ParadiseMJ Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Here's my XJ w/TJ flares. Just a word of warning. Once done, you can never go back to stock... or even Bushwackers since fitting the TJ flares requires some serious cutting of the fenders, including cutting the pinch seam in the rear. After doing it, I had to rebuild the seam with some extra steel & a good biy of welding. If I had it to do again...I wouldn't. They look fine, but I'd drop the money on some Bushwackers or remove the flares altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500kalle Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Okay guys, great to See this pics to decide what to do!!! The flairs seems to fit Not very well, Right? They are to Short I think!! But I Need to fix other flares to Drive bigger tires and rims with more Offset!!!! So there must come another Solution!! In germany bushwackers will be to expensive, about 600$ a Set!!! :( Any ideas???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Could look at JK flares? Some of the FSJ guys have used them on their rigs (using only rear flares at all four corners IIRC). Once again though I don't think they would fit very well and are going to require a lot of trimming. Wrangler flares really only look good on other rigs if the body is already trimmed IMO (the red XJ as an example doesn't look too bad because of excessive trimming). The red one also looks like it might have used a total of 6 rear flares and no fronts to get the overall look to be closer to fitting the XJ shape. I would think if you were willing to get fancy with them, taking 8 rear flares would look decent if you only used the end that hung down longer and molded them together where you made the cuts line up flush.

500kalle Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 That Sounds good, but so I will get The Same Problem: It's to expensive, one complete (used) Set will be 120-150$, so Four Sets Would be 480-600$, nearly like bushwackers!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you all think about this: http://bit.ly/1cIZ8Dz Won't work. Those are for 4dr XJ's. You would need some for a 2dr and even then they may not work if they bolt up like stock flares. The 2dr Bushwacker Cutout flares work on the 2dr XJ and MJ's because you cut the body on both vehicles to fit the new flare, so in the end the wheel well opening is the same shape and size. Stock, they are very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal flare extensions from JC Whitney? http://www.jcwhitney.com/pacer-fender-flares/p3064973.jcwx?filterid=c13049u0j2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500kalle Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ya, I just thought about some universal extensions!!! Seems that Would be MY solution!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ya, I just thought about some universal extensions!!! Seems that Would be MY solution!!!! I can't find it on-line, but in their printed catalogs JC Whiney used to offer two versions of those. One was for cars, and extended (I think) 2-1/2 inches (about 60mm). The other was for trucks and buses and extended (again, if I remember correctly) 3-1/2 or 4 inches (around 80 to 90mm). It was available either as pre-cut lengths, or in a roll. If you can't find it, let me know. I may have a virgin roll of it tucked away in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incommando Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Anyone considering this: consider using 4 REAR TJ flares as the front TJ flares add another marker light ( or a hole where a marker light should be.Pics of this conversion often do not show the extra marker lights for some reason.) The rear flare fits the contours of the front wheel well better anyway. I trimmed all four wheel wells and flares and slapped them on in about thirty minutes. Someone taking their time could do a much better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'87 fuel-miser Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 have seen them used on the bed to "match" up with the 97-01 front end conversion ... pretty darn close ! :banana: . :MJ 1: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Using TJ front flares look like $#!& on a XJ. Using 4 rears looks nice on the contrary. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500kalle Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 You're right, but Even if I Take 4 rear once, they will be to short downside and that sucks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
