I originally didnt care for the buldge fiberglass fenders for the XJ but when i got a pair for $150 locally and knowing how much i can stuff those 32's inside them with a 4 inch lift, i love them to death

it looks like it could be done with light modification to the flare itself.. at least the ones from metal cloak since they are 2 pieces.... just buy the outside flare and you should be able to find a way to bolt it to the fender... it could be as simple as spacers for the ends..

step 1, get your self a bender, harbor freight special should work.
step 2, get a welder, a decent flux core mig will work
step 3, get some cardboard and sheet metal
step 4 built it your self for probably right around the same cost
