I got a set of Napier flares used. Super good deal, and I finally finished them up. I ended up finding some rust hidden by the rear bumper caps, but it's all fixed now. Lots of articulation room, but I personally don't think they look to big.
Pics in a few minutes.
Hopefully next weekend I can go wheeling

sorry, they're a little dark

What you guys think?

Looks great dude. I really like the look of them over the bushwackers. It's funny you said you found rust in that spot. It must be common. I just did my buddies fender trimming and we found rust on his white xj in the same spot.

Tate

I personally love them. They really open up the wheel wells, but don't stick out too far or make my 31s look to small. About the rust, it wsn't too bad. Wire brush wheel and some paint. Just glad I found it before it was too late.

I've been tossing around the idea of going 4.5 with 33's but I really think I'm going to stick to 3invhes and 31's. And that is the one thing I was worrying about I didn't want the flares to over power the tires but your right they do look really good. Did you find them on the forum used? Or local

Tate

I'd love to have my Jeep jacked up another couple inches with bigger tires, but I am completely happy and intend to stay at 3" lift w 31s. After 3" of lift I think too much money and additional parts are needed. I bought them from flexj01 here on the forum. I know of another used set for sale. I can PM you details if you want

Tate

The flares were a super good deal. I haven't bought anything for my Jeep for full price except for tires lol. Lots of eBay/ Craigslist shopping

Yeah I'm def looking for set if you know of someone selling a set let me know.

I've always run 3inch lifts on my Cherokees and never had a problem. It's really the best height Imo.

Tate

I sent you a PM. Lmk if you find flares. I'm definitely happy with my lift. What brand do you usually go with? I haven't taken my Jeep on any real wheeling trips yet, but I'm planning to in the next couple weeks. I'm excited to see how(or if) it flexes.

My 95 has a series 2 rough country 3 inch. I plan on getting the same thing for my 2000 but this time around I'm going to go for the full leafs for the rear. My build thread is "2000 xj new jersey style"

I got your pm btw, thank you very much I appreciate it.

How does your 3in rc lift feel when driving? rough?

Tate

Same exact lift as mine. Yes I've been looking at your build. Very clean, and I love the color. I believe you said you've been using duplicolor rubberized undercoating. I used the same for my wheel wells. I like it.

Tate

It isn't bad. It actually drives better than when it was stock because my old leafs were shot. It is definitely still a Jeep with rear leaf spring suspension, however haha.

Was driving my Xj in the dark and rain today and realized the headlights/bulbs really stink.

Might get these after Xmas

I may or may not. I don't have much money just laying around, but I love buying stuff for my jeep, and this is actually PRACTICAL! GASP
