That is the same guard as pictured on Toymad's rig. They just dont line up well at all. They are made by AOR/Hannerman in the US. I wouldnt waste the money on getting them in from the US.

The moulds i had made do fit a little better but still need some work. If you still want a set contact Neil(GRUB)- http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... rofile&u=8 He has the moulds and may be interested in making some more. But the finished product still needs a little work to make them fit although they fit much better then the AOR ones.

Would basicaly need trimming slightly in some areas and filling in others. I sold mine to another guy and he said they fitted fine so my body could have been bent. I ran steel guards because i knew i would damage them and they were easier to replace.

Dont know what they are Worth you will need to contact Neil. I dont know if he still has the moulds or wants to make any more. Can buy new guards aftermarket for $70 each.

Yes, digging up an old thread, but I am after some flared guards for an LN65.

Anyone have some current information on where I can get some, or if there are molds in someones shed I can make my own if you want to part with the molds.
