Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares for Toyota Tundra
Our Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender flares for Toyota Tundra deliver OE-grade coverage for trucks running oversized tires or lifted suspensions. Engineered from flexible UV-protected Dura-Flex 2000 thermoplastic, these flares absorb trail impacts without cracking and return to shape after minor contact. The paintable matte black finish accepts body-matched color or stays factory black for contrast styling.
We manufacture every Extend-a-Fender flare from proprietary Dura-Flex 2000 thermoplastic — a two-stage molded compound engineered for trail flex and long-term UV exposure. The material’s elasticity allows the flare to absorb rock strikes and branch scrapes without surface cracks, then return to original contour within seconds. UV inhibitors embedded during the molding process prevent the chalky fade common in cheaper ABS or polypropylene flares after 18–24 months of sun exposure.
Fitment details for Tundra models
2007–2013 second-generation Tundra
Our Extend-a-Fender kit for second-gen Tundra models mounts using the factory fender bolt holes and seven body-side push clips per corner. The flare contour follows the Tundra’s sculpted fender edge from the headlight cutline through the door hinge and down to the rear bumper transition. Each flare extends 1.75 inches beyond the factory fender lip, providing clearance for 35 x 12.50 tires on 20-inch wheels with zero offset or 33-inch tires on lifted suspensions up to four inches.
2014–2023 third-generation Tundra
Third-gen Tundra Extend-a-Fender kits account for the sharper fender creases introduced in the 2014 redesign and the revised door-to-bed body line on CrewMax models. Mounting hardware relocates two factory bolts per side to accommodate the flare’s inner bracket, but all holes align with existing chassis capture nuts — no new drilling into sheet metal. The kit includes replacement push clips color-matched to the flare finish for a seamless installed appearance.
Installation process and timeline
Most Tundra owners complete a four-flare installation in 90–120 minutes using basic hand tools — no air tools or specialized equipment required. We include a printed instruction sheet with torque specs, clip locations, and fastener diagrams, plus each hardware bag is labeled by corner position to eliminate sorting during assembly. The installation sequence starts at the front driver corner, progresses to the front passenger side, then mirrors the process at the rear.
The bolt-on mounting system uses existing fender holes and body clips, so removal for paint or seasonal storage takes roughly 30 minutes with a 10mm socket and trim panel tool. Flares ship with a protective film over the outer surface to prevent scratches during handling — peel the film after final positioning but before torquing bolts to avoid trapped edges.

Common questions about Extend-a-Fender flares for Tundra
Yes, our Extend-a-Fender flares work with leveling kits up to three inches and 35-inch tires on wheels with zero to positive offset. The 1.75-inch extension per side provides full coverage for 35 x 12.50 tires on 20-inch wheels when the truck sits at loaded ride height. For lifts exceeding four inches or wheels with negative offset beyond -12mm, measure your fender-to-tire gap at static ride height to confirm the flare will extend past the tire’s widest point by at least 0.5 inches.
No drilling is required on most Tundra model years from 2007 through 2023. The Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender kit uses existing factory fender bolt holes and body-side push clip locations for all mounting points. Two bolts per side relocate to the flare’s inner bracket using the same factory capture nuts, but no new holes are drilled into sheet metal. Complete installation typically takes 90–120 minutes with a 10mm socket and standard trim panel tools.
Yes, the Dura-Flex 2000 thermoplastic accepts standard automotive paint without additional flex additives. Clean the flare surface with isopropyl alcohol, apply two coats of flexible automotive primer, then follow with your Tundra’s factory base coat and clear coat. The matte black factory finish provides mechanical texture for paint adhesion, so no sanding or chemical etching is needed before primer. Most body shops complete color-matching using existing paint processes for thermoplastic bumper covers.
Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender flares add 1.75 inches of coverage per side, resulting in 3.5 inches of total added width across the truck. This extension is measured from the factory fender lip outward, not total vehicle width. The added coverage protects door sills and rocker panels from gravel spray thrown by oversized tires while keeping the truck within standard lane widths for street driving and parking.
We back every Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender kit with a limited lifetime warranty covering material defects, UV fade, surface cracking, and finish degradation. The warranty applies to the original purchaser for as long as you own the vehicle and covers replacement flares if the Dura-Flex material fails under normal use. Damage from collisions, improper installation, or chemical exposure is not covered. Registration is not required, but we recommend keeping your purchase receipt for warranty claims.
Factory Toyota mudflaps typically require removal or trimming when installing Extend-a-Fender flares, since the flare’s lower edge extends below the original fender line where mudflaps mount. Most Tundra owners remove the factory flaps entirely, as the extended flare coverage provides equivalent splash protection. If you prefer to retain mudflaps, aftermarket units designed for lifted trucks mount behind the flare and clear the 1.75-inch extension without contact.
Wash Extend-a-Fender flares with the same pH-neutral soap and water you use for the rest of your Tundra. The matte black finish resists water spots and fingerprints, requiring only periodic rinsing during regular truck washes. Avoid solvent-based tire shine products that can leave oily residue on the textured surface. For stubborn mud or road tar, use a plastic bristle brush and automotive degreaser, then rinse thoroughly. The UV-stabilized material does not require additional protectant treatments or coatings.
