Default Fender Flares

At southeast Jeepfest a few weeks ago, I scored a complete set of Bushwacher pocket style flares for dirt dirt cheap, in good shape, just need repainting...

but their for a 2 door XJ, not my 4 door. I'm still intent on using them. I'll make em' suckers work, I'm just curious if anyone has taken this route before and can share some insight?

Any and all feedback is appreciated!

I know they don't like rocks or tree's, Not at all flexible like stock flares.

X2, they are very hard and prone to falling off. But they also cover the tires very nicely.

On the line of the YJs, I had one and the flares were kinda "Eh"

However I saw 2 ZJs, one online and one in person with TJ flares.

I was looking for fender flares the other day and found some on Rusrtysoffroad.com. They are flexible and about the same price as the bushwackers. The do get riveted in though, not just bolted.
