Ok just finished my Y-link setup and installed my new 35" Yokahama Geolander MT's and Cragar soft 8's.Though I would try the Yokahama's and see how they work.Took my flares off going to go with Bushwackers or flarless if I get use to it.

Looks good man.

Jennifer has stock flairs on her's still. I'm not thrilled with how much dirt and mud gets flung up on the sides...and we haven't even taken it anywhere too special yet. As soon as we can get some Bushwackers we're going to.

I've heard bad things about the durability of bushwackers.

I agree with the Bushwackers being crappy. I am going to save up money and time to do some "tube" fender flairs.

I might research some other options like a flat fender flare from metal kinda thing?

That is what I am going to end up doing. Flat bar from my front bumper to my sliders.

Come on... Its more fun to have 3 or 4 projects going at once... that way when it comes time to take a trip you will have plenty of things to finish.

Well....hhmmmm.....

My only goal was to keep the sides of the XJ clean. I didn't even conceive of breaking them. I mean, why would I do that? :spin1:

Let us know how those geolanders perform. I've always wanted a pair but I don't really see too many rigs wearing them.

Thats kinda why I got them to be diff and the price also helped!I will give a report when I go wheeling.

Bushwackers are hard plastic and instead of absorbing impacts they crack. I have heard that TJ flares work great. I am about to some Rubicon flares on my rig. They are sitting in the shop waiting for some spare time!

I thought about that but not sure if they wil cover the metal already cut out

TJ flares are hidious though. I'd rather go flareless.

ppfffffft

It's all just taste and personal preference. If something could be done about that HUGE gaping hole in them. :)

All high performance cars have those for cooling down the brakes. Mine are just up a little higher than on italian and german sport cars.
