City bus fender flares?

[DeRocha]

Jc Whitney, has them priced at about $80 bucks for complete set. That's not bad, compared with 300-400 . I was reading up on the stuff they are made from. Pretty cool stuff, it's a synthetic rubber that was developed for roofing. 40 years ago. They say the roof's are still there and work, in Alaska, and the desert somewhere. I think the roofs come with a 20 year guarantee. Sounds like a good product.

Oopps sorry. . I had a typo I should have said they "Were cheap" compared to other options..

Michael,

The Creepy crawlers are great for off-road. I got tired of trying to find a radial with super strong side walls & decided to get bias tires. I did a lot of research on Pirate & other boards & the Creepy Crawlers have a good rep & as far as I know, no ones ever cut a sidewall…not even in competition events.

I’ll post a review in the review section in a bit with pictures & more info. They were a bear to get balanced but after that they take away the worry that I’ll rip ‘em up out in Baja.

FLARES: I went & ordered the extra wide ones from JC Whitney, should be here in about a week. I have a lip welded in where I cut the fender so I should be able to screw these up pretty easy.

CG has been sneaky... Rig looks good!

These flares are a great find.

Just curious to see if anyone picked up a set of these yet...

I never made it over to look at them, but I plan to get some in the next few weeks.

CG should have got his by now...

 

[FAT CAT]

Yeah, they should be up at my mailbox by now. I plan to get up there by the end of this week, so hopefully I should have them on soon

Glassworks Unlimited makes replacement fenders that are wider and cut out more for more suspension travel... A bit more money than y'all are talkin though.

I ahve the pacer flares, they installed very easily, have held true and look great. They have pulled away from the side in a few places but its nothing that is really notciable. I would definatly reccommend them.

!!!OOPS!!! I didn't actually look at the site first. I just remembered the Ranger fenders looked sweet when I was researching building a PreRunner

Thanks for the info sn0Border88.. I saw some of the pics in your gallery and they look good It looks like you got the ones that mount to the fender lip, correct? I have trimmed my front fenders and would need to re-weld a new lip in place...
