Every voice counts? How much did we need to get these products? If here would be a dislike Button... No I won´t push it because I like the Bushwacker Products! So come on guys make some Products for the TRAILBLAZERS !


Buskwacker wrote:‎Karsten - Thank you very much for your post. Its your enthusiasm that drives us to make better products for dedicated people like yourself. Yours and the Trailblazer community's multiple requests for Bushwacker Fender Flares has not gone ...unheard. The time it takes to research and develop new Fender Flares is considerable, due to the technical details involving all the years and submodels available under the Trailblazer badge.
We have to do our homework first before we can take a flare to market, and unfortunately in this case it can take a while. That being said, research is being done for the Trailblazer and we will let you know as soon as we have news to report. This does not guarantee that a fender flare will be made available - but we want to let you know that like all Fender Flare requests, it is given due consideration by our new product development team.


I honestly think that this is dead. I don't think we'll ever see flares for the TB. The line having so many different fender designs doesn't help. But that is my $0.02.

Karo, I was driving down the road this week and was admiring a TB from the side when I noticed it was actually a Jeep Grand Cherokee. They have a lot of the same design that we do. Maybe you can find some flares for one of them and make them work.

That has been my idea for a while now. One time I had the chance to park next to a GC with the flares and they lined up just about perfectly. Neither myself or the owner had a tape measure, so we couldn't figure it out for sure. This time last year I played with the idea of making custom flares but after researching, this idea seemed much better. To this day, nobody has done it. I will be attempting it this year, but probably not until fall.

I had a lifted Jeep lib///y come by my work over the weekend. I was able to park it next to a Trailblazer, The wheel wells look very similar, It may be possible for them to fit with little modification.

Interesting. Did the forum's dirty word filter change that word and insert the "///"? That would be odd indeed, unless somebody doesn't want me to search for the word and post my little picture....... JD - you do that? :work:

Yeah, but I didn't forget about it. It's a permanent filter. I got tired of that gay picture Bill kept posting. :puker:

:Iagree: :finger:

Yea lets not get our hopes up. That was a message to humor us so we get off their case and dont look bad to outsiders. They basically said "sure sure buddy no problem" and walked away.
