I think you can buy lengths of plastic flare stuff. Don't know much more because I don't have that issue as mines pretty much bone stock at the moment.

Go to bunnings and get yourself some plastic garden edging. Just cut it to length and screw is to your flares. Not very pretty but it works.

And also doesn't pass in Victoria.

To keep your engineer happy go and buy some of the Bushranger rubber flare material. It has a wire along the outer edge for better ridigity, looks like its meant to be there and not like a back yard booty fab aka garden edging.

Most 4WD shops stock it. BBM in NSW, Pro Comp Melbourne etc

Well iif you would like to spend that kind of $$ on flares go ahead but personaly cant see the sense in it. Its a zook not a show car.

exactly
if you put the guarden edging on right, it wouldnt loog dogey, and if you only need 2 inches EASY!
alsothat guarden edging is unkillable.. i riped 2 actual falirs on on banks and that shit didnt go anywhere!! (actuly it was laying on the ground with the flair!

sorry if offened anyone ,
but the thing is i want it to look neat.
not neat like granny's garden,
neat like a tidy machine.

In the end its up to u. couple of guys i drive with have them on their zooks and they look ok.

I have also seen like mentioned before bushranger plastic flares but have no idea on cost.

Ive got the garden edgeing and it looks ok. You can screw it on so it just covers the tyres so you dont have it hanging out past the tyres.
Its pretty cheap to so you could use it to pass engineers then figure out something else later.

Go to clark rubber and ask for 50mm flare strip, its $13.50/m and you need 5.5 meters, cheaper than the $75 per pair of bushranger and WAY cheaper than $380/pair of bushwhackers.

Just push it up against the existing flare or guard, then screw it in place.



Also comes in 100mm version but its $24/meter

theres nothing wrong with some well placed garden products

that looks tidy man but i might need the 100mm ill have to mesure it
thats a pic before i put the W\T diffs under her it hangs out them flares

I've gone the garden edge and I think it looks as good as the flare rubber and with the way the guards curve under you have to be pretty careful to get the flare to sit neat.



Total cost for me $7.00 beat that!!

I have both, the 75mm bushranger (same as clark rubber stuff) and the wide garden edging on mine. It looks good with just the bushranger stuff, but the other stuff is only on to keep the tyres covered for daily driving and getting to 4x4 destinations. U can make the garden edge stuff look good too, and it is a shit load stronger and more solid then the rubber bushranger stuff

with just the bushrangers on


bushrangers and bunnings special


BTW mine do look pretty dodgy, but if you wanted them to look good it wouldn't take alot of effort IMHO.

Clark rubber flares... EASY to do, nice and wide.. Cheap.. like the birds...$15 bucks a meter.... and a variety of sizes...

Cheap, $15 x 1.5m x 4 guards = $90 for flares

Man are you sure you drive a zook.

Did you read my post above cost me $7 including rivots. I even curved my corners so it looks good (for a sierra anyway).

Save your money go the garden edging, I only needed 2" of cover so it meant I could cut the edging in half length ways but you could easily get 5" out of full with stuff and it's strong enough to hold itself.

Don't forget if your zook decides to have a lie down or scrap up against some rocks like all good zooks do flares may get pretty beaten up and rock rashed.

I think the clark rubber ones would flex if they got brushed against a rock or tree, but the garden edging ones are too rigid and would probably remove your existing metal flare or dent your guard as its waaaay stronger than the beer cans zooks are made of.

Roc Box has the Idea .. attach the garden edging ones to the tube around the guard..

P_Byrne... yours is waaaay to clean, you need go for a drive ... how bout this weekend.

i run the 6in garden edging plus its topped over with rubber to further extend it as i have 300mm of tyre to cover outside the body each side [got width ] my flares are quick disconnect they come off once im off road.

garden edging is not a legal way of going about it. A flare needs to be structural to a degree. It must be able to keep a pedestrian off the wheel in the case of an accident.

well you guys are are making my eyes cross lol
so i rang clark rubber in blacktown sydney and the told me that they have 60mm flare $30 a meter thats $165 to do the 4. im thinking the garden edge is starting to look good.lol
but does any one know if its passable in sydney
where are you people getting this clark rubber stuff from he said 60mm is the widest they stock in the flexi flare

Fyshwick, ACT

It is in the misc. section of the rubber extrusions pamphlet/book thing. It may also be listed under trailer mouldings.

if u have wt diffs, u should get wt flares, then put the 50mm rubber flare on the outside of that....
thats what i would do.

if 60mm was $30 meter 100mm im geussing $55 meter here in syd if so im going the garden shit just to pass it and rip it off after

I got mine engineered by the guy that does overkills 4x4s, he barely gave them a second glance he said as long as it covers the tires..
