Oh No Fender Flare!!!

I went off roading tonight and hear this scraping noice, hoped out and realized my front right fender flare (limited) was gone! it had been ripped off the mounts peices of it were still there but the rest was gone! What do I do you guys? anybody know how much they are from the dealer...just for the flare? It looks so lame right now with just 3 flares and having my front bumper sticking out the side! do people w/o flares have a different bumper cause mine sticks out the side without the flare.

You don't wheel your runner?! Whats the point of having it lol. I would rip them off but my bumper looks retarded w/o the flare i don't understand how ppl don't have them, the bumper sticks out past the fender!

it shouldent. do you mean the flare on the bumper? cause that can come off. i de-limited my runner when i got fiberglass fenders. its a labor intensive project, but well worth it depending on the look you want

I don't have any pictures yet, its 1 in the mornin and it just happened an hour ago. I'll get some up tomorrow


Man those holes are horrible! I'd like to see how it turned out with the herc, not that i'm planning to do it but just curious. I like the herculined bumpers but no really the side panels, just my opinion. What made you get the new front fenders?? aren't those for long travel shocks used in trucks that run like baja?

but that is probably due to the herc right? I would like to take off the limited paneling but don't want to go through all that work, oh well i'll prolly just get a new flare from...somewhere.

Not to much damage as loss. I have no idea where the flare actually is, I went back through the trail but no luck, doesn't look like it would help anyways seeing as it broke at the front mount.

And I hadn't even noticed the limited parts on the bumpers, make more sense now!
