What are your plans for flares?

 

looks just like mine. Just got it about a month and a half ago. With two teenage kids, my funds are limited too. I just went with ZJ coils and re worked the rear w/ donor leaves. Ended up with 3" Gonna run 31x 10.50 so i don't have to deal with the expense of gearing, for now.
most of the wheeling up here is hills and creek beds, so i'm trying to keep the center of gravity lower.

Nice work on the resto

 

Thanks I want to go with 33's but 35's look so good. I will for now stay with 33's due to funds and axles. Once I upgrade axles later on I will go up to 35's on about 5 inches of lift. This will be my DD for a long time so I dont want to go to wild out of the gate.

Steingass- Im going to do a the cut and fold on the rears and cut the fronts but not to crazy. I want to go with bushwacker but they are so expensive. I did how ever find some Ebay flares that look close to the BW flares at half the cost. I will have to wait until maybe christmas for something like that. Did you have something in mind. Just to throw this out there the more I see the BW flat flares the more Im kind of liking them.

 

I like the stock fender relocation. They can be had for free so no worries about ripping them off. This guy used 4 front flares and has a write up on naxja.

 

i just did cut and fold on mine a couple days ago. Turned out pretty good. Still gotta prep lower quarters and bed line.

Crescent beach??? I grew up in St. Auggie.

 

I folded my fronts too. makes it look cleaner when it matches the rear. I'm a sucker for flareless.

 

I trashed all my flares and hardware on day one. I would have to part some out. I do like the look of those but how do they look with the back quarter cut and folded? Do you have a link for the write up on that. Thanks

 

heres the link. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1081723

since you use fronts on all 4 you would just trim them as high or low as you need too.

your options for cut n fold flares is limited with the only ones I know about being these.

 

I like those and they are right where I want to fold up to. Do you know who makes those by chance?

 

That is a good write up and I do like the look of them. Im sure it wouldnt be hard to pull that one off with all the xj flares in the junk yards these days.

I will keep those in mind when the time comes. Thanks. I got nothing done on the XJ this weekend so monday Im all over it. Unless it rains the entire day I will get this done.

 

Well today I had a full 10 hours to work on it. I didnt get as much done as I would have liked but it is almost ready to drive. I hope to go get it registered friday and have her on the road. I cleaned all the windows on the outside but I still need to scrape the window tint off the inside and I was thinking of tinting it myself. I got the front end back together and removed the front bumper and painted it. I removed the rear bumper and my dad said he was going to paint it before I get back over there tomorrow. I got the two front door handles oiled and put back in and I seem to have miss placed the six screws for the rear two door handles. I will have to go to the junk yard tomorrow and pick some up. I need a driverside tail light if anyone wants to donate one to the cause I will be a happy camper. Here are a few pics.
