    I'm glad to hear it's taken time. I love your build but I'm a little jealous. Being 7.5 years behind makes me feel better

    Nice build Bob !
    I'm curious about the Bushwacker Flares ..... Did you get any more clearance with them ? Or do they just give you more of a pocket for protection ?
    If that makes any sense ? ..... Flare out , and up ? Or just out ?
    They look really good .... Would you do it again ?

    flare out...they're all cut up for the larger tires though

    clearancing came before when i cut my factory fenders

    i almost have my tires covered now :D

    won't go anywhere now either as they're bolted in with 36 bolts into the metal fender

    always been on my list, but down on the list..did it after a raffle prize trade after Rock Therapy last year (thanks jace :cheers: )

    sytfu510 had done something very similar with a different brand that is slightly cheaper...

    overall i like them...definitely changes your road manners

    combined with my Camburg uppers, you feel everything...there is also some added bump steer...

    but they're stout as fuck and are willing to take a beating...

    Didn't know you had an FJ. Just had a look at the build thread for it and it looks good! I prefer the Taco though :D Why have both? Is one driven by a significant other or something?
