The International Harvester Scout - dear God
it was ugly!
Sensing that people wanted their Bronco’s to look the part, Bushwacker developed the first fender flare for Ford’s mighty off-roader and with it the Bushwacker legend was born.
45 Years of Bushwacker
In the fickle world of aftermarket truck styling and accessories few brands have been around as long as Bushwacker. For over 45 years the Oregon-based company has led the way in designing fender flares for pickups and Jeeps and it remains a prime innovator in the industry.

Bushwacker’s 5 Unique Fender Flare Styles
• Street Style – Bushwacker’s low profile fender flares (on average 0.75”) designed to add visual impact to stock tire/wheel packages.
• OE Style – Retaining the factory appearance but adding approx. 1.75” of flare, the OE range offers additional coverage to a vehicle.
• Extend-A-Fender – Offers a ‘limited edition’ look at a fraction of the price while adding 2” of extra flare coverage for bigger wheels/tires.
• Pocket Style – Adds a bold 2.5” ‘pocket flare’ look without the need for cutting/drilling.
• Cut-Out – Creates space for the largest tire/wheel combos with a generous 3.75” flare that really looks the part.
