Built to Protect What You Drive Hard
Five decades of engineering fender flares that shield trucks and Jeeps from trail damage, road debris, and everything in between.
What We Stand For
We don’t follow trends. We build protection that works when you need it most — on the trail, at the job site, hauling across state lines.
Engineered in America, Tested on Real Terrain
Our fender flares are designed in the U.S. by engineers who understand what off-roaders face — mud ruts that spray rocks, trails that crack weaker plastics, snow that freezes ordinary hardware. We test durability in the conditions our customers actually drive, not just lab benches. Every Pocket Style flare and OE Style set goes through impact testing that simulates years of trail abuse before we ship the first unit.
Function Beats Flash Every Time
We build coverage that actually protects your paint, not just adds visual bulk. Our Extend-a-Fender flares give you 1.5–2 inches of extra width where it matters — over the tire, where rocks and mud hit hardest. If a design choice doesn’t improve impact resistance or tire clearance, it doesn’t make it to production. Style follows function, not the other way around.
Materials That Outlast Warranty Periods
We use Dura-Flex 2000 TPO — a thermoplastic blend engineered to flex on impact rather than crack. This isn’t the brittle ABS plastic that snaps in freezing temps or fades to chalk in desert sun. Our material recovers from trail hits that would shatter cheaper alternatives. When a rock strikes a Bushwacker flare at 40 mph, the panel absorbs the blow and springs back. Competitors’ products often show permanent stress cracks from the same impact.
Installation That Doesn’t Require a Fabrication Shop
Every set we ship includes vehicle-specific hardware and pre-drilled mounting points. Our Flat Style flares for Jeeps bolt on in under two hours with hand tools — no cutting, no grinding, no welding. We include stainless steel hardware that won’t rust out after three winters of road salt. If an installation requires modification to your factory fender, we call that out in the product specs before you order, not after you’ve torn apart your truck.
Coverage Options That Match How You Use Your Rig
Not every driver needs max-width flares. We offer factory-width options for daily drivers who want OEM aesthetics with better durability than stock plastic. We offer extended-coverage models for lifted trucks running 35-inch tires. Our Cut-Out Style flares preserve access to factory mud flaps while adding protection. We don’t force one flare profile on every customer — we match coverage to intended use.
Where We Came From
Bushwacker started making fender flares when off-road trucks were utility rigs, not lifestyle purchases. The early market needed protection from rock chips and mud spray — not cosmetic add-ons. We built the first products for working trucks that hauled lumber in Colorado mountain towns and construction equipment across ranch land. Durability wasn’t a marketing term; it was the baseline requirement.
That approach hasn’t changed. We’ve expanded the product line to cover modern Jeeps and full-size trucks, but the engineering standard remains the same: build flares that protect paint from damage your insurance company won’t cover. Our test drivers still run prototypes on off-road trails in the Southwest before signing off on new models. If a flare design survives 500 miles of desert rock without stress cracks, it earns a SKU.
How We Choose What to Build
We prioritize coverage patterns that solve real installation problems. When we developed the Boss Pocket Style line, the design brief came from installers who needed faster fitment without sacrificing protection. The result: flares with integrated mounting brackets that cut install time by 30% while maintaining the same impact resistance as our standard models.
We avoid feature creep. Our product lines focus on proven flare profiles — Pocket Style, OE Style, Extend-a-Fender, Flat Style — rather than chasing novelty shapes that compromise function. If a new design doesn’t improve coverage, installation ease, or material durability, it doesn’t get greenlit. This keeps the lineup focused on products that actually serve off-road use cases.
Material choice follows the same logic. We spec UV inhibitors in our TPO compound because fender flares sit in direct sunlight year-round. We add impact modifiers because trail debris hits at unpredictable angles. These aren’t luxury features — they’re engineering responses to the physics of how flares fail in the field.
Our Commitment to You
When you install Bushwacker flares, you’re getting protection that outlasts the competition’s warranty periods. We stand behind every set with support that doesn’t route you through offshore call centers. If a mounting bracket fails or a panel cracks under normal use, we replace it. No hassle, no runaround.
We also commit to maintaining fitment accuracy as truck manufacturers update body lines. When Ford redesigns the F-150 fender profile, we update our tooling to match. You won’t find yourself stuck with flares that no longer align with factory mounting points three model years after you bought your truck. Our engineering team tracks OEM changes and releases updated SKUs to maintain proper fit.
