How often can a company claim to be The Original and, better yet, substantiate that claim? Flashback to the brand's earliest days in 1967, in a meager garage shop in Portland, Oregon, Jerry Logan sought to solve a real-world problem for off-roaders everywhere. The sport of conquering rugged, often uncharted terrain in otherwise street-legal trucks was on the climb. For many, this meant extensive modifications to their vehicles and, of course, the addition of larger tires. This notion often posed a more significant obstacle to the off-roader than the trail itself. Run those larger tires on any public highway, and you'll stand the risk of receiving a hefty fine. With no real solution readily available, Jerry, an off-road enthusiast himself, set out to develop a simple, bolt-on fix. From this most authentic of grass-roots efforts, the ORIGINAL fender flare was born and, in so doing, Bushwacker's name became synonymous with the product it had pioneered.
While the Bushwacker brand was clearly born on the trail, our constant pursuit of innovation has helped us blaze a whole new path into the future.
