i want to put Bushwackers on my 98' and bushwacker says they will only fit on XJ's up to 1996. has anyone ever put them on a 97+? and if so could you post some pics please?

i think they do fit but you just got to trim the molding on the fenders or something like that

Yeah they fit just fine. Before I purchased my Bushwhacker I called them to make sure they would fit. They said the only reason why they don't advertise them to fit all years of the XJ is because of all the trim molding you have to cut to make the fenders look right. You have to trim the front plastic bumper corners, the back plastic bumper corners, and the side molding if you still have that on. I just removed the side molding pieces.
