Wheel flares
« 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,

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.
