.

hey roydw
Did you trim the rear of your rear flares?
On the TT site it shows the flairs going down into the area that used to be filled by the stock bumper side wings in the rear, but yours don't...

I guess I'll be getting the TT flares and putting the calmini ones on the auction block. They look good on the 31x10.5s
I have been debating tween the 31x10.5 courser mts and the 31x11.5 Courser OTDs...I suppose it'll be the 11.5s now :^)
Antone got some cheep spacerz?

No, I did not trim either the front or the rear. I did remove the plastic end caps from the rear bumper. I don't have a close-up photo but I think they are mounted in the same location as shown on the TT website (and in the photos included with the detailed instructions Brent sends with the package).

I went out for some fun Sunday and ended up on a trail that was really only wide enough for an ATV. Well, after several miles of this (with sagebrush then gamble oak and finally pinon pine on both sides) I stopped to inspect the damage. Other than some minor Arizona pin stripping the fenders came through just fine. Indeed, I am inclined to think if I really mash them into some rocks it is the sheet metal that will suffer, not the fender flares <g>.

Look to the left of the garage. Those are Joshua trees which are really unusual - they are actually more closely related to the lily than a tree. OTOH, calling them a tree is accurate as far as I'm concerned - they grow some 20 to 30 feet tall, live several hundred years and can mess up a car (or even worse any unfortunate biker that hits their nasty thorns). They are found in the Southwest deserts at an elevation of ~3000 ft. Now I'll bet your sorry you ever brought up the subject of our so-called trees <BG>.
