Rhino Fender flares

Installed the maxxis bighorns on the buggy and now it will sling the mud to all the wrong places. Noticed most of the rhinos in the pics have added the fender flares. What is the preferred type? seen utv had 2 styles with a noticeable price increase. I want one that works and i dont want to go cheap and still get the mud on and in the cab..

pros/cons/ recomendations?

Thanks
Rob

The Maier Flares provide the best coverage. You also need these. http://www.maier-mfg.com/shop.cfm?Product_ID=19031&page=details.cfm&cartaction=none&thisrow=39&action=list&criteria=301&startrow=31&mystartrow=31&maxrows=10&cat=&man=&stay=&afid=&searchcat_id=&itemprice=&searchfield=&searchman_id=&boolean=&var1=&var2=&var3=&makeid=20&modelid=265&modelyear=


Ask Clay at Bluegrass UTV if he can get them for you.

I have the Marie flairs. I love them. However, I like the new ones Clayboy is selling. If I have to buy another set it will be those.

i have the moose flares. instead of being color matched to the plastic they are a dark gray with a rough texture which hides alot of the scratches.

i have the yamaha fender flares i like them alot and easy to install

i have the old Hunterworks flares, probably the best flares to keep mud off of you, but he quit caring this style and they were way to damn expensive.....they have a piece that runs down the side for the front and the back.....work great

I got the Maires flares on mine. I like them very much...

Maiers all the way... and you can make the splash guards yourself by cutting up a truck mud flap what I did cost $10 works the same

The maiers cover just a tad more but for the price on these new ones, ya can't go wrong.

I've got a set of old HW flares and they work great. They look a little suspect to breakage but I've had no issues so far. I figured if I tore them up, I'd get a set of the Maier's but after seeing those Moose flares, I really like them!

I used the bolts form the doors to hold my in place. I don't understand why they are not made that way.


Take the door off. Line up the flap and mark two spots to drill holes. Then drill your holes reasimable and your good to go.

I added a few self tappers just to keep them right where I wanted them

I did the same thing. They work great.

my allen wrenches are solid, they dont have the hollow centers to take the bolts off the door. Where can i find the wrench to fit over the tit in the center ?

Serious replies only

Shawn , LT , what did you use, size ?

Use a set of vise grips on it. works great.

break the center piece in the bolt with a screwdriver

Harbor Freight has sets of the security wrenches for like $6 bucks I think. That's ballpark what I paid anyway.

I used a big set of pliers........easy as pie

Vise-Grips, Channel-Locks, pliers, all of the above will work.

got them on. it will not win no beauty awards but its on !

Hey - why don't you guy's do a poll and see who has what for Fender flares ! It might help a new guy like me decide which ones to buy ! Just my 2 cents worth !
