Default Pocket Flares?

So I really want to get that nice flare look on the Jeep, but I don't want to cut into it, because I hate paying people to work on my vehicle. And trust peoples judgement in something they wont drive, I'd rather not do that. So does any one know if they make pocket flares for the xj?

I don't think so... These are all the brands I know of:

Napier- http://www.napierprecisionproducts.c...6-97-01_c3.htm

Bushwacker- Flat- http://bushwacker.com/fender.asp?dht...&search=Search

Cut-Out- http://bushwacker.com/fender.asp?dht...&search=Search

Rusty's- http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-ex...ex-flares.html

Ebay- http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40


I don't know why you wouldn't cut it yourself? It is very easy to do and there is a ton of writeups on it.

Cut your fenders yourself. It's not that hard, just time consuming.

Any aftermarket flare will require cutting as you are trying tj add more room for tires. But like everyone said, just do it yourself.

Or you could even use a jig saw if you go slow enough.
