In this video I go over the installation of the Bushwacker brand fender flares. The ones I chose to buy are the pocket style. The instructions are fairly straight forward and easy to follow, and I highlight some slight confusion that I had while installing these and following the instructions.

Excellent job on the video. Thank you for doing it. The manufacturer instructions aren't as clear as I would have liked so this was very helpful. I bought the flares for my wife's FJ for Christmas and this is going to be a great help with me getting them on before Christmas gets here.

@spartanlukas 7 лет назад

Thanks dude for this video. I just bought the BW fender flares and you video will help me big time when it's time to put mine on. I really appreciate your assistance!!

Love your videos. Wanted to say thanks for doing them. They have helped me make alot of modifications on my 2008 FJ. Still have a ways to go but have a clear direction thanks to you. God bless.

Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊 I have many more coming

@appstate1996 Год назад

This is a really good video and you describe what you are about to do well. I've never done anything like this before and It would have helped "me" if you explained it as you did it instead of speeding through how to remove parts and get the new fender to fit properly. Great video though! God Bless you too brother.

@eddiegray1979 4 года назад

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. I did learn something on the back ones, work from the bumper to the front when installing

@j0shll0yd 6 лет назад

Awesome video, thank you. My wife wanted to get the cheap eBay ones for her FJ, and of course I would be installing them. I'm glad I watched this first, Seems like the Bushwacker ones are worth the extra money.

@LegitRaceCraft 6 лет назад

+Josh Lloyd awesome. It was just a little bit of research that swayed me away from the cheaper ones. Someone commented a while back about how they had bought cheap ones and had the problem I described, so I think they bought bushwackers

@DYNABIKE1 6 лет назад

Hey - One more tip for Your coworker. When trying to attach that crazy edge rubber strip. I sat down with painters tape and pressed the strip in place and taped it about every 2 inches. After its all on just put it to the fender, install bolts, and razor blade the tape off the visible side !! If You are very careful some of the tape pieces will just pull out. It saved Hours of frustration after the idea popped up . Good luck to You guys and Thanks again.

@LegitRaceCraft 6 лет назад

+DYNABIKE1 nice

@DYNABIKE1 6 лет назад

My neighbor that assisted Me also said We should use some rubbing alcohol to wipe down the plastic parts that that rubber trim touches especially the top edge. It really helped that stuff stick to one We had not taped yet. Try that first and it may save some real time.

I bought the cheap ones from Amazon and they went right on very easy no headaches some people are not mechanically inclined so should not try to do this at home but the Amazon ones are just as good and cheaper

I just finished a grueling install of the Wackers on My 2014 FJ. Thanks to You I had some good clues how to do it. Toyota had changed a few things on the body works so the removal and install were Not exactly as Yours was nor the instructions say. Anyway it's all done. Cool - Thanks.

@LegitRaceCraft 6 лет назад

+DYNABIKE1 that's good to know. What's different? My coworker has a 2014 trail teams edition and he said he'll be doing his soon

@DYNABIKE1 6 лет назад

Some of the parts on Yours that were bolted are now clips and more clips are used in the wheel wells. I think it was the front where there are two big holes with clips and the Bushwackers are Not drilled for all the holes in the FJ itself. When You pull the rear panel @ the bumper I found one clip and one bold where those two holes in the OEM flare attaches. The new flares on the rear cover way more then just following the metal down where You showed cutting it. If You made a mistake and cut too far forward at that point it would be no problem because the flare covers almost up to the read door seam. Does this help ? More questions ?

@LegitRaceCraft 6 лет назад

+DYNABIKE1 interesting, I wonder if bushwacker will make a kit specifically for the 2010 to 2014 models

@DYNABIKE1 6 лет назад

I actually called them @ Bushwacker to talk about it and the man said We need to look into that and change the instructions. My thoughts were sure You should but in the business $$ lead world who knows if it will happen.

