Those are nice...I remember them when I was looking on the site. I don't really like the tail light though. Shame on me if I should say I like the tj led tail lights lol.

Yes, we used to make them.......unsure where the templates might be since the move......I'll be doing a set on mine with tube fenders incorperated pretty soon on mine, not for resale though....I plan on opening the wheel well & tubbing outwards creating a new wheel well for the Q~78 tires.....

That blue XJ looks nice!
If he can consistantly fabricate the armor/flare combo.......he could be on to something, niciest I've seen yet!

Thanks for chiming in...I've had questions on these panels forever and I've never had a straight answer for others lol. At least I know you made them. I'd like to see the ones with the tube sliders on them when they're finished. I'll be watching. Btw I really like your fab work, it's pretty impeccable...keep up the good work!

Yes, I fabricated the ones you installed, they look good!
It's been sometime.......maybe 2 years since I've produced a set.
Thankyou for the kind words, for awhile I had lost a little intrest in forums, was'nt around much, trying to do better and yes, I'll post up my rear quarters as I build them, here in the fabrication section.

From a fabricators perspective, people interested in this type of upgrade.......are you looking for:

A durable alternative to plastic flares?
Structural integrity?
Increased tire coverage?
Increased wheel well size?
Cover existing damage?
Kool factor?
Would you expect it to be an 'all bolt on' install?

Let me guess........all the above.

If a stock flare extends 2-3/4" from the body, how much increased coverage would someone be after?

If someone out there was considering fabricating the item, it would help to standardize the item, your imput could help.
