| 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 | |

| 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 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'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. | |

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