sorry, dunno what's going on, it'll work if you cut and paste into your browzer.

Are those cut out flares??? Didn't know they made them for the Wag!

[mtn goat]

That looks nice!!! are those for a little jeep and made to fit yours?/? or do they have some large ones now. and the big question....HOW MUCH

[dnixon]

yeah where did you get those??? what are they supposed to be on.. i actually think they look pretty good!!! I don't like those on most vehicles but you did a very good job.. it looks as if you can't get into your rear door.. is that the case??? Good job looking good....

[Heimeken]

These are for an XJ and I cut to fit. They are very close. the rear ones are 2 piece. I'll have better pics when I have time to put a page together. very $$$$. $344 from Summit.

[Bob Barry]

Very nice!!! I would like pics of the rear ones. Do you have a part-#???

[Andrew]

Could be a better replacement for those of us with rusty WT flares

[blt2krl]

I thought those looked like XJ flares. Nice job

[The PIG Smith]

WOW! Nice Rig!
Did you swap in a set of WT axles or do those large tires just fill up those Bushwacked fender wells?

[turtlejoe]

Trimming required? Or would they fit WT openings (minus flares of course)?

Great job; the look goes with the truck for sure.

[cywagoneer]

Very nice!

Would love some close ups of the rear especially.

What size tires you running?

[Heimeken]

I'm running 35" tires on WT axles, that is why they fill up those flares pretty good. I have 9 inches of lift and I still rubbed tires on extreme situations, this should fix that. I cut approximately 2" of fender all around.

The part number is 10911-07. There might a more appropriate set that are not two pieces in the rear for those with Cheros. These set mounts partially on the door, but I assume it would look ok either way.

Thanks for the thumbs up, I really took a dive into this one hoping I could make it work. There's just not that many options for those of us with Wagoneers and big tires. This suits me well smile.gif

I'll have some detailed pictures up in a day or two.

[nightflyers]

that is sweet!!!

[Hump]

The fit looks great. Though I must admit, I liked the NT "tractor" with the WT axles hanging out the sides!

[Frank in Norway]

Looking very good, almost like they were made for FSJ's

[Sundowner]

I wonder if they'll fit on the 2-door.
we don't need the split flares in the back for the door opening. I hope the make a set for the 2-door XJ's. Sundowner want. :D

[Heimeken]

I know what you mean Hump, that did look cool. But now I've got mud-in-my-face protection smile.gif

Heres a page I drummed up last night with more detials.

[bvibert]

Those look really good! Like they were made to fit!

[Panther]

Very nice!

[tc]

Nice!

[country boy]

They look great like they were made for FSJs.

[krob725]

NICE :D

[irbob]

Jaime...looks great...you da man. By the way are those tail pipes still connected to the leafs? :D LOL Have a good one buddy.

[maverick]

I like the scooby-doo air freshener!

[Heimeken]

funny u should mention that bob. When I fueled up at Durango on the way back from Ouray. I went back there to see what was rattling. The tailpipes were dangling all over the place. Seems I lost the brackets one of those days, that's why they were so "flexy" smile.gif

Good to hear from you Bob.

[garoo_one]

going to hafta get me some of those beauty

[jeepguzzi]

Man, those look good!! Nice job! I wish I could have some wide flares!! OH, wait! I already do!!!!

Really, good job, you have done something that alot of guys were afraid to do and are now going to copy.

[Heimeken]

Don I have it down in my calendar, I'm planning to be there. Who knows what I will have worked up on the wag by then smile.gif

guzzi, I carefully measured and compared my wheel wells with my niece's XJ. I ordered them from Summit cuz they're real good about taking stuff back that doesn't fit. It was risky. I'm so glad they worked and I certainly hope it catches on. Gives the wag a more up-to-date look, and I really needed the clearence.

[turtlejoe]

I read up on the flares and they do offer a set for the 2 door XJ. One of the things I liked the best was that there is no need to treat the flares before painting, except to scuff and then shoot. They do look good, and it's nice to see that the contour differences aren't that great. I imagine cutting off my old ventilated WT flares would be all the cutting I'd need to do ... thoughts?

[BIG BAD JON]

Dude, nice find. And thank you for the informative page! Make sure you dont move that sucker, because Im putting it in my favorites!

[BIG BAD JON]

Oh, I dont know why I forgot to mention this, but the other day when I was at Orscheln's(AKA Atwoods), I found some metal Jeep-Style trailer fenders. If cut and bent right, they could be used as fender flares. Just thought I would share that with you guys.

[Sambo]

lookin good...did ya'll enjoy the guadalupe mountains?

[trailsforus]

So what exactly would I have to buy for my N/T 2 door cherokee. Later on prolly about summer I want to buy W/T axles but would like to have these flares on my jeep before. Back before I got a FSJ I wanted a xj and always loved those flares. Since I dont have the 4 doors it would be alot easier right. Also what size tires can I fit on a N/T jeep with no lift. thanks

[johnwaynejeep]

Man those look sweet. Thats another "must do" on my next rig.

[Heimeken]

Sambo,

The mountains were great, thanks for the tips on the trails. We did Soldier Springs and that was a cool trail. I'll send you an e-mail.

Trailforus, on a previous post on this thread someone mentioned they found the same flares for the 2 door XJs (are they also XJs?). That would be the best for u I think. I think you can stuff 33 inch tires once you do the cutouts and install the flares but maybe 32s are safer if you plan to do some hard wheeling.

[RamJetFSJ]

I would put these on in a second, if I wasnt so afraid my little 32s on NT axles would look stupid in that big wheel well. Time to find some full width axles!!!!!

[2nd Day]

sweet flares....i need to find some for my rig, theyve been trimmed in the past...ideas?

[desert_freak]

Wow those look great! Job well done. I'll have to print out a picture of your rig for my uncle that is looking for a rig and give him some ideas.

P.J.
