2 door bushwacker flares on a 4 door?
I found a pair of bushwacker fender flares on craigs list for $175 but they are for a two door and i own a four door. They will fit if i cut the rear ones where the door seam is right? i just want to make sure before i buy them. All help is welcome. Thanks!

if you cut bushwhackers, they'll be as flimsy as a wet noodle.
the wind alone will probably snap them off.
if you do buy them, and cut them. make sure you reinforce them somehow.
personally, for the price of them, i wouldn't waste my cash on hoping it'll work. unless you get them for next to nothing.
bushwhackers are known for breaking all the time. on proper installs.

bushwackers just give your jeep that rugged look for the streets when your drivin around. i would take them off when your on the trails. cause as stated before they are known to break.

if your tires stick out past the bushwhackers, you'll be ok.
i've had mine on for a few years, and wheeled the tightest trails, some where you have to use a tree as a pivot point against the rear tire.
i haven't broke one yet. but i know a few others where the wheels don't stick out, and they've torn theirs off a few times.
just be sure you don't use nuts on the backside, you want the bolts to be able to rip out of the fender, so they don't tear through the bolt pockets on the flares.
