what size tires do you have?

It'll sling a rock ever once in a while. I havent had one hit the windshield but one or two hit my rock rails pretty hard. Probably the main issue running without flares is the sandblasting effect on the paint, its not bad it will dull the paint. Plus any water you run through gets thrown everywhere.


I plan on Line-Xing the body at some point so I'm not terribly worried about the additional wear on the paint. I realize this isn't a reasonable option for everyone but I plan on keeping my jk for a very long time.

I cut the fender brackets off.

Ha! Funny you mention that. Jeep needs a windshield now lol. Rock got the very bottom passenger corner and cracked about 16" towards dead center. As far as the insurance money........... Jeeps getting a 4" lift and 35s. And a smittybuilt src stinger front bumper. Then in a month or so it'll be getting xrc armor fenders.

Mik- what all have you done to your front axle to run the 37s? Was considering goin straight to them but I can't regear for awhile and don't have the down time to tear out the axle and gusset/sleeve/truss it.

I only had no flare for a brief amount of when I was putting on my flatties I was contemplating on leaving them off

Well after this weekend the flares go back on (but they will get trimmed). With the top down kept raining mud pellets at us and also through the windows, not to mention rocks.
