go bunning for the garden edging chewap to use cheap to replace.

if you only do mud slinging or beach go for a nice set but if you go through rutted out muddy hills go for the garden edging becoz garunteed you will tear them off

Genuine Toyota SR5 flares will cost you around $300 PER WHEEL. That's not including mounting hardware...

Try a wrecker or a 4wd store, both should be able to find you something to suit.

those 35's are only 12.5" wide to, he must have had smaller backspaced rims or wheel spacers.

i'd go with the 35's and run these flares, with the little turnbuckle thingy's.

Bushranger flexy flares would do it: http://www.bushranger.com.au/flexyflr.html at $150 a set

or you could use duraflares which are very similar to flexy flares but are vehicle specific not universal so they may look a little better. cost $307 from ARB

Fibreglass SR5 replica flares are not available for the single cab.

dont wanna go drilling into the pannels :P

yeah the wheels he had the 35's on had a differant offset that made them hang out heaps

if the tail lights have ADR approval, and im sure you could get them for a lux with that, they should be fine. id put some mudflaps on the rear incase he does relise it next time he sees it......... :armsup:
