Fender flare opinions
I have a 97 Wrangler TJ and I'll be lifting it (3-4 inches) and going with
33x12.5x15 tires soon. My question is does anyone have any advice on any of
these replacement flares to avoid or which ones are the best? I made this
list from a recent 4wheeldrive hardware catalog.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dennis

$299 Bestop Fender Flares
$495 Bushwacker Rubicon Pocket Style Flares

Re: Fender flare opinions
I've owned 6" and 7" flares from Warn, Tera (same as Warn's), and
Bestop, and have installed Bushwacker pocket style flares on many Jeeps
in my job. The only two brands I can recommend from a toughness point
of view are Warn's, followed by Bestop's so far as good quality and
looks go. Bushwackers are pretty cheap and tend to pull off over the
mounting bolts if they get snagged on a trail obstacle. Xenon's are
just too proud of their name and it's molded right onto the side of them
which is just tacky in my opinion. Avoid Warn's 7" flares, they're just
too wide. I'd go with either Warn's or Bestop's 6" flares if it were
me. Oh, I currently have Bestop's 6" flares on my TJ and they're really
nice.

Re: Fender flare opinions
tks Jerry. You and everyone (almost) :) on this NG are awesome.
I hope to have the build up done by the end of April. My goal is to post a
web site or a brief msg about what I did and my experience with it. Now, if
I can just get that last couple of Benjamins rounded up....
