yeah they are screwed on in the inside of the wheel well. honestly idk how it came off.

yep thinkin about takin the chrome covers off mirrors and handles, smokin the tails, black headlights, powdercoated bull bar and step bar, and of course the black bushwackers

they're bushwackers. they were on there pretty good when i first got the truck. but i think almost 3 years of muddin and offroad abuse might have had somethin to do with it falling off.

and looks like im gonna have to get them again anyways because my paint has been rubbed off by the rubber seal thing on the back of them.

the flares are fine, they won't just fall off or anything.

i actually bolted the front ones, the bracket they include in the kt, i used stainless steel hardware and bolted the brackets to flare and then attached the other end of the bracket to the inner fender bolts.
