As far as I know they are still selling them and they are still advertised on their site. They are now coming unpainted though as they let their spray painter go. This means they are being sold for around $200 less than they used to be.

Strange.

Looking back, although I do like the DBOR ones, if I knew I was going to have to paint them myself before I ordered, I would have went with the Xenons.

I have an ARB which rises at the ends but I really think this style of flare look better with a bar that's straight and gives a large gap between the bar and flare.

I've been a busy boy the past few weeks...

I've installed some LED side repeaters into the mirrors as I've chopped the standard wheel arches. Feel free to comment and let me know your opinions.









Sorry for the terrible photos!

Also replaced every single suspension bush, front wheel bearings and upper and lower ball-joints. Just waiting for the geometry correction plates and new steering damper. Man that was an arduous task!! It drives like a new vehicle now. I used the Superpro KIT173K bush kit, all new poly bushes front and rear. Death wobble, gone! I didn't take any photos, sorry, I was too busy trying to get the job done!

Those side repeaters look great - how did you go about wiring them up? Did you run all the way from the flare side markers through the firewall? Was it difficult to fish for the wires in the mirror?

Thanks man

I drilled 2 x 20mm holes in the mirrors and soldered both black wires to a wire and both white wires to another wire, covered those 2 wires in loom tape and ran them through the mirror housing, into the door where I drilled another 6-7mm hole in the mirror cavity, then continued to feed the wire through the door panel avoiding the window, then down through the door loom and across the inside of the vehicle under the carpet to the main wiring harness from the body module (I think) for the indicators. It was time consuming and if I'm honest, if I'd known how long it would take me before I started i reckon I might've put them elsewhere!











Some more shots for you
