Anyone install the Bushwacker fender flares ?

[TheDeadlySpaceman]

Is the "Ford" version the same as Bushwacker? In other words, does it have the Bushwacker symbol on the end cap of the flares?

The ones in my photo were the option on the 22 Badlands for “unpaintable” fender flares straight from Ford. They are Bushwacker and have Bushwacker logos/branding. I don’t know exactly what you mean by the “end cap of the flares”, but the logos on mine are discreetly tucked inside the wheel well. I never even noticed them until I was checking my new tires for rub and poked my head into the well.

Perfect! This is the logo on line. Is that what you have?

Yup! That’s it exactly.

If you mean the Bushwackers that are an option, I got them.

edit: and I like them.

I love the way these look! Do you know of an aftermarket source that is similar. Mine came with mud flaps but truthfully not on the top of my list.

I installed them about a month ago, and really like them. RoughCountry also sells fender flares, but I have no experience with them. They may be the same for all I know.

Are these the Rough Country flares or OEM? I'm looking for some aftermarket ones with similar looks to these ... like the Bushwhackers option.

Ford actually sells the Bushwacker brand. I think they are more stout than the RC. I love mine!

These are the Bushwackers. I bought them direct rather than through Ford.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays,

I was wondering if anyone has installed the Bushwacker fender flares, with the hardware, on their bronco sport?

I was looking into getting them and wanted to see how others liked them and how they looked on one.

I had the dealer install the set available through Ford. I'm 99% sure they are Bushwhacker. Installed using supplied hardware, c-clips. They suck, One side fell off at carwash twice. Ford dealer says he can't get new clips separately. I bought some at AutoZone. Eventually I will add stainless bolts all around. Sealing drill holes carefully should prevent rust.

Due to the loose fit on the rear doors, I remove them for the winter. They collect salt and sand like crazy.

As far as I know you can order them directly from Bushwacker. They are an “aftermarket” company, Ford just offers their stuff.

Sadly I can tell you that these particular flares are incompatible with the mudflaps- so you’d have to remove those to fit the flares.

Mine from Ford, do say Bushwacker in the inside of the flare.

I will be needing some type of mudflaps because I've ordered some wheel spacers. So, are you saying that I can't remove part of the flare, then install the mudflap, then reconnect the flare again?

I’m just basing this on the options on the Ford website from…. 10 months ago(?) when I was ordering my car.

Taking the flares locked out taking the mudflaps, and vice-versa. It looks to me like maybe they overlap a little in where they mount, but to be honest I didn’t look too deeply into it because I didn’t want mudflaps. I’m sure there’s a workable solution.

I remember seeing that too when ordering. It was kinda ridiculous the combinations that weren't allowed. For instance if I added rear mudflap kit I have to remove the following unrelated items:

Late to the discussion. But my experience with the rough country fender flares is the bottom edges don’t sit flush with the existing plastic. You either have it sit flush on one side and expose the other side of the existing fender or have .5” of the original fender exposed on both sides so it is even. Idk if that makes sense through text but it drives me insane.

This might be a silly question, but you all go through the car wash with your fender flares? Or do you hand wash?
