Will these fit my SJ ?

Post by The Bird Man » Tue May 21, 2013 11:05 am

Hi chaps, just wondering if I could have your thoughts on these. Will they fit my SJ, personally looking at them I think they would but I just want to run it by you lads first before I buy and make an expensive mistake. Also what interests me is how come they are so cheap compared to the £120 set when I don't see any difference. Thanks in advance :D

I believe quite a few people use those land rover type wheel arches... anything can be made to fit ;)
Personally they are a bit square-ish for my liking

Yeah I've seen a few SJ's with them on and I do like the look of them. They do go well on an SJ. Haha, that's very true, anything can be made to fit with a bit of effort ! Never crossed my mind with with them being rigid and not flexi, to be honest I'm mainly going to be using it for road use and green laning so them being rigid wouldn't bother me a great deal, at the moment that is :D Has anyone got a pictures of their SJ with the square wheel arches on please ?

I think they're cheap because they are made of GRP, fibreglass, so will self destruct pretty easily.
