I would say hi from the great white north , but you would laugh!
Here is my truck in progress right now.... .: 2002 suzuki XL-7 , Dana60&70 , 37" tires. I need fender flares. Anyone supply your flares in NorthAmerica?? I need some BAD. LOL
ps. if you buy a set, be sure to make a cast out of them to make your own design out of the material. I´m sure you could make a fortune by selling them slightly modified to fit more vehicles, I´ve had hundreds of people ask me where my vitara has its flares from, and they´re not that special at all!
Hello and velcome to the icelandic suzuki forum it should be cheaper for you to buy flares here in iceland. because og the dollar is higher than the icelandic króna. But I needed flares for a wrangler that I once had. and the kost me 50.000 ISKR that should be around be around 390 canadian dollars
You could also try "Bátagerðin Samtak ehf Víkingbátar" Tel: +354-565-1670 or +354-565-1850 The "+" is for the international out code from Canada, you must look that up on your end. It might be 011 but I am not positive on that. I got my fender flares from them and they did a very good job. But I have a Suzuki Sidekick Sport. I do not know if they make them for the XL-7 though. I agree with others here that it should not be super expensive for you to purchase items from Iceland because of the VERY week kroner to the Canadian dollar.
Good luck with your project, it looks nice but may I ask... How much do you think it is going to weigh in kilos after everything is done? The Dana 60/70 is really heavy. What gearing (ring and pinion) are you going to run? What engine are you going to run?
I did check out the exhange rate. 1 Canadian dollar is = 6 Kroner
Thats pretty strong buying power.
Did you know if they have an email address? I tried google search, nothing on email or a website. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My truck is almost done, just working on some master cylinder issues. Well trying to find a master big enough to stop 1 ton brakes in the front and 3/4 ton Discs in the rear.
The exhaust still needs to be done and then we will be doing a shakedown run.

Yes Samtak make boats, they also make hot tubs, custom fiberglas work and much more. I know of people that have goten hot tubs from them and are very happy with the workmanship on them, I am happy with the flares I got from them as well.
The Canadian dollar to the Icelandic kroner should be around 1 CAN to 116 ISK as of the exchange rate at the moment. That is extreemly good in regards to any items you purchase here. I can point out an international forwarding company if you would like that are stationed in New York. They do all import work for Fed-Ex in Iceland and a lot of work for Icelandair. I used to work in importation of vehicles from the US to Iceland some years back and did business with this forwarder, I never had a problem, not once. If you should decide to purchase items in Iceland and need them shiped to you in Canada.
Have you looked at a master cylender from a large Ford or GMC, perhaps even a Dodge. I would imagine that there should be a nice veriety at local salvage yards on those. At least I am pretty sure there are quite a few in the US.
What size exhaust are you planing on?
What are you planing on using your XL7 for mostely? (trails, rock climbing, snow, mud etc...)
