Abstract
A removably attachable fender flare system has an inner flare and an upper flare and a lower flare, which are removably attachable to the inner flare. The upper and lower flare may have traction protrusions to provide traction to free a stuck off-road vehicle. The inner flare may be in direct contact with and coupled to the off-road vehicle, providing a location to secure the upper and lower flares. The upper flare and lower flare may couple to a groove, which runs the length of the inner flare, from front to back. Further, the lower flare may couple to the upper flare, securing the fender flares.
Claims16
A removably attachable fender flare system for freeing an off-road vehicle, the system comprising:
- an inner flare for coupling to a fender of an off-road vehicle;
- the inner flare comprising a securement mechanism;
- an upper flare and a lower flare removably attachable to the securement mechanism of the inner flare;
- at least one of the upper or lower flare comprising traction protrusions;
- wherein the lower flare further comprises a first lower flare side and a second lower flare side, the first and second lower flare sides comprising a lip that extends the length of the of the first and second lower flare sides;
- and
- wherein the lip of the lower flare is couplable to the securement mechanism of the inner flare.
A removably attachable fender flare system for freeing an off-road vehicle, the system comprising:
- an inner flare having a groove running the entire length of the inner flare, the inner flare couplable to a fender of an off-road vehicle;
- an upper flare couplable to the inner flare, the upper flare comprising:
- a first upper flare side and a second upper flare side, the first and second upper flare sides comprising a lip that extends the length of the first and second upper flare sides;
- traction protrusions on an upper surface to provide traction to the off-road vehicle when placed beneath a tire;
- a lower flare coupleable to the inner flare, the lower flare comprising;
- a first lower flare side and a second lower flare side, the first and second lower flare sides comprising a lip that extends the length of the first and second lower flare sides;
- traction protrusions on an upper surface to provide traction to the off-road vehicle when placed beneath a tire;
- a lower surface comprising cavities that receive the traction protrusions of the upper flare so as to secure the lower flare to the upper flare at an angle;
- wherein the upper flare and lower flare are removably attachable to the groove of the inner flare.
A method of freeing an off-road vehicle using a removably attachable fender flare system, the method comprising:
- removing a fender flare from a fender of an off-road vehicle;
- using the removed fender flare as a recovery board;
- once the off-road vehicle is freed, reattaching the removed fender flare to the fender of the off-road vehicle.
