not sure how much the difference is but the TJ flares are about 3.5" wide.
I've heard the sahara flares are wider though.

The TJ flares are pretty tuff I haven't banged mine up but I think they can take a hit alot better than the bushwackers

sahara are a lot wider.
i run BUSHWACKER´s and they just suck man i call them bushcrackers
they are very spensive:
they crack in the bolts area, (imagine if you hit them)
they dont give you a so much clearance, you have to cut them, i have to cut mines, imagine cut a pice of plastic of $500 that really sucks.
you cant jeep without thinking "damn i cant hit my $500 fender flares"

I WOULDNT BUY THEM AGAIN.
prefer running tj´s flares or not running.

Put the TJ's on the front of mine. Bounced em off a few good size trees too. Pushed in my fender, but didn't break the flair. My freind had the BW's on his and it broke around one of the screw holes, same thing as c_kdna was saying. BW's r not worth the money in my opinion.

Those are only rear TJ flares right? They look good, at least it remembers the original design of the stock ones.

Nice work dude.

Remember, to each his own. Everyone has their own tastes so let's just share them instead of dissing them.

im planning on doing rears only all around but people want to sell me the whole sets... lol... then i would be stuck with 4 front... to toss away... some people have to have flares to stay legal in alot of states... to those who dont like them at all... luckily i legally dont have to have them... but without them im slingin mud all in my jeep so i gotta get some done up... lol... im thinking of going a different aproach... but i dont wanna tell no one cause someone might steal my idea... hehehehe

hey new guy here. i have been looking at different fender flares and what you guys keep saying about the bushwhackers turns me away from them. its hard for me to spend a bunch of money on something i will clean off with a tree so i gave plastic welding a try. i moved the stock flares up about 1.75" by adding 2" to the side and top of the flare. they still need some cleaning up but they are going to work fine for me.sorry for the poor quality all i have is my phone for pics.

I wonder how much wider Rubi flares are than Serria ones? Or are they the same? I do like the rear only look.
