They look like they are of a wrangler I have seen an XJ not to far from me and I did talk to him about his fenders and he did say that he pulled them off a wrangler.

They look awful! Looks kinda like a knock off hotwheels toy for a 3 year old... Just my opinion though

well im a mudder not a rocker, so i dont need much flex, and i find these look badass along with the huge tires and visor....are these stock flares? or after market?

plus a guy round here got a 600$ ticket for no mud flaps(not long enough) and tires sticking out from fenders...pretty strick cops......this is his truck and his pics

and i just got pulled over because of my tired sticking out and they impounded my jeep for an inspection because of the hole in the floor, the slightly cracked windshield, and the tires sticking out....so i had to buy a new jeep

Interesting picture. It would have been a better pic with the headlights off since with them on it shows a flaw lol

I like the look. Its obviously set up for deep snow and ice.

Reminds me of the truck the guys from BBC Top Gear took to the North Pole.

Must be a Quebec thing.. I don't know anyone who's been given a hard time or a ticket for no flares, and only one guy for no mud flaps (running 44's on a full width YJ..).
