goto 'products' then 'body'
6" wide and i heard they will fit on a trackick with some moding. i would love these but went with the 3" JCW ones for a lot less $$$, which worked great for me 8)

Don't spend too much, you'll get grumpy when a stump rips one off.
If lawn edging isn't the look you're going for take a look at www.jcwhitney.com. search for
"EASY-TO-TRIM RUBBER FENDER EXTENSIONS/FLARES"

Those arnt Bushwackers,,,,,,,Thats a "tuner" wide body kit. Check the ricer sites.

Rear flares off a Jeep TJ (97+ Wrangler). There designed to bolt onto a flat surface and are 4" wide.

yj with some cutting and glueing... looks awsome

If you read the site he says they are bushwacker flat top flares....who knows though. I thought they were part of one of those ricer body kits too.

wrong.
those ARE bushwhacker flares. because i had them on my previous tracker. they were not made for very long though. i bought them for my 1994 tracker in 1995. not sure how much they were back then but do remember they were not cheap. And i know they are VERY rare and hard to find. And most definately not made any more, and have not been for a very long time.

I have found myself thinking about different flare options of late. A chat with a friendly state trooper at a convenience store proved to me that if he sees the Goblin out running around again without flares, he would pull me over and ticket me for it :-[ ::) :-/
I went to the salvage yard where I score most of my goodies and found a used set on a 70's Bronco. The fronts were 3" wide universal rubber type that were mounted to the flat surface of the fender, the rears are a different style, only 2-1/2" wide and mount to the fender lip(which means I can't use them up front since only half my front fender openings have lips still... LOL!).
I really like the fronts I scored that were actually mountable either flat or lip, but have never seen them anywhere else and of course there weren't another pair of them anywhere in the junkyard.
I picked up a brand new set of the JC Whitney 3" wide universal-fit rubber flares at the local flea market this morning for only $20, but they are again lip-mount. Are there any universal rubber flares out there that mount flat surface style with exposed screws?(not the cj-pocket type that hide the screws up under the flare, but rather ones with a tall rib on top of the flare that you can screw to the outside of the fender)?
If someone has any of these they'd part with or be willing to trade for lip-mount ones, PM me please! LOL!

That second pic didn't come up the other day and I still cant read the type. And they don't hve them on there site. So,,,,,,

I second this motion.
Has anybody put the Rear Jeep flars on their tracker and have pictures they could post to prove it?

Better refer to state laws first. Some of them specifically state "no law edging or similar materials"... ;)
If linking to other forums isn't frowned upon, there is a thred in the Off Topic section of the Quadratec (http://bbb.quadratec.com) BB on state laws.... may help in this case. Then again... it may only make your day more aggrivating. :D

What? Why would a state care about what the fender flares are made of? Granted, fender flares made of cotton candy might not be the most durable....but still.
This would be your socialistic, greenie nazis at work!

Are they lip mounted?

Tends to have things to do with poorly contructed/attached crap, I think. There are restrictions in some states. Merely a point that though some may not give two hoots in hades about the law... but since I am in :the business", I'd pass on the tip.. ;)

i was just gonan post and say biker has jeep flares on his, but he beat me to it :D
-
The beauty of the CJ flares is that you can surface mount them or attach them to the lip, I chose lip mount with large head rivots as it was easier. They have stood up to tree bashing really well. ;D
-
ive seen them before they look really good, although duane, woudl u even need them on there now that u have yer pizza cutter tires?
-
to Biker, I looked at all your pics from "duanes place".
Forget the flares!
My question is: can I move next door to you?
You obviously have some of the greatest looking country I've ever seen!
Definitely not Central Florida! (as in FLAT)

You are welcome to move here to paradise as long as you drive a Zuk. Anything bigger and you won't fit down the trails. ;D 8)

of course it is nice and warm here, like 70 degrees in January when everyone else in the world is wheelin on the ice, and I'm in the sunny, green, tropical woods, wheelin with the alligators!
Sure do like the mountains in those pictures though.
I'm gonna do the JCW flares myself.

FL is pretty freekin flat. I lived in West Palm for a few years. I couldn't wait to get back to some old hills ,and rocks. But you cant beat the swamps down there if your a mud/sand wheeler.
