That looks just like mine!!! Oh Yeah!

Also, here in New Mexico it is still legal to drive sand rails, atv's, and other off road vehicles on road. So no I will not get a ticket for improper flaps/flares. On top of that, if a cop gives you a ticket for not having proper flaps/flares, he is the biggest ***** in the world and he wanted to screw with you... You were going to get a ticket no matter what

I live in a mountainous part of Oklahoma. They let vehicles like this drive on the highways

lots of dirt roads around here, and stupid big trucks with wicked offsets. and yes i did get $150 ticket. also what cop out there isnt a douche???? they all are.

when you go through a few windshields you'll understand. not to mention its hell on your paint, and impossible to keep it clean when its anything other than bone dry. but enjoy your "upgrade"

So how much of a difference is there between front and rear wheel spacing? How much narrower is the rear cuz i'm wanting the flush wheel look as well.
