JK flares on an XJ? I don't think they'd look right!

I'd run 2 sets of rears if I could, however I don't know how they'd mount up.

Maybe he means TJ, since the T and J are right next to the Y and K on the keyboard.

The nose narrows down so the front fender flares are wider at the front than they are at the rear in order to maintain even coverage
You would have to stick with the rear flares everywhere. People did that with TJ flares before so nothing new there

Thanks bro, yes it was just a typo sorry.
ehall, the JK nose seams a bit wider than the TJ, but great point. It would probably still angle out a bit...
I need wider flares and want to avoid bushwackers... Here in CA I am illegal as my tires are wider than my flares and the town I live in, Costa Mesa, the police are really strict so I want to just be in compliance...
Thanks again for the input fellas.

maybe some one could try and photoshop it :dunno:
photo shopping and fabbing tend to be vastly different in results.:gee:

Here's some very rough photoshops just to get a basic idea of how it might look:
rear flares on front and rear:
rear flares on rear, fronts on front:
rear flares on front and rear:
rear flares on rear, fronts on front:

I've seen it, I'm trying to hunt down the pic, but it looks HORRIBLE. Maybe it'd go well with a Silverado front bumper and brush guard, but then you'd need 33x15.5 tires and 3" back spacing........ on full widths.

I wish there was a way that 4 TJ flares could go on without doing a ton of cutting, I've seen a couple good rigs with them.

I think it would look fine if you cut them to look more like a flat fender. Then you can also have it flare only 3 to 4 inches instead of 6 to 8.

Doesn't matter how stiff they are IMO, if you put in some weak hardware to mount them up they'll shear off before really damaging the fender, hypothetically. The hardware I used to mount up my stock flares is real weak, I sheared a couple bolts simply by tightening them down too much with a 1/4" ratchet.
