BOLT ON FLARES

[thunder]

where can you get these
and will they fit a Gu patrol.
I've massacred my front guards and seen these style flares on a
old F-250.

this isnt a very good picture

you can't get them for the GU. They are a bushwacker flare and they are a US based company so bias towards US rigs. You may find one that would work for the front but if its a wagon I doubt you'd find one that would fit.

They look good but they're a bit 'bling-bling' aren't they?

A couple of decent knocks and they'd break off like the OE GQ ones do. You need a bit of flex in the rubber to absorb some impact/rubbing. And heaps of screws, not just 5 or 6 bolts, so when it does snag it doesn't rip the whole flare off.

just my thoughts on the idea.

i have red flare stuff here as a last resort b4 comp time.
there is NO lip on the guard anymore so as a last resort i will poprivit
angle on there and attach the flare..look very crap.

rest of the patrol is starting to look bling.a bit of a maccas look

Can't you fold a new 15mm lip, or have you already chopped too much guard away?

Could always try this look

[thunder]

nope.cant make a lip.
it has about 1mm of guard left under the snorkel.
i got excited thinking i might run bigger rubber one day but stuffed it big time.
for this year i have 37 claws(willowglen)37 claws(nissan trials)
38 boggers(woodpecker) they have no problem clearing the guards

new panels and start again or like use fancy hex head bolts (like the slr 5000 look) and bolt of some predrilled angle then use garden bed trimming instead of bolt of flares alot cheaper and u can have them flare out a fair bit i saw it somewhere on outers
