Hi all
After some trips claiming the stock plastic guards and the others falling off I decided to get some rubber guards instead. Here they are fitted and as you can already see they have been put to good use!

Cheers
Brett

P.s someone thought they had a sense of humor by adding graffiti to my truck lol although I was probably asking for it anyway

Are the bunnings flares only 75mm wide?

I had a look at Bunnings the other day when I was in the garden section and only saw 75mm wide edging?

The standard GQ flares are about 70mm so It's not much gain.

I think need about 100mm wide as my tyres are seriously sticking out and the car just gets sprayed with mud even just on my dirt road....Let alone It's also illegal....lol
