Lots of pics....but you will see how nice they look.....cheers...get them!

Bushwackers all the way.....OEM coverage.....best quality fenders out there IMO.....Love mine....

Remember though, I have my Spider tracks 1.5inch spacers on here too, so my tires stick out a bit....

Nice looking rig rubisteve... The flares are certainly a part of it but great looking JK all around.

They look great, the install is very easy. took me 3 hours or so to do 3 flares and 2 of those hours were spent figuring the first one out Easy stuff.
Yeah, I will admit mine did sag during the last few hot days here...but I actually just welded a few pieces of 3/16" steel to the OEM mounting bracket in the front and now they are perfect....and now you can actually lean on them without feeling like they will fall off!

P.S. bcboy1969: What rock rails are you running? They look great on your rig!
Smittybilt SRC Side Armor ...not bad but I had to work on the front drivers mount to get it right..

What did you use to cut the pinch seams?
Just a hacksaw could have used a power tool but I was trying to get it done without the wifey seeing it...lol...I cut it a 45 and about 2" up and ran it through the spot weld..then rust proofed it 2 coats..then Bed lined it just about a inch in so everything was covered..you have to really look at it to see it's not factory.

Hell, sounds more rust and bullet proof than factory ever wished it was! LOL, nice job once again. Looks great.

Narrow Xenon Flares. The coverage is about 1.5 inches less than stock. I dont know how wide the Bushwackers are, but I'm pretty sure they are wider than the Xenons.
