Set Part #70911-02
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
A) Bushwacker® only approves installing the flares according to these written
instructions with the hardware provided. WARNING: Failure to install
according to these instructions will invalidate the warranty. This includes,
but is not limited to using alternative installation methods, hardware, or
materials. DO NOT USE: Loctite, SuperGlue, or similar products on the hardware
or the flares.
B) Fit: Verify the fit of the flares to vehicle. (Some filing, sanding, or
cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fit).
C) Painting: (Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to
installing flares on vehicle. Clean outer surface with a good grade degreaser.
DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER OR ENAMEL REDUCER AS A DEGREASER. Wipe outer
surface thoroughly with a tack rag prior to paint. Application of plastic
adhesion promoter for ABS plastic as per your paint system manufacturer’s
recommendations is required. Paint flares using a high quality enamel, or
polyurethane automotive paint. If painting edge trim (not recommended), use a
flex additive.
D) Performance: Using larger Tires may increase the area required to turn the
vehicle. Some Tire/Rim combinations may require lowering bump stops and or
installing steering stops to prevent tire from contacting flare.
E) Exhaust System: Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4”
clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust gases should not vent
directly onto flares)
F) Metal Protection: All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be treated
with rust resistant paint BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner fender wells
with undercoating AFTER flare attachments have been completed.
G) Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on vehicle. If you wish,
remove decals prior to installation of flares.
H) Care & Cleaning: Bushwacker fender flares are built to last; any detergent
you use to wash your vehicle is sufficient to clean the flare. Do not use any
harsh abrasive detergents.

If your flares already have the edge trim installed, skip to Front Flare Installation Step 1.
EDGE TRIM INSTALLATION
A. Peel two to three inches of red vinyl backing away from Edge Trim

of the flare, affix the edge trim to the top edge of the flare (the portion
that comes in contact with the vehicle).
B. Press edge trim into place along the top edge of the flare in one-foot
increments, pulling red vinyl backing free as you continue to work your way
around the top edge of the flare.
