2001 XJ with JK Flares
Personally, I think these flares are cooler than the bushwacker flat flares when done right. Here's my rig, just finished them this weekend. All I did was trim them down. I also have 2" backspacing on my wheels, so I dont recommend using these on a stock xj unless you're gonna trim the ***** outta them.

I agree, I do need some bigger rubber/lift. Right now im running stock suspension with 235/75R15's. I'm in the market for some 31's and a budget boost soon. Should make it look a bit better.
To attach them, I use a compass and traced along the body to make the cutouts on the bottom of each flare. And used small nuts and bolts on the front fenders. The JK flares already had nice thick tabs to screw into so it worked perfectly. (both front and rear fenders are trimmed) For the rear, I used self tapping sheet metal screws that were about 1/2" long. They went straight into the body since there was no way I could attach nuts. I wasn't really a fan of doing that, but oh well. The herculiner should prevent any rusting for now.
