Cheap fender flares

Recommended Posts

My old flares were crumbling and I didn’t want to pay the high price of new ones so I made my own from a Home Depot floor mat. It was $25 so if it doesn’t hold up no big loss. IMG_6859.jpegI may opt for some thicker material if I can find it. Overall I was pleased with the result for my hunting rig.

Yeah, that’s a silencer I made from an 8” piece of iron pipe. I threaded the inside of ten exhaust opening and it just screws in. Here are a couple more pics of the flares.

I like the way they look. I need some too for a forman ,but don't want to pay the high price. I'll probably make some . Is that some type of rubber or plastic?

It is a rubber material and very flexible. About 3/16”. I wanted something thicker but the thicker mat that was in the store already was cracked as it was rolled up and would probably rip easily on the trail. I haven’t trail tested this hard yet so I will see how it holds up and report back after deer season starts in August.
