Yeah I was just thinking about the fenders flapping around. Wasn't sure if the supports underneath are enough to keep them solid with changing the way the air travels over them. I like the way it looks and think everyone has done a great job of it!

You can also from the factory "skeleton" under them for more support and just bolt it back on. You have to do this if you want to reuse the factory flares.

Thanks caminton, I appreciate it!

Mine tend to flap a little at highway speeds. My solution is to cut them narrower which I shall do asap!

That's what I was thinking Jimmy, is if the fenders are trimmed a little narrower that it would be ok with the wind.

Yeah I also think it depends on how much of the under fender (or fender support) is cut back. I had mine cut back pretty far because I didn't like the look of seeing it on the edge

Yeah I agree, I don't think I would like the look of the under fender support showing either. Mine haven't been trimmed and I went on an RTI ramp and my tires were catching the support of the stock fenders.

Looks good BRaVell, what size tires are you running? I am running 315/70/17's with my coilovers set at 3.5". I'm wondering if it will make my tires look funny.

That depends on the backspacing of your wheels. The less backspacing, the more they will stick out.

Swampdog I'm just worrying about height wise. I'm good with the width. I keep trying to picture it but can't seem to visualize it lol.
They are also 315/70/17s. And on 3.5 Mc dual rate coils probably closer to 4 net loft tho. I had the same concern and I thought it would look funny as well. But I am happy with the way it turned out. Painting the well black helped alot I think.
I used an angle grinder with a metal cut disk. I wasn't that impressed with the cut wither. I think a hand held jigsaw would do much better.

You did a good job on yours. I just have to find some time to sit down and get mine done. Thanks for the info.

I would agree with that
Need some opinions for both looks and for someone who has done similar width. Ideally it will be narrow up front, wide in the middle to block as much road filth from getting on my jeep and tapered down to meet the slider.... Cut will be on on inside the tape

Got one side done still need to do the other and then do both liners........ Also when I re installed the light it's not turning on. Gotta figure out why. Cool place to put it since I still have the stock bumper. Overall I'm happy. Broke some of the clips so some of them are held on with only half the clip

Nice job, looks good. I like where you put the reflector light. If the clips are broken you could use some small bolts in their place or just get some replacement clips.
