Bushwacker only approves installing the fl ares 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 fl ares.
Fit: Verify the fi t of the fl ares to vehicle. (Some fi ling, sanding, or
cutting may be necessary to ensure proper fi t).
Painting: (Optional) if paint is desired it must be done prior to installing fl ares
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 fl ares using a high quality enamel, or
polyurethane automotive paint. If painting edge trim (not recommended),
use a fl ex additive.
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 fl are.
Exhaust System: Modifi cations may be necessary to maintain a
minimum 4” clearance between fl ares and exhaust pipes. (Exhaust
gases should not vent directly onto fl ares)
Metal Protection: All exposed fasteners and bare metal should
be treated with rust resistant paint BEFORE installing fl ares. Spray
inner fender wells with undercoating AFTER fl are attachments have
been completed.
Decals: Flares may interfere with existing decals on vehicle. If you
wish, remove decals prior to installation of fl ares.
