Wheel Flares for 35" Tires...Where??

One thing i would really like are Wheel Flares for those of use running 35's.

Mud and water go right up the side of the truck and if i drive to another state i will probably get a ticket......

Anyways--does anybody know of some big wheel flares? I dont really like the Glass fenders......

The ones on the Icelandic ice trucks would be slick--but they said they wouldnt sell them........

So what says you?

huh??

I had a big wheel once...pretty sure it didn't have any flares on it...


Do you mean like and extension to your fender to cover up wider tires as to not piss off the law?

I have never seen them for a third gen. The biggest is for 1.5" which is not much.

Sweet handlebar tassles. I've been thinking of getting some bushwackers too. Do you know if they bolt-on and if so do they use the factory Limited or SR5 holes? (the Limited's holes are on the side of the body and the SR5's holes are underneath in the wheel well)

Im kinda new here.. so I hope the pics work out, im running the bushwacker cut out flares, they have 2.5-3" tire coverage and they can be mounted in about 5 min per flare.
I literally JUST put mine on tonight, they are mounted with self tapping screw covered with black "button" caps, and can be riveted to the under lip of the wheel well.
If you have the rusties like my 89 has, you can trim the body and the flares cover quite a few inches of missing fender... sheeesh that sounds terrible, but it works. Now all I need to do it ditch the 10.5's

Oh and btw... this is how much fender im missing under the flare, the front is worse :S and its covered. But if you dont want small screw holes in your fender these arent the flares you would want. Goodluck

I havent seen them for a 3rd gen 4runner--i need 3-4" flares.

So 89frunner--you are saying that you got some 2.5-3" bushwacker flares? I wonder what the difference in Arches is/are

I also wonder if i cant just measure the opening and have BW look up something in that size. I dont care about drilling holes and whatever so i can bolt them up.......
