Greetings

I need to put some flares on my GQ patrol. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good kit?

Thanks

I do prefer the Bunnings ones as they dont seem to sag like those more rubbery type ones.

But then saying that there is no give if you lean on something.

I used Clark rubber items on mine. If you fit them correctly they don't sag. Also you can put wire through the outside to give them some stiffness.

Hey mate, there are a few options that are easily achieved. Firstly how much of a flare do you need to cover your wheels? 10mm 60mm?

3 patrols later mate this seems to be the best way,

If your after a bolt on option well good luck with that,

I've done bunnings flares/garden striping. Nothing beats the flare kits of ebays, they take some time to fit neatly and the best thing you can do is get rid of the factory rear mud flaps. I built brackets back to the chassis. All they do is catch and hold mud.
