i would love to see a write up for the cut out, been thinking of doing this forever, but not sure i would want to do it myself. maybe the bushwacker directions would be more clear if i had the parts to look at.

What's on your bko now for flares, I can't tell from your avatar what they are?

Be careful with your cutouts, they will crack fairly easy if you rub on a tree or something.My buddy's gottem' on his yota and they are beat up pretty bad.

I am curious if anyone has used the early bronco super flexy flares, looks like they could be made to fit anything.

Flare, Modification; "...i used flares off of a 98 ford explorer sport 2 door 4 door wont work. the fender radius is almost the same. only mods i had to do was where the "V" shape is towards bottom of truck i had to slightly mod the flares by cutting them with a die grinder. the screw holes along the fender lip also matched up nicely. it tooka couple of days of trial fitting but they look nice. and along the top i instaled small bolts so they look the pocket flares made by bushwacker. this was necessary to hold them tightly to the body. it cost me a total of 50.00 to put these on. flares where 30.00 at pull a part auto wrecking..."
