Re: If you want Bushwackers and...

Wtf are you talking about? Are you saying that a brush guard interferes with the flares? This 400$ piece of plastic crap is starting to piss me off more and more, each time I think about buying it I hear worse things about it.

Re: If you want Bushwackers and...

I wish someone would come out with fenders that look like the OEM but are just a little wider to give it that aggressive, wide shouldered stance.

The factory brush guard. Sucks because they tell you nothing about clearance issues when ordering.

The brush guard or the flares? I don't think there's much you could do to the flares to still make them look good and work.
