Here is the 2 door XJ and MJ link: http://notchcustoms.com/product/m-max-fender-flares/
Good luck with any kind of response from that website...been trying for over a year, and so far, nothing....not even a KMA.

Tried email & phone....no dice.

Nice job, I did something similar...
I took the stock flare and moved it up and joined it to another stock flare....


You would never notice unless you knew the vehicle very well, same as what you did, but for me moving it up was a necessity....

You might want to try again. I just sent them an email at 9 am Eastern time and they replied at 7:34 am Mountain time. About 30 some minutes afterI sent them a request for availability of the MJ/ 2dr XJ version.
Which they have in stock. Just waiting for the bolts to be installed. I'm ordering a set tomorrow.

Just read through this, how did you extend the flairs, can you do a complete weight up? Maybie include things learned.

I think your missing what is up...


The brown jeep in the thread "extended" the flairs forward towards the front of the jeep, by joining two stock flares together.


Two posts up I moved up the position of the stock flare by joining two stock flares together.


Write up is as follows....


go to junk yard, get a set of stock flares, cut your fenders, join the two together and put them back on.

I used some plastic bumper epoxy. Backed with dry wall tape. Sanded and painted. I was able to use one flare. The front part I used on the drivers side and the rear portion on the passenger side.
