Nissan Pathfinder Wheel Arches/Flares

Anyone ever tried these for fitment on one of our trucks? The first gen Pathfinder went from '86 - '95 and it would seem the arches stayed the same for that duration - I guess that's why I noticed a bunch of them in the junkyard.

C'mon, I can't be the only one to have ever thought of this, can I?

The second gen Pathfinder might be a possibility too, although I don't think the forward end of the front flare reaches down far enough to meet the bumper unless maybe you located the whole arch down further, covering up more of the well opening....

When most people want to put flares on, they get new ones designed for their truck, like Bushwhacker or Lund.

Damn, who would have thunk it!!!!!!!

I know I would much rather have something that actually fits, rather than some cobbled up junk!!!!
