I needed flares to fit (and cover) my new 35's. The flats were just the trick and came out looking like they are part of the jeep from the factory. Nice product for the price. Thanks, Doug!

That is a nice XJ! I always like the black/white combination. Thanks for posting and for including setup details.

Is there a cut and fold option available in either flare for the 84 - 96 xj's? Thanks.
Thanks for the question. Just to be clear, you're asking about flares for Cherokees with the lower rear quarter panel cut and folded (QF). Guys have used our QF flares for the 97-01 on the older body style and they have done okay. We believe there is a bit more trimming required to get a perfect fit. If the rear wheel opening is already trimmed they may not fit correctly since the wheel opening on the 84-96 is wider. When you order be sure to let us know the flares are for the older body style so you get the closest fit.
Yes. That's what I was referring to. I've already done a trimmed stock flare and fender and plan on doing the quarter cut and fold when I do the flares since I'm going to 33's on 2.5" lift. My rear fender is cut almost like your instructions show for the 84 - 96 install, maybe a bit more on the sides and a bit less across the top, so let me know if you think that's too much. I can definitely handle customization, although I don't weld, so I don't mind making it work if it'll look decent. If not, do you feel the regular flare for the 96 can be trimmed for the QF? Fwiw I am wanting maximum clearance so the 96 flare may b best for me since the 97+ is a smaller opening to start. It seems from the pics it is hollow to a degree so I would need to epoxy a piece to the cut end to close it up but it appears as though it could be done.

Great photos. Provided exactly the info needed. From what I'm seeing our QF Flares will work fine for you. They also provide more opening width. Remember to let us know this is for an 84-96 XJ. The door piece is a different cut.
