Here is a pic of the flares installed on the cruiser... I have since trimmed the corners for a better "curb appeal" and added small pieces of metal to brace the ends of the flares out like the rest of the flare.

It always amazes me when consumers settle for "cheap" tires. Especially TLC enthusiasts, why would you put the "least expensive tire you will find" on your truck??

I will do that. Someone has to try them out! I hate never finding reviews.Looks good, you will have to keep us updated with how they drive and wear.
They are pretty quiet for MTs. That was something I read on the reviews I found as well. Why not go MTs? I didn't care about noise anyways. This isn't my daily driver and it looks way better with them.Me know how they ride. Up in the air between MT and AT
They're Bushwhacker flares. I've had them for a couple years along with the corner guards. Finally put them on a couple weeks ago. You can order them from almost anywhere. Just Google them. I trimmed about 1.5" of fender. If you don't want to cut your fenders, I've seen some people just paint it black underneath. I think they were $150-$175. They perfectly cover the rust spots from the spot welds!Wheels and tires look great!!
I like the fender flares too!! Please tell me about them... What brand? Where's you find them?

Perhaps...
1. Testimonials from friends and acquaintances.
2. Best they can afford to run on a recreational vehicle.
3. Personal preference
4. None of your business.
Sorry, but your musing was an unprovoked, rude and potentially embarrassing attack.

Just figured I'd add some more detail and pics if you're interested. Here's some before and after pics of trimming the rear quarters. Sorry I didn't take pics of the same side each time. I know a lot of people hate diamond plate corners and fender flares, but I just wanted you to see the difference. My rear quarters are shot. Someday when I can afford it, she will get a new tub, but for now this improves the looks to me. The spot welds are bad, especially on the passenger side. The rear corners were all but gone once I beat out the Bondo someone covered the rust with. I have spent my money making this mechanically sound since I've owned it. New brakes, clutch and brake masters, battery, electrical, engine tune up, tie rods, power steering, fluids, new shocks, bushings, and lift springs, heater core rebuild, etc. Also a rear bench seat so my daughter's car seat could have a place!

It sure covers up the ugly spots!
What kind of rear seat did you use? That's cool u still have the pto winch. Does it work? Do the tires rub on the tie rod when u turn?
