Default 98 XJ

I see lots of fender flares for Cherokees up to 96 and not any for 98--will the ones that fit the 96 fit the 98? Will it take alot of measuring & cutting to get them to work? Thanks for the info!

Body style had slight changes after 96, thus the flares also changed. Fender curvature is a little more pronounced on post 96 XJs. HTH

Bushwackers will fit. I simply shortened the screws so they wouldn't pierce the wiper fluid reservoir on my 97.

The Bushwhackers work fine, watch the washer jug and the rear bumper end caps will need trimmed.
