#2 - Square it off.....looks better than the 'sharper' angles of #1

i vote #1 cos it'll be so much easier to cut. don't worry too much about mud flinging to the back head lights. mud hoses out pretty easily there.

Post by toysuzi »

hey tim
id move you flair up 2.5'' to 3.0''
then cut the front nose off like ur n#2 picture
where the flair ends

that way no need for body lift. n increase wheel clearance looks sweet aswell

what about going full tube like suggested. Then have a set off flat panels with flares attached that are attached to the tube with 4 bolts. Onroad have them on, offroad take them. Easy.

Just cut the fawking thing .. you do not need a comitie decision on every mod ... :D

Take out your angle grinder ... and get grinding .. it's only the Zuk sheesh anyone would think that it was some kinda pimp mobile :?

do away with the guards, they will only get damaged.
do a tube front clip and then build a flareout of more pipe out off that. but not like Otis, thats too big and too bulky.

hope an engineer will like it, otherwise I'm stuffed. :oops:

i am still getting a bit of rubbage in the front but it is because the springs are goin into a negative arch (so it will have to get bumped stoped)