@lawrenz1544 7 лет назад

Hey, thanks for the great video and step-by-step. Unfortunately, I didn't see this until AFTER installing mine. The other unfortunate part is that I went w/ the off-brand ones off Amazon (just like you recommended not to). I can 100% guarantee that off-brand non-Bushwhacker fender flares will not fit properly. The main problem areas I have encountered were at the front end of the front fenders and the front ends of the back fenders. I had to use a heat gun to bend the plastic and a Dremel to shave off a little plastic so that it would fit into place. Also, forget about the weather stripping on these knock-off brands. They don't stick at all to the fender and I had to use some contact cement just to get them to stay for installation. Overall, after my frustration and modifying - the fenders are finally installed and only w/ 2 gaps that I'm going to have to live with. BTW, the knock-off brands are using Bushwhacker's instructions. They don't even bother trying to hide the fact they are ripping them off Bushwhacker.

@Theking-in1in 5 лет назад

Man I just bought some from Amazon too I hope they will fit right on

Thanks man love the videos. Sorry it was a comment on such an old video. How many miles do you suggest getting your carbs synced and valves adjusted? Thanks in advance I just bought the same bike year and all and was just trying to get some educated advice. Thanks again!

@LegitRaceCraft 7 лет назад

valve sync I think is supposed to be checked about every 10k miles I think.. I'm not exactly sure. the carb cleaning varies depending on how long the bike sits, not exactly the mileage.

@PacificPressPubAssn 6 лет назад

Can you tell how much farther they stick out then the factory flares? I know they say 1.5" beyond the body, I'm wanting to compare them to the original flares since I don't know what spot on the body they're comparing to.

@LegitRaceCraft 6 лет назад

+Pacific Press they stick out 1.5 inches from the fender. I asked the same question since I was planning to buy wheels at the same time as the flares so they could be as wide as the flares. Let me know if you have more questions.

@KendallPhillips89 6 лет назад

I just want to cut down on the areas she holds mud so bad. If you go off road you know. Every fender holds alot but the back is especially bad, I was just going to chop it so it would drain but it'll be visible so I haven't yet. Do these bushwackers help with that?

@GHOST-hp2ji 7 лет назад

Just run into your channel nice video but need to show your job and product before and after that will make it 100% well done.....

@glennmikes1726 7 лет назад

How do you like the Trail Master Wheels? Easy to clean? Also if you hold a level off the edge of the new fender flares and measure how far the tires stick out from the well. Do they go past the flares? .5" in 1" in ? Thinking about getting the same rims and tires for mine. Curious for your review :)

@LegitRaceCraft 7 лет назад

They don't go out past the new flares. The documentation on the bushwacker flares said the new flares stick out 1.5 inches from the body. The rear wheels are 1/2 inch inside the flare, and the front wheels are an inch inside the flare. They don't stick out beyond the flare and they don't look like they are tucked in too far with them being only an inch inside on the front.

@LegitRaceCraft 7 лет назад

Oh, and I haven't had to clean the trailmaster wheels yet. I haven't been offroading with them on the FJ yet since they've only been on a few weeks, so I haven't even had to take a hose to them yet. I do love the look of them though. And for cleaning I have one of those wheel brushes with the spinning tip that spins based on water pressure, so it is easy to clean most types of wheels quickly.

@Davfon23 3 года назад

Thanks for the great video. Question: how much they stick out comparing to the oem? I ask in order to fetermine the ideal wheel offset to run with bush wackers. Thank you!

@LegitRaceCraft 3 года назад

Mine front flares stick out about 4 inches from the body and the rears about 3 inches, I'm not sure how much that is compared to the factory ones though

@Davfon23 3 года назад

@@LegitRaceCraft Thanks a lot for your response. With that info I can have a good idea since our fj has the oem flares.

@jimo7593 3 года назад

I bought flares before I bought my tires n rims, thinking the tires will be outside the fender to a point the flares would cover them. Well, put the tires on and they are all of maybe 2 inches out. So I'm thinking of selling the flares. They are still in box, everything included. If anyone is interested in buying such and want a good deal, hit me up.
