Does any one know who makes fender flares that involve no cutting? I'm not sold on cutting up my cherokee.

Why do you want to swap flares? If you want different flares from stock, all the ones I know involve cutting. The reason is that most people swap flares to make room for larger tires. Larger tires often require trimming to avoid rubbing. It won't hurt the Jeep ... trust me, I agonized about it for almost a year before I gave the Jeep to someone to trim the front. I left so I didn't have to watch & almost cried when I returned and saw my sheet metal on the ground (I'm a girl, I'm allowed to cry). But I've never looked back - glad I did it, and also did the rear myself. It looks great with TJ flares.
