P1000m5 Windrock1000- She’s still sexy!

Should have added a disclaimer on true tire size. I like 15# in my roctanes and the come in at 28.5". Evos (for which I don't own but like) run a little smaller as I have read. @JTW is running Trail Armor skids so it will rub if he runs a true 28" tire with out lift or forward arms. I had to trim a good 1" to stop most of the contact. So can be right and wrong at the same time. I know the a-arms take a lot of time to dial in. I'm betting I've got 8 hours changing setups. I love how she seats now. Each setup is different. Political Correctness now! Thank you for keeping me straight. Had more than one Margarita today!

I'm runing S&S Fabrication aluminum skids.

How about 28's with no lift?

Ive run a 28 since day 1 with stock rims and didnt rub. But with the new skid driver front would at full left even with the lift. But aftermarket wheels it doesnt.

One big difference is the flat profile of Roctanes. They make contact with the plastic sooner than the rounded profile of the EVOs.

When I had 28" EVOs, they measured 28.25" but I can't remember at what pressure.

Mudbusters installed today. Nice fender flares. Took about 3 hours to install. Found it easiest to take the tires off when installing.

Looks good, Time to test them out!

Look sweet. How do they like the mud?

The other members that have them I've rode with love them. It was a good kit. For just over $200 it's a little high for plastic flares but it would have taken me forever to custom build. I will test this weekend! @PioneerPete and @joeymt33 have been running them for a while. They may have a comment on them.

Serpentine. Just keep going in a serpentine motion.
Lightning never strikes twice in the same spot so...... keep your eyes open!

Aren't they ridged? Looks like they could be trail litter given the wrong place.

Better than him putting out the No Vacancy sign for you!

Pretty ridgid. The way they mount up it would take the factory flare with it if you hook some thing wrong. Apparently you can order just one flare if you damage it badly. So the directions state.

Tough position.........

Heaven doesn't want him and Hell is afraid that he'll take over.............

I guess that we're stuck with him!!!!

I need to do something to the back.. I would just rather them have some give, like a stiff rubber.

Just wound him for being stupid for riding in a thunderstorm.

They give a little up and down but horizontally they are stiff- I guess to hold the shape. The front flares have 8 1/4" bolts on each side bolted to the factory fender. A person could use factory push rivets the would break away easier. You might use a 1/8 conveyer belt material. That was my first idea before I decided on giving these a try.

Belting works good for the fronts. Ive still got to figure out the rear design so it's functional and looks half way decent.
