Tube flare write up.

[Captain Ruggy]

Why is your house so crooked in that last picture!?

but seriously, awesome flares. now go get those things dirty!

That's not my house...lol. That house is up around the corner from mine. That house belongs to the city and the local high school students are fixing it up as a project.

So was there a reason to not go further down the front & rear of the REAR wheel opening... as well as the rear of the front ??
I've wanted a set for a few years... with a little more coverage though... I'm not a big fan of the eyebrow look.
I think they came out very nice... especially for a second project and for the relatively low cost...

Well done !!

They look good, but why didn't you extend them all the way down to the rockers in the rear of the fronts and the front of the rears?

I would also be worried about them bending in, especially the fronts. I would think about adding a few more braces, unless you don't plan on mashing the front end between trees.

I don't like having flares at all, let alone having them run all the way down. Plus I am going up a couple tire sizes and in the rear I'm going to have to cut and fold the lower qtr panel. So the flare would have been in the way there. The way they are allows me to cut where the tires may hit. I was basically looking out for what I want to do down the road.

I am highly considering this for the front flair and using Cruzin's for the rear. I just gotta decide if I want to spend the money on the JCR gaurds

Until you added the silicon, I thought these were for were just to get by on the road. I would agree that these might not be firm enough for hardcore offroad use.

Show me a daily driver that is used for "real" hardcore off road use. They are as strong as the fenders they're mounted to, which is plenty strong for me.

My daily driver is not used for "real" hardcore off road abuse. I think those flares will be strong enough.

Good job, I've been thinking about this project for a while. You just gave me the umpff to try it.
