Been thinkin' about doing something like this to my XJ in the near future and was wondering what type of advice you could give me? I don't really want to roll with thee entire cut out plate style. Looking for reference pictures. I found this style the most appealing to me. Ideas? Advice? Slander? All is welcome. Thanks!

...also, if there's anyone in my area with experience, I'd be willing to pay.

damn, I like them exactly that way they are in that picture, much beefier than the bushwacker flat fenders. Do you know who made those on the red jeep and if they sell em?

If you build them, you can make them any size you want. There are several on this forum who made them.

They're really nice, and as dysfunctional mentioned, a nice alternative to Bushwackers or Rusty's. I just need to find the equipment to rent or someone who will make them in my area now. Then, the XJ gets painted Desert Tan and these beasts get mounted.

Your about 3 hours from me..

I'm just North of Port Huron.

Let me get to working on my set and see what it costs, and how they go.

I have a donor Jeep I can use to mock up on so once I get the materials it should go fast..

Looking into starting on them this weekend..

if you're talking about making these and selling them, I'd also be interested in seeing some prices and pictures....
