Thanks for the link. I need a wider set on our TJ. Every puddle of water I go through, some of it ends up on the side of the Jeep. With the wider tires, just a fact of life I guess. I like the price also,,, I have to re-check that link, to see if they fit without additional drilling of holes, as you have to do with some of the others. It would be nice if they just bolt on in OEM space/using same hole pattern. Thanks again,,

Thats the cheapest I could find them but all you got to do is ask gunner how good of a job wider flares does on my heep. I have the best top wide flares but Im going to the tj for a little more wheel space.

Ok, so the wider flares aren't really going to help me keep the TJ clean? Yea, I could see how turning, the front tires would still throw stuff. Phooey,,,, Ok, Gunner, the wider flares didn't work on his did they??
just never turn and you will be fine

Actually, what he has now keeps him pretty clean. We went through all the same places over the weekend and he barely had anything up top. Mine was covered with stock flares.

Yes, we have the stock flares at present, and yep, from the top down, it gets covered. I need to see another TJ with the wider flares to see how they look(and work). Me thinks I'm on a mission.... To Flare, or not to Flare!! :cool:

I do have the extra wide flares. I also have thornbirds though, and they throw ALOT of crap around. I pissed off some people at the gas station today because I used on of the window buckets to clean a couple windows off this afternoon. Gonna give her a good wash on Friday.
Edit: You may/may not be able to see from the pictures that the knobs on my tires stick out past the extended flares. All in all for daily driving they're awesome. I can drive in the rain with the doors off and get nothing on me, even during turns. Just can't do it mud-doggin.
