Fender flares HZJ73

Looking for fender flares for my HZJ73. Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks!

Peter

My 2 cents...If you must have fender flares, try and get some factory ones that mount with the little brackets. If you use aftermarket flares that mount with screws through the
inner/outer fender the rust will take hold.

ARB Australia and TJM Australia both manufacture rubber AND fibreglass flares and neither use screws through the guards, they both bracket on like factory.

Good luck getting them overseas. The boxes are HUGE (although they weigh nothing)

Are those rubber ones just a 2 inch strip that pokes out to cover the wider trye but still look neat?
Im looking for some to replace my F/G flares

Pretty much what they are.

They come all rolled up and when you get them you have to straighten them out on your shed bench and leave em weighted down for 2 days or so or they'll just curl up on your car.

Bought fender flairs from Bushranger. They got a spring steel core that hold the shape of the wheel arc much better than the regular flairs:
