1997-2001 XJ to MJ fender flares

[JimB]

This is my first post so please bear with me. I have been doing the 97+ swap. Everything is almost complete except the fender flares. The front flares from the 1999 Cherokee donor were a simple swap. 

The rears are totally different. I knew that from reading this forum for years. However while holding the flares up to the body it appears the forward half matches the contour of the bed. When I swapped the LS and RS flare, the rear half matched the contour. Has anyone tried cutting the flare in half and bonding them back together? Will take two flares to make one.

Has this been done before? Any tips or pictures?

short answer: yes.     long answer: I don't remember who did it so I'm not of much help in locating the particular thread.   it was a few years ago though.
