Thanks for that link, Atmos. I may order them tomorrow after I get paid. Only thing I didn't like was a few pages further that he said his rear tires rubbed pretty bad (without bumpstopping though) I extended my rears a bit, and can always extend them a bit more if needed. Guess if they don't work out, someone might be getting a cheap set of flares

Will still reconsider the rustys ones, I kind of forgot about them until you mentioned it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I know some folks consider riding on fire roads "wheeling" but I'm not one of those. Not saying they're wrong but just not what I mean when I talk about riding. Not saying you have to beat the crap out of it and get tons of body damage but if you actually wheel it body damage happens.

That's some strong plastic and his fenders must be way stronger than mine.

I stole these off of his Facebook. He's not on the forums or anything. I'm pretty sure he has an RC 4.5". We just put a new track bar on it the other day, a crappy RC one to hold him over until his new double shear arrives. The tires are 32x11.50x15 KM2's. Room to spare.

Those are Goodyear MT/Rs not BFGs and I ran 33s on a RE 4.5" lift with stock flares so I'd hope he has plenty of room.

if your not going to bang up against stuff the flat flares will work great for you. just make sure to bump stop it this will help make sure they do get ripped off. im running 4.5" of lift with 35s and custom flares i have room but do rub while hanging two tires.
