Default Bushwacker info

I bought some bushwackers pocket style and just letting anyone know that wants any there is drilling required and takes about a hour to install. the pocket style has the bolts in the side and you have to drill them with a 5/16 drill bit then put the bolts in and then drill holes under them to use self taping screws that drill into the under lip of the fender and they use a 3m gasket or tape however you would describe it to seal around the fender you really need someone to help you to get a good seal tho to push on it while your under it screwing them in. all the hardware is included except for the drill bit and the instructions are pretty good. i still think this is a great product and really saves me a paint job with my tires sticking out so far and throwing rocks 90mph. I was just posting this to help anybody who thought about buying them and give a heads up. illl try to get some pics later the ones i took are to big to post it says.

The "bolts" on the sides of the fenders are not real bolts, just simulated bolts. The only thing you may have to drill is for the screws in the fender lips. I'd call Bushwacker for more info, I dont think anyone on this fourm has those fenders.

Yes, they are real bolts. Just non-functional.
