Dayn - I would really like to see the Brat when I'm in Missoula for dec./jan. I also want to meet up w/ Nels. Maybe we should plan a small get together if you are down.

 

Those flares look good bro!

 

P.S. - Do you have any sources of Pug's in MT?

 

Thanks! :cool:

 

Yeah! We need to get Nels back from Oregon and goto Painted Rocks! (SW of Darby up the west fork ... about 3 hours from Msla) It's a huge dry lake bed with tons of mud and stumps to jump ... hesitant to do it solo ... don't wana get stuck :o

 

I know annother guy that might go, but you will have to forgive his sacralige :-p

 

He has a hatch on top of a 4-runner frame and a small block 302 turning 33" buck-shot mudders:headbang:

 

If you need pugs, check with A&T auto in East Msla ... they sold me five 14's for $62! :drunk:

What kind and how much of a lift are you running on your Brat? I think those fender flairs look great! Where did you find them? Also, I dig the "teeth" on the front of your rig! Kurt

 

3" mudrat lift (Thanks again John!) And the flairs are from a nissan PU, I just pulled them from a rig in the JY and after opening up my fenders an extra 1 1/8", bending the 1" tabs I cut back to make it a strong edge, I just started at one end with the flair and anchored it with a pop-rivet (oh ... first I cut the over-sized flair in half)then I cut it a little longer than the middle and forced the flair to conform to the much rounder shape of the fender, and pop-riveted my way to the 1/2 mark, cut the flair so it was plum with a verticle line centered on the hub. Then I just matched back half by cutting it down to an estimated length and joined them at the middle backed with a piece of sheet-metal. The only problem is I ran out of rivets and used screws to finish, and I have to replace some of the screws still, but I don't think any of them are close to being dangerous to the tires, and I have trimmed alot that might be close.

 

Thanks, I love the teeth too :D still waiting to get that Oct. copy of Subie Sport with a pic of the teeth in it :brow:

Not too much trimming. . . Just cut the fold a few times, bend it over. Then beat back the firewall some.

 

Kewl, thx Zapar :) ... I just discovered where they're still rubbing in the back ... the strut! :banghead: ... oh well, I don't think that will do too much damage, mainly I am cleaning and painting the metal I folded back ... finnaly a warm day to paint! :banana:
