Rangie Flares - now fitted

**LRHybrid100** · 23rd April 2006, 08:38 PM

G'day Guys,

Well the Rangie Flares are now fitted - they were needed as the new wheels and tyres I bought did not clear the guards!!!

THX to D110V8 giving me encouragement, and then letting Scotty do all the work - I was too afraid to cut the guards, especially the rear door.

The plan was to do just the front yesterday, but Scotty begged to carry one - so here are some pix:

Front guard all marked out:

Front guard now cut:

New wheel and tyre (Simex Jungle Trecker 2's 34 x 11.5 on flipped Disco rims)

Now with the flare centred:

Now you can see why we need to add the flares first:

now this is where I got all excited, read nervous, so didnt take any pix while doing the first rear side

thats a fair bit of door being chopped off:

a mans got to do what a mans got to do:

and just a bit more:

and finally the end result, NICE ONE:

Many THX to Scotty for the work, he enjoyed it more than I

looking very nice......

Now that looks fine.

You're a braver man than me, I wouldn't dare make the cut.

Heap of weight on that passenger front rim, is it the tyre or the rim?

Cheers
Simon

simex are very hard to balance some dont even bother to balance them just look at the weight it tells the story 8O

**LRHybrid100** · 23rd April 2006, 09:58 PM

these are as they came when I bought them - so will need to check the balances soon.

I dont intend doing huge amount ok Kms on them - just playing!!!

Your Rangie looks great, well done on the face, erm I mean tyre lift.

If you don't mind me asking, you said you fitted flipped rims, does that mean you just turned the rim the other way? Being a bit new to RR I had to ask , it just sounds odd.
And....
When you gave your rear door a trim what did you fill the gap with?

Just wondered.

Whatever you and your mates done it looks great.
