Fender flares?

[GM-Comanche]

Anyone know if 97^ XJ rear flares will work on a MJ?

[flint54]

It is my understanding and my experience that front flares are interchangeable

between XJ and MJ, but rear flares are not.

[GM-Comanche]

Thanks ha, gonna do 97^ swap and wanted to keep from spending fortune on flares for them to match, ahh well ha i'll figure somethin out

The entire wheel arch opening on the MJ is both longer and taller than the XJ. For something that might look close to the shape/profile of the 97+ front flares, try YJ Wrangler flares.

:idea: Somewhere on the forum , there is a guy who sanded the MJ rear flares taking off the ridge nearest the body and the crease line smoothed away . Apparently the stock flare has lots of meat in those areas . The finished job looked very much the same as 97+ flares on the front . He also adapted 97+ tail-lights which really finished the update conversion nicely :thumbsup:

I know this may be off topic, and that the OP is looking to match 97 plus to the rear, but here's some pics I stole from somewhere of a guy who did a set off of a Chevy pickup.... modern looking and may be able make work with the 97 plus style.... just my 2 cents.

Those chevy flares look pretty good on there, lots of coverage for rusty box sides.

Wow, the Chevy flares look like a very good alternative for anybody wanting to open up the wheel archs.

[Incommando]

a TJ rear flare at each corner works well

What year are those Chebby flares?!? I'm really interested in those.

[dasbulliwagen]

Not sure exactly, but definitely in the 2000's era.

[GrizzzzBear]

I have seem others use the Bushwacker XJ 2 door Flares, looks decent.

I'm going to have to do some research. Those look slick on the MJ!

[Lee21490]

Someone find out what flares those are! lol

[benjy_26]

I remember havibg some similar to that on a company truck I used to drive at a previous job. IIRC, it was a 99 or 2000 Chevy K2500. I may be wrong, though. I have to hit the JY's next time I have a day off.

Under 60 bones a pop... Not bad when compared to other aftermarket flares.

That's just for one though. Ebay has sets of 4 for around $100~

 

They even have a "Rivet style" Version too

They don't fit.

 

Once again, the XJ rear wheel opening is smaller in both length and height than the MJ. 2-door and 4-door XJs have the same wheel opening and take the same flares.

I'm really tempted to order a set myself. Only thing is, idk if they'd cover my 12.5" tires. They look pretty flat on the body.

Get Bushwackers for the Chevy pickup then? They make some that just go out, not cut up the rest of the Fender I believe. I'm looking into doing the Notch customs flares for my truck. Same as Iceland off road, notch customs got their molds when they went under.

Okay someone stated that the XJ Bushwacker flares won't fit an MJ. What about these Bushwackers I want to order them but I want to make sure they will work. These are not the same ones are they?
