Post by **christover1** » Sun Jun 15, 2003 11:43 pm

I bet they are expensive, but they look smick, and look tough enuff to go off road

$1400AUD to import a set of them from memory.

That's product price, shipping, import duties/taxes etc.

My friend Geoff runs them and swears they are the tuffest thing ever

Post by **skippy** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 12:04 pm

He's farkin funny, definately a BIG boy, and loves to talk about porn (mainly because that's the industry I use to work in).

Will go out of his way to help someone or teach someone something new. I am hopeing to go over and visit at the end of the year / early next year.

I am just going through being Trailtough's distributor in AUS so I will get an exact price for you but it will be way less than $1400.

Sam,

that's great news. as a distributor I guess you will get a better deal than a one off aussie like myself ordering a set.

I'm keen to know more when you get the information.

Post by **OVERKILL ENG** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 7:52 pm

The deal is going through now we are working out the shipping costs and what products to keep in stock. I have to buy so much to be a distibutor so if people can have a look at ther websight and give me an idea of what interests them that may help.
Thanks
SAM

they r $295usd which aint bad considerin our dollar is hovering bout .65
$1400 is a bit out there. i can bring stuff in on a customers container so it works out allllottt cheaper.

Post by **CRUSHU** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 8:44 pm

are they making them for other vehicles? they look very similar to the bushwacker flares.

Post by **Damo** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:04 am

They are bushwacker flares. Each set is 2 pairs of front TJ jeep flares or something like that. I tried tracking these down a while back and it was a real PITA.[/quote]

Post by **purefmx** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:15 am

they do look phat, however hard to justify such a price. Sam keep us posted in regards to prices and availability,

Post by **Damo** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 7:35 am

Check out regular 'ole TJ jeep flares in that case

Not as wide bust still give you 4" coverage past the body. They are kinda big though, dont match the wheel arch of the zook that well. I have a pair of front TJ flares on my zook trayback that i had cut down (shortened)

Hey Sam,

Excuse my ignorance in the costs / requirements of being a distributor for a company (i.e. i don't know what it would cost to be a distributor for a companies product)...

But if you wanted to really cover the market - you should think about doing the same thing with Spidertrax and Rocky Road.

In my opinion, if someone had all three of those companies covered, you could provide the suzuki folk here in Australia with pretty much the best (aftermarket) suzuki stuff that the American suzuki (afermarket) industry has to offer.

regards,
Greg

Greg I have contacted Spidertrax and they were not interested they said Australia wasn't a big enough market for them .

Yeah, it's been a bit of a mission. I have had to change tack a couple of times and at the moment i'm in the middle of dropping the chopped LWB tub onto a SWB chassis and making a small tray behind the cab.

I got a couple of pics this weekend just gone, i'll drop em in the members section.

that's a bit sad... any ideas about Rocky Road?

Post by **OVERKILL ENG** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 10:42 am

Ok I have a price for the flares for every one that is interested.
For a set of 4 it will cost $700

And before everyone jumps up and down about the price remember that the genuine Zook flares are $165 each.

sam can I tentatively order a set for when they come in to your shop later this year mate?

that's a great price. farkin awesome.

Post by **Guy** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 11:20 am

I think that $700 is quite reasonable ..
A set of standard TJ flares secondhand is about 400 or so ..

Being told by your local friendly police officer that you Zuk is grosly unroadworthy can cost $$$$$$ (depending on how unroadworthy)

One day when I grow up big and get a savings account .. I will look at a set as well ..

Hey Sam,

Could you humour us all and find out about pricing on the Rock Box please?

By my guestimates it will be about 3500 aus - it's about 1400 US i think.

thanks mate.
