Default Bushwacker Type / Rounded Fender Flares

I was out with my 2000 XJ 4 door yesterday (4 1/2" lift, 17" rims with 255/75R17 BFG Mud Terrain tires). I went into a water / mud hole thinking it didn't look "that deep" (lesson: my eyes are a poor judge of "that deep"). Almost immediately my right rear tires were completely submerged under water; and the water was about 1/2 way up the right side doors. My boys got out and watched as I tried to get the jeep out! About 15 minutes later I had the jeep free using quick back and forth of 4 Low and Reverse (lesson: get a winch). They later said the jeep was at about a 40 degree angle and kept thinking I was going to roll it over (lesson: get an inclinometer).

When looking at the jeep today I saw that my right side Bushwacker-style (rounded) fender flares had been torn loose somewhat at some of the bolt mounting holes. These were installed by a prior owner, and I don't know the brand. I have looked at the price of Bushwacker flares and surprised at how much they cost!

Question: any recommendations for Bushwacker-style rounded fender flares for less cost than actual Bushwackers?

Thanks
