Anyone running these Flare Extensions? USA supplier?

[Trout Safari]

Jesus. At that price you'd think they'd at least be ready to install.

Well if they were cheap little China rubber strips it would seem like a "at that price" item, but they are actual molded flares. They could actually be finished with matching paint, but I chose not to since Jeep has a small strip of black on the fenders that would show between them. Sooner or later someone will come out with a less expensive option.

Painted and installed. They fit very well.

How long did they take to install? Which paint did you use specifically?

I am tempted by these, BDO site currently show the US Rubicon/Mojave flares as on sale for $348 US before any shipping ... and I would guess there is probably a customs fee or something like that to add on too. 2" Extensions for JTR/JTM US Spec

The Canadian seller is still a bit pricey.

The sale price on their page now says $348 with a note that freight shipping to the lower 48 USA is approximately $195. So at their sale price it would still be somewhere around $540-$545 ... I guess that's still cheaper than the Canadian seller.

If I am remembering correctly, in PA it's a $137 fine if they hit you up for tire tread poking out past the fenders/flares. There is endless debate about how regularly this is enforced, but all of the debate aside it would be a 4 ticket break even point

I know someone in the large commercial 3D printing business. Wondering what he could do with something like this. He's got some materials that are very very durable.

Yeah - but don't forget that it will be roughly $195 shipping to the US

I like these, but I think for that price I would stick with RokBlokz

If your primary goal is to cut down on how many rocks, mud, etc. get slung back all over your JT, then I agree. In Pennsylvania they have some crappy laws about "no tire poke" that are randomly enforced (or randomly not enforced?). I know at least two of the local police depts in my area must see this as a good money maker for them or they just hate jeeps and offroaders in general. I have an order in for a Clayton 2.5" Overland+ lift kit and some 37" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires (wheels are TBD). Based on switching from the stock 285/70-17 Wildpeak MTs to the Mickeys and the calculator on this Handy Tire Size Website I am expecting the outside edge of my tires to poke 2.3" ( edit - I previously stated 2.8" which was an error on my part) which more than current. I email DBOR adn they confirmed that US shipping should be just under $@00 - so I actually just ordered a set of these DBOR - US SPEC 2" EXTENDED FENDERS JT GLADIATOR For Rubicon/Mojave
