Hi All

i am trying to track down a pair of replacement rear flares. I am not if the current ones are standard but they are attached by allen head screws and are about 4" in width.

Any ideas? I did fine a place in Noosa that does Fibreglass parts but are waiting for a reply.

Regards
Wilko

i dont think any 40 had flares as standard?

i have heard of people using jeep flares on them.

I will try and organise a pic.
With respect to the flares. Does the size of your wheels/tyres detirmine flare size? My truck has 33" tyres on 12 rims (i think, it is currently interstate)

I went TJ Wrangler flares on mine and they worked awesome. If you laid the truck down or rubbed against a tree or something they just pop back into shape. You'll probably have to cut the guards out to make them fit properly but thats not a bad thing IMO.

I can get the 50mm flares in fibreglass from Noosa. Is there a law/rule detirmining flare size compared to rim/tyre size? Or will anly flare size do? The broken ones on the truck appeear to be 75-100mm.
