Default Bushwacker Fender Flares

Ordered them from quadratec 3 days ago, got them yesterday, put them on today and have to say the are SWEET. Im not saying they are 475 bucks sweet, but they are pretty cool. Outrageously over priced, but cool. I did learn that a 4 inch lift will NOT go well with 32 inch tires.. They rub like hell. I had to do it, and i didnt want to spend the money but it was needed! Got to say i love them, just wish i could have got them about 300 bucks cheaper...lol... Lifetime warranty though thats a plus!

OUCH!! That hurts in the wallet area. So long as your XJ looks cool. That's all that matters.

$475 is pretty steep, I am sure Bushwacker is very proud of their product.

I think Rusty's Makes a set that are pretty reasonable. I ran 33's with 5"s of lift and trimmed the fenders and relocated the factory flares. They looked good and a lot of people commented that they couldnt really tell.

But Bushwacker makes a good product and you cant go wrong with it.

bushwackers make the rig look sick. but be careful, they don't like the trees or rocks too well. i'm lucky, my tires stick out a couple inches past mine, therefore protecting them a bit. i've had em on for about 4 years now. haven't really broke them yet.

i got mine for 300cdn when a buddy went stateside a few years ago.
