Tell me about your fender flares. I hear tell they're flexible, and if someone can confirm, I'm going to start scanning junkyards.
Trooper guys!

Mine is old enough it didn't come with them, and I don't have enough offset to need them to pass inspection!
I can ask the planetisuzoo forum for you, though. To clarify - you're wanting Isuzu factory but flexible to work on your Montero, right?

They started appearing on Troopers in '96. They are "flexible", but I wouldn't say that they would conform to a different shape without becoming distorted.

I do not. I ran across a fella who bolted up a set to the factory flares on his 3rd gen 4Runner.
They look a little janky tacked onto his OEM flares, but I bet they'd look a little better on the naked fenders of my 1st gen. I hear tell you can score them at the junkyard for lots cheaper then Flexy Flares and they look about the same, so I thought I'd see what's up.
That's discouraging though. I might try them anyway if I can find a set for cheap.
No. Just no. You keep your Jeep Thing away from me.

Agreed. That doesn't look much better than edging.

Derp... I was looking at sixstringsteve's avatar as I wrote that. Haha. Apologies.

now THAT'S a good looking fender. You could even build some flat panels out if you needed more tire coverage. I always wondered why more people didn't do that. Those bends look tricky though.

There is a Trooper with flares out at Pick-n-Pull right now. And I think a few are Tear-a-Part and Pull-n-Save.
Sure is, on a fellow RME member's truck, who doesn't frequent the site much anymore.
You can't tell, but there is a fairly consistent ¼" gap the whole way along the tube and fender.

i used some off a 2000 Nissan Frontier. I installed them on my Range Rover. They are pretty flexible and seemed to fit it pretty good.

Since it's in the same vein.... Chocflip, could you do sliders? And bumpers? For a '92 Trooper?
