Just a quick test fit to see if there was any interference with the running board. There was initially with my RB20s but I just loosed the bolts and was able to re-adjust enough to get plenty of clearance.

The finish looks great! Very Ranger Raptor inspired

Thank goodness! Someone has finally addressed that dreadful look of the other flares where the added width of the flare terminates at the bumper. Whole reason I never even considered the bushwackers.
exactly... but, to each their own.. this is just the road I’m traveling...

Looking good. Did you decide if you are going to paint or not yet? Either way would love to see pics once you get everything mounted.

I’ve decided to have them painted Magnetic. Just need to find time to find a good shop and drop them off. I’m also trying to decide what size spacer to get. I’m probably going to go with 1.75”.

Decided I'm going with these as well and ordered. We'll see how quick I get em painted but will be doing Shadow Black. Debating now whether I do the bumper extensions Magnetic to match the bumper, or if I have the bumper done in Shadow Black as well... Either way will post up results once it's done.

I know these are supposed to be straight bolt-on but just to confirm before I hit the shop with them - you didn't have any trimming/fitment issues right? I'll probably still do a test fit just to be safe but curious.

Fit is perfect just from the test fit I did. These are very very high quality and should paint well.

Also I did another test fit today to take some measurements moving the tire to see how far out I liked it. I think a 1.5” spacer will suffice. My Raptor wheels with 265/70/17 tires are almost exactly flush with the OEM fender trim from the outside edge of the tire. With the RTR fenders adding 1.5” I may just stick with a 1.5” spacer. If I were using OEM wheels I may would go 1.75” but my wheels are 1/2inch wider. I also emailed RTR to see what offset they were using on their RTR Ranger package. Will report back when I hear from them.

Those are going to look great, especially painted magnetic!

Test fit these today, and as @AuburnRanger said these are very high quality and will be a clean bolt-on without problems. Almost wanted to run them as-is - matte black would look really good on a Shadow Black Ranger. Think I'll still get them painted to match the truck though.

Have mine as well, and having the same decision making... if I paint them shadow black, everything thing in the front is shadow black etc, or do I want the contrast? Or do I run them the way they came?

I decided to get my extensions done in Magnetic to match the bumper vs. going all out with the black. Save me some $ and time for now, can always go back in later if I decide I want to black it out. Pick everything up Monday - will get everything installed next weekend most likely.

Can’t wait to see it I’ve had my fenders for about a month now, and can’t decide how to go hahaha
