Ok, I'm going to try and contact the member that builds these over the weekend.

I'll try to have a final price by the end of next week.

 

[rossg]

just giving my $0.02 worth here...

I bought a set but havent used them

why?

1) With std 40 axles, 33x12.5 tyres and landcruiser offset rims - I beleive the flares stick out too far. Particularly on the rear

These are really designed for bigger wider tyres or 60 series axles

2) The fibreglass construction is really quite thin - great for show - but the first bump in the bush would probably be its downfall..

3) I cut (remade) my rear guards to suit Eureka 4x4 (Ken)'s flares. These flares dont retro fit over the cut-outs very well

My advise would be - if your have big wide rubber and always careful scrubbing the sides of bog holes - these flares are great..

Thanks.

Can you post some pics showing the thickness of the material please?
Maybe tape them up against your rig to show what you mean about the fit?

I know everyone would be interested before we tossed $$$ at it.

Thanks

What's the status? Dead or alive?

I've made a few attempts to contact the builder with not contact

There were a few responses (below) that concerned me.
I'd like to get a bit more feedback from both parties and the builder.

back hen the original orders fell through I took it apron myself to order
fender extensions, a snorkel, and several other small things.
The right extension fit like a dream and the left one didn't fit quite as well but I think that fender had suffered some TRAUMA from the appearance of some Bondo on it. The snorkel had a seam crack in the main tube and in the top intake, I repaired them with Gorilla Snot and that will work good.
One of the four mounting nuts that are cast in to the body broke loose and I think the others are not very strong so I will finger a way to get a tapped
plate in there to replace the nuts

All in all I am quite happy with every thing I got.

Interesting thing is his freight handler shipped the box to Singapore, then to Frankfort, then to LA, and finally to Minneapolis.

rossg- Did you ever install yours?

Richard- Can you provide a little longer term use report? How do they hold up and such?

I'm going to once again try to reach the builder.

my email address is escue1@gmail.com Could you please email me that list as well for the FJ40

Thank you!

 

[Off Duty]

I'm sorry, but unless the builder has done something on his own, the matter is dead
I tried a few times to reach him with no response, and in the end it appears that while my intentions were just, I apparently failed the members

I've been away from the forum since about December 2011, in/out of the country and away on business, and just recently returned.

Hopefully, something came about on his own, and those that wanted them got them.

My apologies to those that I may have let down...
