dont make any flares except factory ones.... even second gen is hit and miss

aftermarket parts are much discontinued but wreckign yards, craigslist ect....

33x14 are you running spacers? And I was looking at jeep flares or like you said a older Toyota truck.

3.5 inch suspension lift (torsion modification and front diff drop)
2 inch body lift
15X8 5.5 backspace 99 Durango rims
1.5 inch wheel adaptor (on all 4 tires) was gonna go 2 inch but wasn't needed , as I can do lock to lock with no rubbing
33X14R15 Mud Boggers
Stock OEM Fender Flares and front tires stick out a lot


anyway looks like the older bronco II (ranger size) flares may work or older S-10 ect.... with a few mods ..
I tested some flexy flares on it but didn't like how it looked.

fabricated and modified what I needed.. I only lowered it an inch enough so axles weren't on high angle, but alignment is hard and will never be perfect, I added strips to the top of original torsion keys of which I found info on these forums, had to modify the bump stops and machine rides like a tank now.

now im working on a way to add a twin dampener for steering due to bump steer...

otherwise .. if you haven't seen it here is my tank:
