Cut Out Fender Flares Longbed

[TheDirtyJeep401]

So I was reading that if you put Bushwaker or the Napier cut out flares on a long bed, they will cover up the gas tank lid. Is this true? If so is there people that have made them work? If you have any pics they will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

From my memory what people have done is offset the driverside so that the fill door clears.  There were some pics on here of a member who had the bushwackers installed and he moved the driverside back  about 1". it didn't look too bad unless you looked at both sides at the same time side by side and you'd notice.

I think if it were me, i'd get a spare gas cover door, and contour it to match the flare. Shouldn't interfere with the filling process.

 

Just draw the arc on the spare lid, cut it 1/8" longer. Cut some relief notches along the arc, and bend or fold the metal.

From page seven of THIS THREAD:

 

the rear driver side was a little more tricky...


so marked it up



and came up with this
with the extra flares molding


still in need of adjusment

Those don't overlap that bad, I'd just cut the door like above.

Napiers fit with out cutting the door. Doug sent me a template and I fit checked it on my long box.

The plastic is thicker, the price is cheaper also. Cutting is necessary on the fronts and rear...
