those are NICE! let me know how it works out with no flares and the cops. i think that might be one of my next mods... i really like the look, and would like to be able to bump into the rocks a bit without damage ;)

Regarding the "cops" thing... A buddy of mine has tube fenders and a full width front axle (standard width rear, yeah I know, weird). Anyways, he got a ticket for no mud flaps and no flares. He installed rear TJ fender flares and mud flaps and the cops signed off the ticket. They don't care about the front axle. And this particular Jeep has 100% of the front tires outside the body. From the driver's seat you can see the front brakes!

Here's a link to a picture of said Jeep:

BTW Igofshn, the fenders look great! I like the turn signals up there. Haven't seen that before.
