    Rubber Flares

    Hey guys iv been calling around getting prices on the rubber flares for my Discovery. Ones such as the Bush Ranger range with the metal wire in the outer edge to prevent them from sagging.

    I was quoted between 170-190 for the 35mm width flares.

    Does anybody know of a better price out there? i had a quick look on ebay but once i added up the postage and effort it was much the same

    Hmmm, that wired edge is a good idea, but an absolute cow to get through once the flare is fitted.

    Cheers mate!

    I agree with you they do look cheap and not as good as others but they are a fair bit cheaper so i guess in some cases you do get what you pay for.

    I've had these on a previous 4wd and they didn't do much in the looks department for me personally but they were effective. You were right about them being difficult fit the wire through. Then i had a brainstorm. I cut the wire square with a grinder instead of wire cutters, which burred the edge then i sprayed the wire with WD40. It then went through like corn flakes do with me after a night on the grog. Easy as.

    Cheers Rob

    Cheers!

    thats a good price but it might look a bit strange with 75mm over hang? Bit of over kill perhaps?
