I just purchased the flat fendor flares from Serious Offroad. They have grown on me and I think they will look real slick on my rig.

Id go flat flares 31-35 inch tires, and cutouts for 33 or bigger. Glat flares wont let you cut a whole lot. I have flat flares on 31's, looking to move up to 33's and from what ive seen, flat flares are absolutely sick!

I have a brand new set in the box of Rustys Flares the Flexible ones that you can't paint because they flex and give if you hit them against something. I decided not to use them and just go with his fenders later.

I paid $459 + shipping but I see now they are offering a $50 rebate. I would sell mined for $300 and the ride. I have never offered them before just been in the shop.

If interested email me mfsj@totalhighspeed.com

You can definitely fit 33's with flat flares. I just installed my flat flares with my 33's on 4.5" lift and thinking about going to 35's. I think they'll fit. I paid $400 for the flares on amazon and used the $50 rebate. So it came out to $350

Tom, I think I absolutely love everything there is about your adorable little baby there. When mine grows up, that's just about exactly what I hope it will be like.

Maybe without the mudflaps. But rules are rules and manners are manners, so maybe those too.

Well if you go the cheap and ugly route like me, TJ flares work pretty well.
You can cut and fit them to give just as much room as any of the expensive aftermarket sets.
Stock height with 31's, and plenty of room for 33's if/when I get a 3" lift.

I'm quite happy with my Bushwacker Flats. I also like the Napier Precisions

3" on 31's.

Not to hi-jack, but I am working on a 99 build that is exactly like this. I love the flat fender look. I wasn't sure if I should go flat or cut-out, but this settles it.

What size/brand lift is that and what size tire are you running on your ecco's? Are you using wheels spacers at all for rub/clearance issues? Trying to make sure I have my basis covered before mounting my M/T's on my stock ecco's
