Yes I have them on my 01. It is not to hard to do. The instructions are somewhat overwhelming at first. I wouldn't pay to much attention to them. Just cut conservitively until you can hold the flare against the body (the inner lip on the flare won't fit into factory fender oppening) position the flares to your liking and mark your mounting holes. After that it is just a matter of drilling the holes and installing the self tappers to hold the flares on. Good luck, Eric

...............Yes The fronts go on easily,but the rear does take some custom creativity but it is very possible and turns out well

I put them on my 86 XJ, looks killer now for wider rims and tires! I called Bushwacker and asked them what size lift and tires they had on the XJ in their ad and they said 4" and 35" tires no problem.

Im installing TJ flares on my XJ, the front is pretty straight forward, but when cutting the rear be sure not to cut the pinch seam between the wheel well and the body sheet metal, otherwise your going to have to bust out the welder. No fun at all.
