Toyota Tundra Forum

Has anyone out there ever installed fender flairs? I've purchased a set and was wondering if anyone might have some helpful tips? Thanks!

I bought a set of Bushwacker flares from O'Reilly auto parts and painted them to match the truck (black). They were fairly easy to put on and look great. I'd send a pic but, I haven't figured out how to do "that"....

I'd like to see a pic of them as well. I wish I could explain how to do it but I'm probably doing it wrong cause sometimes I have to crop the pic 4 times before it will upload.

I have a set. They came installed when I bought the truck. One thing to keep in mind when installing is not to wrinkle the black gasket that joins the flare to the truck. Here is a pic in my signature.

Thanks for the comments and pics.

I installed the rear flairs without a hitch, they went quickly. The fronts were being a pain, as there are 3 S clips for each unit and a couple of screws/bolts. After about 2 hours of aggravation I gave up on the fronts, I guess I'll call my local Toyota Service center and schedule an appointment to get the fronts installed, it will probably only take then .5 HR to install them since they have done them before. Those darn S clips are a pain with the thin metal in the fender well, hard to line up and get secured.

Go to TRD Toyota/Scion Parts Accessories from Sparks Toyota/Scion and go to the body appearance section--then to the fender flairs. There is a link on the right hand side to the installation instructions.
After I read the "s" hook section a couple of times and played with putting them on the fender it all fell into place.
Good luck!

Tilley thanks fo the tip. I had the instructions and was using them, still had issues I may give it another try before going to the stealer for assistance.
