I like Jerry's better because they have the rib in it that helps it keep the round shape. Lost  Samurais might have looked alot better prior to all the miles and sun beating on them but you can't tell now. Either way, it's cheaper than the $300 kit.

Just needs more screws, a bigger hammer, and a can of paint, mine are two years old, lets see if jerry's make it in the long run, they do look good though jerry thubs up.

look good the only thing i see that might improve them is to take them of and fiberglass them together but the look awsome either way

  I love that idea.I have been building firetrucks and strange stuff for 20 years,and make good money,and still won't pay 300 for rubber flares.
   If you can build it why buy it?It has to satisfy no one but you.

I think the it's got a catchy name. :P It's been sticking in my head since I started looking at bigger tires. :o  I have every intention of building these myself as soon as my wife let's me do the lift. ;D

Here is how mine turned out. I did them a little different and in a rush 30 min before I went on a trip. I used garden edge stuff 1in blocks of wood and some sheet metal screws. I screwed the 1 in blocks under the factory flares then I screwed the edging to the wood.







I'm usually picky about things but for $15 and 30min I think it looks good enough.

Hey, Those look Great... You just saved yourself a small fortune....
at the carwash...
at being unavoidably detained...
at spending 400 on aftermarket flares...


Thanks for the post!!!

Less time at the car wash is good but it sure is a lot of fun to pull into the girls high school field hockey fund raiser car wash covered in mud. :P Thanks girl here is your dollar. :laugh:







I need more and better trail pictures.
