Very nice.......never get that dirty.

I'm sort of jealous although it would be a little overkill as my Chelsea tractor.

Further inspiration :laugh:

Cheers. Oh it gets dirty and has been on it's side but I try to look after it so it looks after me & lasts a long time! It's not been used properly for a year or so but will be next year with another Lakes Tour on the agenda!

That's awesome but you've screwed your fuel filler shut with that rear arch!

I'm guessing that was taken after you fitted them and hadn't yet cut out around the filler flap! Eager to get a piccie I'm guessing!

Why keep the same fuel filler hole??

Why wouldn't you? It would be a pain to try to fill the tank by any other means.

Exactly.

Have cut the filler flap to the profile of the flare so it opens fine. There is just enough room to remove the cap.

Just a suggestion really as the existing one is covered and if you take the risk of rolling you could possibly make it more secure somehow by relocating it. In the same vein I am very tempted to remove the door locks and fill the holes flush. I have seen LWB Vitaras with the rear doors covered by arch extensions and never to be opened again. Just thinking out loud is all. :whistle:

@ Kirkynut,

That first pic you posted, so sweet! you don't run any body lift do you? and do you have a rock lobster?

Ah brilliant! I never thought of cutting the flap instead of the arch! You've thought outside the box there!

iloveics- thanks! Yes I do have a rocklobster from Rockwatt. You need it with any reasonable sized tyres. I don't have a body lift though, just Bigjimny 3" lift springs & a spacer on the front offside to prevent the Jimny lean!

Neat.
