I would go with the flex flares if I went with another fender flare.

At $90 a flare, thats only $10 less per flare than bushwackers, and bushwackers look a LOT better.

An RC lift and a Rusty's trackbar !!!!And a Rugged Ridge steering set-up.

My Rancho lcas and the Teraflex bushings I installed to quiet them down. I'm sick of the squeaking. Shoulda bought JKS with rubber bushings. The Ranchos are hella strong but they are too rigid so the bushings do all the flexing.

Buying a Jeep from the dealership - shoulda gone with 2x the miles at 1/3 the price.

Spending about a grand on a stereo system before i started wheeling. Could have got a long arm setup instead of riding like a dump truck. Loudest Jeep in town though.

Really? I'm about to buy some bushwackers. Are there cheapo knock offs out there? If so anyone have a link?

bushwackers break, rusty's flex fenders do not. you only buy 1 set of flex flares and they last as long as you own them.

Dealer.

Part # 5511-5020

I bought one in 2007. Not a bad price but I do not remember how much.

I solved all my cup holder issues by swapping in a center console from the 97+ Jeeps.

My biggest waste of money on my DD: Rancho RS3000 shocks instead of the Napa specials.

My 31s. No, my 33s. No, my 35s. Shit, I should have just gone straight to the 36s!

Marriage.......Just kidding honey!

Every other vehicle I've owned.
80's GMC Jimmy (even though it was free!)
1990 Cheby Corsica (POS needed more in parts than car was worth) I did make $5 hauling it to P&P after gas to get it there.
1994 Merc Grand Marquis (REALLY starting to HATE Ford's)
All three of the others have Wife's DD.
She takes the Jeep when others have been down, or when it snows.

tj flares, race ace hood vents, and a 3 core radiator(the single core aluminum one from alumrad.com is sooo much better).

AW shifting manual shifter. Shifts on its own, very scary, and thats only one of the problems!!
