Does anyone have any experience with those bulged flares from rustys or from any other company? I was thinking that I might want to purchose those if I decide to change my front clip as well.

If you search, youlll find a lot of info on flares. The common companies are Bushwacker and Rustys. Personally I decided to go flareless because I was afraid I would rip the flares of and at ~$230 their not inexpensive to replace.

Actually, I totally fraised my question wrong. I meant to say bulged fenders, not the actual flair. I've heard of rusty's flares and bushwackers too, but I saw the pre-runner style bulged fenders and I was wondering if anyone else has used them.

Are you talking about fiberglass replacement fenders with built in flairs?

Rustys offroad has them. I think they are 160 a piece. Not too bad compared to the price of stock fenders which around 200 from the dealer.

That would be okay for the front, but I think that the Jeep would look retarded with just the front fenders bloated like that.
SeanR has BW's and has ripped off a few....think about the increased width of the vehicle and then how much it would cost each time you went out and creased one of those 160.00 fenders...
Now if this was for a Jeepspeed vehicle, I retract all previous statements....
If it's a mall crawler....chrome them.... :wow:

Excuse my gramatical error.XJ_ranger said:
Rusty's also makes buldged fenders for the rear as well. They bolt on to the quarter panels, but they really don't work well at all for 4 doors. For a two door they are still goofy looking, but for a prerunner....meh

for the rears if you go to jeepspeed.com there is a link on there and someone sells fiberglass front and rear wide fenders liek that. they would be perfect to cover full widths on the street but glass is still well glass and shatters on contact. o and if rustys builds fiberglass fenders anything like he does his regular flares there complete crap unless your idea of wheeling is parking blocks at the mall.

Here is my idea I went with.........I DO NOT like the look of fenderless XJ's so I bought the bushwackers 
Mind you I trimmed very neatly and welded up my rear wheel wells after trimming away the pinch seam/weld...........and instead of using those sheetmetal screws that bushwacker supplies with there flares I used riv-nuts. This way when I know I am goin wheeling somewhere thats gonna possibly cause damage to my wheel flares I simply remove them

BTW - Rusty doesn't 'make' those fiberglass fenders, and the same goes for the flares he sells.
The 'glass fenders mentioned on Jeepspeed(http://www.tandjperformance.com/index.htm) are the same as Rusty's sells.

ive got the glassworks ones. http://www.glassworksunlimited.com/gu71.shtml even though it says only 84-96 they work for all years. since they are local i picked them up for 325, but he does ship. they have a 4.5" bulge and a 3" raise.
