I know you needed to cover up those holes but if you didn't, the angle aluminium makes for a super sleek, strong design. I'm going to make a set for my Cherokee using snaps like on a jacket, that way when im in the bush either I can take them off or if I hit something they can pop off instead of breaking. How brittle is your lawn edging? The stuff I've seen is fairly brittle....

if it helps, i've been running the lawn edging flares for almost a year now and i've sandwiched them between my jeep and trees and they simply fold and then "form back" never had them split or shatter/crack from being too brittle

These look really good for what they are. I'm just wondering why if you took the time to make the fender plate and bracket out of steel, why not just continue using steel for the flare itself? Seems like the logical progression.

Well that's good to know that the lawn edging holds up. I think the reason for not using steel is first of all cost and then second if you hit some thing they fold and crease instead of just bending around it like the lawn edging does.

Yeah, for what they are they look good.
With as much effort as you have in them I think I would have went with steel flares instead of the garden stuff but I'm sure you have your reasons.
The only other thing I would have done differently would be to extend the steel part to cover all of the fender below the body line.
It would have covered the dent and the holes you have in the fender and give more protection all the way across.

Why didnt you bend the flat stock to the body lines, too? Do you think anything could wash down down in there and start rusting...idk where youre from though, but salt could get in there and be a pain down the road
edit: dear god this an old thread...
