I know Johnathan has a ton of pics on his site with before and after pics plus his are painted;Wild Bill also has a site but he's only got a couple pics. I have a set about ready to go on mine and they pretty much resemble the Limited's flares.

Found em. One guy's site is down. The other has tiny pics

X-AWDriver, you have the regular bushwackers right? Do you have the 31508-02 or 31913-11 kit? Are all parts hardware mounted? i.e. no double sided tape?

I'm not sure which kit I have number wise but it's the same as Johnathan's and it is all hardware mounted.

Are these bushwackers? Those front flaps look too good to have be separate?

Nope,those are the older stock SR5 flares. Bushwackers are one piece on the rear doors just like the Limited's.

Those stock ones look pretty damn nice! Why even upgrade

Another Q: do Bushwackers interfere with stock mud flaps? (front and rear)

Mine didn't come with them,it just had the chrome plastic strip over the fender and I think the Wackers look a little better plus offer more tire coverage than the stock version. I had running boards on so I do need front mud flaps.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't seen this earlier, i've been really busy. Ayway, the SR5 flares will not work at all with the Bushwacker's if that's what you are asking. You could probably rig up the Tacoma flares to fit on there like some have with the factory Limited flares, but I'm not sure. I went with the Bushwacker's for more tire coverage, as the 285's like to throw rocks around. if you need the SR5 flares I would check with Ryan (RTDawgs) as he has my old ones (no mudflaps included however). Pm me if any of you guys have any more questions. By the way everybody my name is spelled Jonathan not Johnathan

Those pics are from my friends section on my website. Look for "VINCES SR5", he also has a webpage link.

And the answer to that is no, they do not fit! Damn.

X-AWDriver, did you install yours yet? Seems like each of the rear doors should receive 5 holes each to mount the part that goes on the door Did you do that?

Actually I'm finally gonna do it this Sunday and my friend who's works at a body shop will be helping with the install and he already painted them.

Hopefully I can get a digi and get some pics once their on. I'll post here again Sunday night.

I already put on everything but those parts that go on the doors. Contemplating a liberal amount of double sided tape to drilling 10 holes. It works for weather guards after all, and flares are not any heavier and more aerodynamic

I think my friend said he could do 3 holes which isn't too bad but I'll have to check with him again.

Yah even 2 will work fine, they are very light. But that is probably the worst place to have a hole, water just sits behind flares. Maybe silicone it, but then it turns into a plumbing project
