Having just bought a 94 Disco I....it has the following:
33" Tires,
3" lift,
LOTS-O-Lighting,
ARB Air Lockers
....and other internal stuff....GPS, compass, Tilt gauges, upgraded stereo...etc etc...

Anyway....I am looking for fender flares...as the tires stick out from the side of the vehicle by about 2". As the fenders had to be shaved (read - tinsnipped) to accomodate
the larger rubber, the wheels now stick out from the side of the vehicle. Although this looks cool, we have a ton of sand here in SoCal (not sure who ordered all that damn sand), and I know its going to end up blasting the body. So...does anyone know of side flares, that are relatively inexpensive, that can be bolted to the fenders? I have looked at standard stuff that you can order through JC whitney and the like, which is fine for the front as its one continuous piece. The problem comes with the back door split, where you need caps for the material, otherwise it looks like S*%$.

Any help would be appreciated, and other mods that can be done by a backyard mechanic would be cool.....love working on cars in spare time...hence the Disco I!!!

http://www.dap-inc.com/homeframe.htm has some. though $550 seems a bit pricy to me.

i've seen pics of some dude using the OEM flares off of a TJ.

those look like the same ones i posted. starting bid calculates to about half the price, and i doubt shipping would be all that high. good find blue.
