I am in need of a new set of flares for my current project (fiberglass ones installed are just a touch too rough to re-use!) Kind of hard to turn down the black friday sale they are having over there right now! Truck is going to be a street truck at best but will be running 33's with a 2.5" lift. Looking for pics of war flares installed in the "standard" location so I can get an idea just how much more I will have to cut if I go with them. So please post up those pics of your gorilla war flares installed!!

Here are 2 shots. The first is cut for the War Flares, but flares not installed yet. Second is with flares installed (obviously) :)

3.5" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 33x12.50x15 tires

No lift and 35". Cutting that fender was a difficult decision to make.

If you want to do some measuring, I just mounted mine yesterday. The install looks the same as the other pics. I came down 2" off the bodyline front and rear, then you need to come down another 1.5" to mount the flare.

That's my combo. 2.5" lift, 33s, and Warflares :D

I must've just lost contributor status so...there's a few pics in my gallery of the 77 with the set-up.

Thanks for the pics guys! I guess I could always pick them up and if I don't like the way they look pass them on to another bronco owner for a deal!

Might not be a bad idea! Might just have to squirrel them away with the rest of the parts I am stashing for a trail truck I plan to build one day!

I don't think you will be selling them. I love the way they look on mine. I thought about getting the silver-backs but unless your running full width axles and really wide tires stick with the gorilla's. As you stated if you don't like them you will have no problem selling them here.
