I just picked up a set of used bushwhacker 4dr flares from a fellow member (thanks Ryan!) and have some better ideas for mounting the jungle flares now... I can’t promise much action “soon”, but I can say it will be sooner than before!

 

Just got an e-mail from the company that the flares are back in stock.

 

I contacted them about installation and they sent me this:

Ran across these on ebay...

I'm sure you get what you pay for.

 

There are videos about installing these 4 door blazer jungle fender flares here:

Sometimes something is better than nothing. That's pretty much how I remember my attitude or my thoughts at the time. I installed them in my garage in the middle of a Nebraska winter all by myself it was not fun 3 of them we're okay and the right front one was not molded correctly and it was a bitch to get on. They were pretty thin to begin with, thicker would have made a difference. The right front got torn off by a tree while wheeling, left rear died in a grocery store parking lot...they managed to hit it in the middle above the tire, smashed it hard enough to make one piece into 2. I pulled it and attempted to patch/repair the glass and then filled that section with expanding foam for rigidity. The other 2 have survived but are not "pretty". If there was another product out there for our 4 doors I would seriously consider buying it. These things should have been made out of PVC or ABS plastic I don't know why they use fiberglass it was a mistake.

 

Nebraska Winter + Fiberglass Installation = Difficult Job for Sure!

Fiberglass is difficult to work with in the cold. I hope your garage was heated and you used at least a hair dryer as recommended.

Not trying to be argumentative, but it sounds like your flares would have been destroyed no matter what material they were made of after hitting a tree with one and being hit by another car on the other. At least fiberglass can be repaired by most people, where plastic can not be repaired so easily. For more rigidity, you can easily lay another layer of fiberglass on the backside where nobody sees it. It will be a lot more effective than foam insulation.
