Default Bushwacker flares

Will 2 door flares from an xj fit on a 4 door?

Nope. The four door version has a two piece rear flare, part mounts to the door and part to the body.

You could probably do some creative sawing for that price...

I guess saw the part that would go on the door off the part that would go on the fender, sand it down real pretty, and figure out how to mount it. Just a thought, I don't necessarily know if I would do it personally... but Bushwackers are expensive as hell so I would definitely look into it.

You'd have to find a way to cap off what you cut because they are hollow.

That'd be the strongest part of a set of bushcrackers.

I've done it on the stock flares and it came out great.

Stock flares are C shaped and crackers are more of a D so you'd have to seal it or it would become a bowl everytime it rains.
