Hahaha very lol but it's a lot quieter than the glass pack, but still has a little rumble.

IMO flares are just a pointless expense in my experience out wheelin they always get hit and knocked off or rub the tires when your flexed and just get in the way so I'd rather spend the money else where on something more useful but that's just me lol I think if you get the right ones and do it right they look great they're just not for me

This is perfectly understandable. Trust me if I could run my rig with no flares I would be lol. The only thing is you also have to think about those of us who live in states where there are tire cover laws in place. A lot of us DD our XJs so we need something to accommodate larger tires and still keep it streetable.

I've seen em and they're awesome!! Should be a very future purchase for my rig. They're actually on sale by one of the vendors in the for sale section. I think with the CF discount they're around $350 + shipping......not to bad IMO

Depends on how much you've cut off I think. You gotta cut em up anyway to make them fit right.

This outlines the info on the install

Do get hit on trees, but they're flexible & bounce right back; have NEVER fallen off even though I've rubbed up against trees close enuff to shatter the rear windows & gouge the body ...
Doesn't rub while flexed: (32x11.50) nicely tucked. And besides: If I'm flexed like that offroad, I'll prolly have bigger things to worry about than my flares!




Regular (non-Rubicon) flares ...




And in case you think she never leaves pavement ...
33s, nicely tucked (rear). On this day, my stock bumper took a hit. My flares stayed put.
