They look good on hiluxes alright! Not for everyone i'm sure, but it's a nice option.

Don't be afraid to order from the US websites. Just email them and ask if they do international deliveries. My bushwackers (flat style) arrived last week, delivery time was about 4 days from the states, better than most local mail :shock:

jeeps,

bushwacker only sell to their distributors apparently.

Sumit racing in the US sells them http://www.summitracing.com/search/year ... s=Rank|Asc


A few of the jeep suppliers here sell bushwackers for Jeeps I am sure they will order for you if you talk to them

Wooders gets my vote for this but search and you will find others

I've seen the flexible calmini style flares for suzuki sierras used on the front of 3rd Gen hiluxes, and they looked pretty good.

These are available from doubleblack offroad, and they are flexible enough they countour well to the shape of the hilux front end.

Could be worth a look.

I think bushwacker are too fragile from what I've seen - if hit, the bolt pockets break out.

I bought mine through Quadratec.com in the states, i've bought a few times from them in the past and they are great to deal with. They sent me their latest catalogue - all 351 pages of Wrangler accessories :shock: :D :cool: :armsup:

They're a jeep aftermarket seller but they should be able to get what you want.

Yes, that's the reason i didn't go with the pocket ones. These new flat style ones i've got are supposed to be able to take some hits.



Anyway, just do as i'm doing atm and just don't run flares at all!
