I made these for a little over 100 bucks. Why not just try to build some for yourself?

Thats what happens when you mount your tires slightly intoxicated.

I want something like that above or like Frankz has, made with tubes and flat on top. I dont have a welder or a pipe bender so i dont think i can make them my self. I will either buy all the material u need or give you the money to buy it and i will pay labor and if you want i can buy some Beer to!

Anybody making theirs with some kind of plastic so they might hold up better in an impact? I know sheet metal is a cheaper way to go, just wondering how it can be done. Im not excited about paying $400 for flares.

Someone on Naxja makes Bushwackeresque flares out of some kind of plastic that is supposed to hold up better than what Bushwacker uses.

I had Bushwackers and they are flimsy as hell, make some or buy something else.

Naxja, is that another Jeep forum? I'll check that out, thanks for the tip. You know how much he was asking for them? I don't see how theyre worth more than $200 or so and $400 is just retarded.
