Thanks, and sorry for not updating my build post... it's a question of getting time! Whatever other part numbers you need, just ask on the build thread and I'll dig it up in a jiffy. Hope you're enjoying Africa!

Hi Damien I need your help for flares with built in mud flaps for my VDJ 78 series,Never too late to follow upI had mentioned them in my build thread but not here...
In a nutshell they fitted perfectly, both front and rear, although there was a lot of eye-balling to get them lined up. I also think I fitted the front fenders a little farther back (as far as they would go) to accommodate my 285/75/16s .
The only issue I hadn't realised was that the front mudflaps have a moulded insert to receive the factory side steps. I needed to improve my side steps anyway, so I will be realigning them so they slot into the moulding

My rear flares might be the same, but the front won't be. I'm pretty sure the VDJ7Xs come with a factory front flare with mudguard incorporated that would fit yours, just a matter of whether the style of the new front and old rear 74 series match up to your liking
Hey mate, did you have any luck with this? I have just purchased a vdj78 and am looking on doing the same. Would like to hear how youve progressed. Cheers Zac

Pity... the ones I got for mine from the 74 are very supple.

Terrain tamer is the same company, but with the part numbers you can buy online too from the numerous oem part sellers that have cropped up everywhere more recently
FRP in NSW make the best reproduction fibreglass parts for the 7* series
There use to be one in Kewdale, but I havent been there for years.
Sorry to bring up this old thread, but do you know who made those flares by any chance?

if you mean the ones in the photos, by reading the posts you'll see they are from a 74
Hey mate which ones are correct mudflaps ? They give 2 choices after clicking on part number. Cheers
Hello,
-60110 is the mud flap for a truck without fender flares.
-60100 is the mud flap for a truck with fender flares.
These parts numbers are for short- and mid-wheelbase 70 Series. If you intend to use them in one of these, they should work. Otherwise, check again.

as Juan said, -60100 are for the flares. they fitted my 02' 78 perfectly. I even had all the factory holes for the brackets they require.
the LH side mud flap has a small cut out for where the exhaust runs as well.
I'm also attaching here a .csv file with all the part numbers i used to fit these, which includes even the rivets (i used nuts and bolts in the end). Over the years i must have emailed this excel file a few dozen times cause ih8mud didn't allow uploading of excel files, but i see csv is now allowed so here you all go!

Thanks guys. Yeah new Troopy so these will suit the rear. I’ll get wide body flares for front cheers
