Interesting pics on Fender flare search

Post by norville »

I was looking for a solution for my wheel tire combo issue. As many of you know the front axle is slightly wider than the rear.. I like my setup but the front sticks out to far. In Pa the tread of the tire needs to inside the bodywork. or with a flare under 3" I like the jeep TJ/YJ ect for the rears but not the front ect.. bla,bla, bla... Any way I saw these pics on bing. I'm not sure if this MWB was discussed or not? But I like the front flare idea. It looks stock ish? maybe? Thoughts from the site experts? As a follow up I know the Aussie folks had some aftermarket versions of fiberglass flares anything like that around anymore?

Don't read this, I am not a site expert.

Someone in MT made some beefy flares with 1 x 3 (?) tube following the wheel well lines. They looked good and stout.

That's pretty obvious... no pics attached. Ha

Unfortunately I do not have access to those photos but was hoping MT or someone in Montana would show them. Wish I could show you, they were a nice solid option and an excellent DIY.

This is a Patrol in Japan. The fenders are actually stock for Japan. I've never seen them anywhere else.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Mike,
That is my favorite color for a Patrol. This pup was in Japan and it was being sold on sites linked through Patrol forums. I remember it was in Kanagawa prefecture, Yokosuka, Japan at a very small used car place.

I saw those Zed, not what I'm looking for , they look like CJ flares or flexy flares, I've seen you Aussies having a fitted style of flare. thanks
