November 16, 200520 yr Ok ... I KNOW these are lame, but I only have so much time to use the Digi camera while my boss isn't looking I promise more fun off-road pics soon!
November 17, 200520 yr What kind and how much of a lift are you running on your Brat? I think those fender flairs look great! Where did you find them? Also, I dig the "teeth" on the front of your rig! Kurt
November 17, 200520 yr Dayn - I would really like to see the Brat when I'm in Missoula for dec./jan. I also want to meet up w/ Nels. Maybe we should plan a small get together if you are down. Those flares look good bro! P.S. - Do you have any sources of Pug's in MT?

Also, I dig the "teeth" on the front of your rig! Kurt 3" mudrat lift (Thanks again John!) And the flairs are from a nissan PU, I just pulled them from a rig in the JY and after opening up my fenders an extra 1 1/8", bending the 1" tabs I cut back to make it a strong edge, I just started at one end with the flair and anchored it with a pop-rivet (oh ... first I cut the over-sized flair in half)then I cut it a little longer than the middle and forced the flair to conform to the much rounder shape of the fender, and pop-riveted my way to the 1/2 mark, cut the flair so it was plum with a verticle line centered on the hub. Then I just matched back half by cutting it down to an estimated length and joined them at the middle backed with a piece of sheet-metal. The only problem is I ran out of rivets and used screws to finish, and I have to replace some of the screws still, but I don't think any of them are close to being dangerous to the tires, and I have trimmed alot that might be close. Thanks, I love the teeth too still waiting to get that Oct. copy of Subie Sport with a pic of the teeth in it
November 19, 200520 yr Author ACK!! I still have rubbing issues ... I guess I will have to trim back the flairs to the max too .. I should have 1 & 1/8th extra space from stock ... anyone have the amount that needs trimming for these tires? :-\
November 19, 200520 yr Not too much trimming. . . Just cut the fold a few times, bend it over. Then beat back the firewall some.
