I don't won't to spen the money on bw flares and I've seen alot of people use lawn edging, I cut my fenders and left the small lip that is angled out. I was wondering if anyone rolled that lip outward flat and cut lawn edging drilled holes and riveted the edging on, I think it could come out rather nice, then I wanted to tape off the lip and spray some black plastic coating? What y'all think

 

How about some pix!

 

I haven't done it yet but if I decide to I will deff post some pix, here is what it looks like now, rc 4.5 and 34 12.50 trxus m/t, seein if anyone thinks it's a good idea

 

Sweet lookin XJ!!

 

Thanks man jus got it in feb and it was all stock,

 

Looks great now

 

You are right it does look awesome the way it is but, depending on where a guy lives the Badgeflashers like to give tickets to guys with mud tires sticking out and no flares. The staters here on Whidbey Island have two favorite tickets to write. No fender flares and no mudflaps for rigs with oversized tires.

 

Thanks man, I'm in Louisiana I don't think I would get ticketed for no flares but my front tires stick out like 4 inches or so... And that would deff get me a ticket

 

not sure about Louisiana but im in southwest CO and no one cares about tires. i got 3" sticking out the front and about 2" in the back. and im far from some of the ones ive seen here. so i personly dont like front fenders, and depending on the rig some small rears i think look good. or you could just leave it all open.

 

Rolled front two fenders out... Going to drill holes and put lawn edging by riveting on, then seal and rhino line the flares next... Still need to figure out how I'm going to attach the flares in the back

 

ticket for no mud flaps? here you dont need fenders and you dont need mud flaps on a station wagon. (xj, bronco, blazer)

 

I've never had mudflaps, andi don't think it's illegal not to hav flares, but I hav to to not get harassed for my tires sticking out too far

 

i dont know about other states, here in co there are no laws, some townships might but no state law that i have found. but even most of the towns dont care because of how many jeeps and trucks do it.

I LOVE CO!

 

I would love to see the final product. I'm wondering how it would look....

 

Ok so here is the front... I just sprayed the passenger side with the coating and keep in mind I'm still going to clean up the spray lines and spray black over this, but I rolled the fenders out drilled #30 rivet holes every 2 inches, trimmed lawn edging, then installed with a washer under rivet tail...
