Title: Wheel flares
Post by: IrishCJ6 on June 30, 2013, 08:57:20 PM: Anyone got any ideas on what to use to make wider flares for my CJ6, the old truck got a little dirty today after a mud run and the interior got a thrashing,

Post by: Dutch on July 23, 2013, 07:58:03 PM: Hope it does the trick. CJ Rear wheels flinging mud to the inside of your wind screen is no fun. That's why I religiously fly the rear cover when playing.
