I think it is funny that people think defender flares on a jimny look bad but are quite happy with bunnings garden edging on a sierra ha ha..

I think I would be getting those purpose made ones that Alien posted up.

its down to personal appeal, and tbh they are arches you either adapt some buy ones that look exactly the same that are made for it, or use garden edging, id rather something that actually looks like an arch rather then spending $5 and having it look like iv screwed plastic garden edging to my Jimny.

plus with them ill be able to put a higher - offset rims.

iv also seen guys use wrangler arches on the jimny,

at least the defender & original jeep ones are a HDPE type of plastic that will have a bit of give in them if brushed against a bank or tree rather than the fiberglass ones from Origin etc that will crack/split/shatter if you breath on them

is not a bad price for a full set of 4... question is how much would be the shipping cost... and wht material re they made of

plus shit lots of chopping and trimming bofre being able to fit them.... in the back is easy, but in the front our jimnys have a metal flare part of the bodywork that jap jimnys dnt have

Once you take the plastic's off, it would be easy to virtual lift - as to how neat it would look...um, that's whole other thing
