LF - XJ Flares

[XJMike]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a more wallet friendly version of bushwacker cut out stlye fenderflares. I prefer this style than the flat style. Just thought I would ask before I spend hours surfing the web.

My factory flares arent cutting it, they are falling off and not wide enough (throws mud and snow all over itself)

Thanks,

Mike

Bushwackers tend to be tend to be actually quite fragile from what I have seen. Well I mean they will not take any rubbing against trees or rocks as they seem to crack. swhytie just posted his XJ today and he used TJ flares, I do not know how good they cover though but they look all right.

This, there is a reason they are nicknamed bushcracker.

There is Napier Precision (the ones you can drive over)..they look really nice but are also $450.

The bushwackers are $350 on Amazon.com

Im not to worried about cracking any of them, as I dont trail that hard...they are just more for keeping the crap off the jeep/asthetics.

The TJ Flares cover quite well actually...only thing is with the 8.5 lift there still is alot of throwback..would need good long mudflaps on the front...I just did the trim and bend and bolted them on..only trimming needed to the flare was a little to follow the contour just above the rockerpanel...ps I found my rear flares today..should be installing soon..will post pics
