Looks good man. That'll give the Bronco some protection. I like the color scheme too! How do you like the Dirt Grips?

Looks cool! Did you run the skis under the flares, or butt them up to the flares?

They run underneath, though I did have to chop a good 8" off to fit the cut fenders - I think WH sizes them for uncuts.

Looks great!!! Did you paint the flares yourself or did you have them painted? What kind of paint did you use?

That sucks!!! I wanted white ones and they told me they only had black ones, that I'd have to paint them!

They did in the past, but not anymore. I used a plastic specific primer and a plastic specific gloss white on top of that with some careful prep beforehand.

Milo,

I could only find black, where did you see the white flares? I know they can be painted, but it'd be even better if they weren't at risk to scratch or chip off.

Adunham,

Nice rig, the color scheme is great. Simple and clean. How do you like those tires?

Love the tires, couldn't be happier. And NicksTrix - it's a very close match, now that I'm looking at it:) Just one of those toys that my dog never took an interest in.
