looking for pictures that show bushwacker flares compared to stock flares. I don't think I really need the BW's for actual tire coverage on my 31x10.50's, but more for the look of the BW's. But, I also don't want to have the bw's if they stick too far out from the tires. I found a set for a decent price, so just trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger.

Which bushwackers they make two the flat flares and the pocket flares.

Take a look at the Napier Precision pocket flares. Not as huge as the bw but larger than stock with just as "tough" a look.

More interested in the pocket style. I will check out the Napiers

They open the wheel well up in width but not height.

Joshua White

Most flares on the market don't open height, some do.

Napier pocket flares open a bit in height, and a lot in width.

Have you seen notch customs fenders? http://notchcustoms.com/product/x-max-fender-flares/

So notch has taken over the Iceland Offroad then...lol

I knew there was at least one company that made flares that cut up and out, but last time I'd checked the Iceland wasn't around anymore.

I for one don't like the look of them on an XJ.

I always though they looked like factory flares just pushed higher and wider.

Joshua White

They might look like factory flares for a 97+ but not for an older generation XJ.

That makes sense.
