I have been looking for those so good fine now if they made them 6" wide. I guess I am never Happy. :-/

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN COVER MY 9.50'S :o

Interestingly, Trail Tough's SAMURAI flares fit perfectly on a 4-door Kick.
Here's an e-mail I got from them:
To our amazement and because of your request we took a set of our flares out and held them against the side of our 4 door Sidekick and they actually can be made to work perfectly! And they look cool. Now keep in mind that we haven't actually screwed a set on the side of our car and probably wont because it is not lifted and it is moms daily grocery getter BUT these will work. You will have to trim them yourself at this point but it's a great option and we are pretty excited about it. I just wish I wouldn't have assumed that they wouldn't work all this time!
Thanks,
Brent

Also, it looks like Zukboys flares will fit.
However - On a 2-door Kick, the flares would interfere with the gas-cap door.

Oooooo...
I might just have to look into those for some bigger tire coverage!
Thanks Bob!

Yeah, Mrs. Bobzooki isn't real happy about getting mud thrown onto the passengers, and the dash, when the trails are wet. I don't understand...

00 I moved the whole tank up out of the way (custom suspension and needed the tank up about 8")
and just remounted the tank and made a new doghouse over it and then mounted the filler up on the frnder abouve the bump that the regular door is at.
I don't think it would be an easy thing to do unless you relocated the tank. Sorry.

I don't think those dinky little things are gonna cut it.

I wonder if these would work if you were to just remove the filler door u might still be able to access the cap and filler its that or i'm gonna move the thing entirely i really want those fenders

BUMP

I wonder if it would work to take a piece of thin aluminum and put it in the brake to give it a lip, then bend that piece around the fender.
I'm going to try it with a piece of scrap next time I'm at my uncle’s shop.
If it works I'll make four of them and paint them black.

Can Trail Toughs flares hold up to being mashed flat numerous times? I constantly use my wheels as extensions of my sliders (slide them along an obsticle untill the sliders hit and hold me off of it) I would like to do flares but dont know if they would hold up with my driving style.

The arches shown were fitted as OE by Suzuki on the 'wideboy' models. They cover an 8" rin with less backspacing than stock. There is a wider version that was fitted to the 'fatboy' models that will easily cover a 33x12.5.
Over here plastic truck arches are quite often used on Sammis and 413s, they are cheap and easily cut to the correct width. I used some on my 410 buggy. They would most probably work on a Kick too.

Yeah, I would say so.

They're Bushwacker flares. Surprise! Glenn Wakefield has finally talked Bushwacker into selling them to him, too - they're in the Samurai section of RRO's web site.
-
Thanks!!! I'll check it out.
-
The thing that really sucks, is that they're just the rear flares off a Wrangler, but do you think you can buy "just the rear Wrangler flares" from Bushwacker, and cut out the middle man? Noooooo...
::)

I've found some 2 & 3/4" flares for a 5dr and 3" flares for a 3dr in Italy. This is better coverage for wider rubber.

Here are 2 shots of the flares on my 2 door. I trimmed the front more to match the fender.

My biggest problem is with the front. I've already cut the finders back alot and can not find any that fit. I'll just have to keep looking till I do.

for $25nz i got a five meter role of black garden edging 100mm wide , cut it to length , riveted it on, done.

So, let's see - we have to convert $25NZ - OK, that's about $10.72 US, and 5 M = 16 feet, 4-27/32 inches, and 100mm = 3-15/16 inches, so thats pretty cheap! But it's also kinda UGLY... (like my rig is a freaking beauty queen, eh?)

I've got a set of the bushwacker 6" extended flares. I mounted on side on my 4 door kick with 35x14.50 boggers but they stuck out to far for mydriving style and where I wheel. So I went back to the stock yj flares. Not as much coverage but I wont lose them on any trees. My extended ones are for sale. I have all the hardware and they are like new. Let me know if anyone is interested.

They don't recommend them for Sidekicks anymore. I inquired recently and they said that they won't fit.

They no longer carry them as EGR stopped production in 2007.
