Default What other Fender Flairs will work on my Jeep?

Looking to replace the stock flairs, since one came off on the highway somewhere, and was wondering what other years or models would fit the curves of the 99 Cherokee sport? They don't have to fit as replacements, if the curves are close I can cut them and bolt them on... Thinking about just removing the hardware that's on there now and going fenderless.. Want to explore other options..

Any info would be great..

TIA

Once I know what I need I could do just that...However, I don't have time to wander around a junk yard until I know what to look for..

My hope is that someone has used other flairs, and already know what will work.. the point of a forum, sharing information...

or, someone will have one that they no longer need and could send my way...

Stock Jeep? I don't know of any flares that would look good or even fit. I dunno how clean your Jeep looks, but some people have used garden edging. I wouldn't. I do have the flares off my '92, but I doubt you want those.

Stock... I know...this one only gets minimal attention for now... it's pretty clean... boys use it to drive back and forth to school.. still working on getting all the fluids changed out..trans is next..

I'm thinking I may just take all the flairs off and let it run around naked!

That's what I have, but my fenders are trimmed. You pretty much need to trim to fit TJ flares, or cut a rather large chunk out of them. Also, my 33" tires stick out pretty far and the TJs just cover them. With little stock wheels, it'd look pretty ridiculous.

Flares from 97 to 01 will fit. Before 97 the flares didn't flow into the bumper so they still may fit but look like crap.

There's a write-up on how to make some very similar.
