Have seen a few Zook's with bushwacker flares in the members pics and was wondering where these can be purchased, have looked at most of the jeep ones but they have indicators moulded into them and such, any help would be great thanks

Just follow a car around off road running them, you'll be able to pick up a set off the side of the track for free in no time

not exactly bushwackers but pretty similar. they have just got me a full set from the US and sent to me here in mildura (VIC) for $822.
just make sure to allow a good month, they told me it would take two weeks and that was a month ago, there ment to be here tomorrow or the next day. altho for the delay they have offered to give me a discount on my next purchase

My understanding is that the TT flares ARE bushwhacker- They are CJ rears trimmed to suit by TT.
could be wrong, but that's what I recall being the case.

There's a new distributor just been appointed for their products. I'm sure details will follow soon.
They're a great product. If they made them about 1.5" wider with no rebates to fit into the sierra body contours they'd be PERFECT.

I wanna know more about them "boss" flares too! They'd be perfect for covering up my guard chop if they could stretch that big. Are your guards standard ajsr? And how much did you pay for them?

The boss flares are *quite similar* to the calmini flares, but they are made from a very soft compound and are pretty much indestructable. I've not seen one torn or damaged. I have a couple of genuine calmini flares and they explode when I hit them on stuff.
They will cover ENORMOUS guard chops- it's all up to where you mount them. you'll notice these have been mounted right up near the top of the tub and are clearing 35"+ tyre.
The owner of the moulds for these has changed a few times. We've had access to them through a few sources in Vic for a while, but they've not been widely available.
There is a new distributor for these. Expect to see these widely available soon. hopefully we'll see the end of TJ fronts, $$$$$$$$ bushwhackers that fall off etc on sierras.
PS you can see in these photos the flares have taken hits (from the scrapes) They can be pushed totally flat against the panel and they just pop back.
Patzuki.... are you paying attention to this thread?

Ok you've sold me on the boss flares. I'll be mounting mine exactly where those are on that zook in the pic
So when are they going to be widely available? I might even give the zook a respray and make it look 'nice' if I can do away with my garden edging flares

What about an outers member price too? I find it a little hard to be a Vic suzi club member being in W.A.
