A while back I had seen a XJ with Explorer Flares and it looked very clean.
Any one have any other flare kit they are using other than the TJ or YJ kit?

These might work:

How about these for a 2 door:

Any one done anything like this?

I'm trying to find some better fitting flares without spending a ton. I keep losing the stock ones at random times, I just lost a front flare on the way to Moab and I was sure the flares were on tight.

I'd want flares that match the boxy lines of the XJ, so the Explorer and Trailblazer won't do

I've been thinking the same thing. I haven't taken any measurements but the H3 flares look like they may work. Or the stock flares on a new Sterling (Dodge ram) 3500 HD.

OMG STOP YELLING.

I think the explorer sport flares are too round and bubbly for the XJ, but I have seen the Jeep with them on and it didn't look too bad. Took a lot of fabrication from what I remember.

I think I'll be going with Rusty's flex flares eventually. Pricey, but they are the best looking IMO.

TJ flares have worked out good for me. If you take your time they can look pretty good. If you are lucky enough to get rubicon flares they work better in the front because they are wider then normal TJ flares. The back normal TJ's easily cover my 12.5 inch wide tires on 3.75 BS

That looks pretty good. THey are round but they are almost semicircular so they match the curve of the wheel

I agree with wink. These flares look the best.
The bottom picture has the best tj flares I've seen so far.
