I need a set of flares for my jimny, I like the bushwacker style but It seems to me like nobody sells them
I'm just wondering has anyone tried putting the Sierra bushwacker flares on a jimny or maybe even flares off the rear of a TJ or JK wrangler

Or if you could show me what you have done with yours
Not interested in garden edging
Cheers

I think defender flares look quite good.

Bushwhackers are only suitable for on road use from what I've seen.

By on road use do you mean they wouldn't be able to handle a beating off-road?

Do you have any photos of one with defender flares? And where to source them

Yes. They're morbidly afraid of dirt and fall off.
(I'm exaggerating, but whilst they are made of quite strong material, they have a design flaw - theres insufficient material strength around the bolt holes. If they get rubbed on a bank, which happens, because they're wide and quite rigid) the bolt heads pull through the flares and they fall off, often getting wrecked in the process.

Defender flares:

search for Blakey in the rigs section.

Can't really help for resellers, best to search or try the aulro forum maybe.

The Defender flares in the picture are not original Land-Rover (which don't have exposed screw / bolt heads) - might be Terrafirma or Flatdog UK.
Rovercraft (Perth based) might have these - branches in Melb & Syd.
