Too bad steel weighs so much or I'd pay for shipping.

I got a work order on my jeep because my bushwhackers "are too wide "!!!!! So after bouts of denial, anger, depression, I have searched through our Road Transport Authority laws and found a nice little loophole. BOLT ON wheel arch flares can only stick out 75mm (3 inches) from the METAL bodywork.
So now I will have to build my own flares, braze them on and panel beat like I never have before to make them strong and look good.
Subscribed to this so I can steal ideas, hints and tips
