I really like my TRX Flares, they look great but not as overpowering as the bushwackers.

Textured. The body shop that installed them said they would eventually peel if painted so left them black and they grew on me in black and am glad now that I didn't paint them.

I'm looking at a set of bushwackers for my truck, will add an extra 1.5" to either side of the truck.

And since my new rims will bring the tires out 1" more than stock, I think it will be a good match.

Yeah the bushwackers are more rounded out from the fender and look heavier. The TRX sit flatter on the fender.

Biker should go with the BW's for the look he is after!

The bushwackers come in two different styles as well, the clean look like above, or a pocket style look.


Like this, (Can't seem to find a dakota pic out there with those)
and as you can see the BW do pop out more from the truck.
