As a part of my tire size change project I wanted to add fender flares to my Toyota FJ Cruiser. I went to Bushwacker to help with this part of the project.

Bushwacker has 2 models of flares available for the FJ Cruiser. The Pocket Style Flares and the Extend-A-Fender models.

I chose to go with the Extend-A-Fender model. I like to clean look of the flares. I have had these sitting in the basement for the last month waiting for a chance to get them installed and finally found the time. The basic installation takes only a few hours, however, with a Snorkel the installation is complicated with the front right flare needing to be cut to fit around the snorkel.

I took a very slow “cut and check” approach to getting the flare to fit around the snorkel which took me a few hours to accomplish. I am very pleased with the results and like the look of the clean install.

The Extend-A-Fender provides the following advantages.

• Eliminates the mud catch areas of the stock flare.
• Adds additional tire clearance.
• Extends the fender to prevent mud splatter from larger tires.

So far I am please with the look and look forward to giving the flares some off highway testing.
