Well i just installed some 6 inch flat fender flares from xenon.
They look awsome !!! some pictures below.
Took about three hours to complete. little bit of wire splicing some drilling , prep cleaning , loads of wrenching , OH and don't forget about the ANGLE GRINDING !!! Those frigging factory bolts don't come off with a wrench. Most of them wont anyway. So time to grind. Hey now that was easy !!!
On to the new ones first thing to do is get some 14 gauge wire about 8" per side to make your ground wire's hook em up to the new rectanguler recessed marker lights and insert them into the front flares. All you have to do next is snip the factory wires figure out witch is hot {gray with white stripe} splice em and bolt them on. Oh yeah you can use an air rachet sence the fenders are flat.
I would just like to say to any would be do it "yourselfer" almost every part you buy thats a bolt on piece envolves more than turning a wrench.
Every aftermarket part on my jeep was installed by me with no prior exp.
and iv enjoyed every minute of it...

Those flares look good, like what my TJ needs, its Bestop flares have a nasty habit of allowing big rocks to get trapped inside them. How would you rate their strength/flexibility/ruggedness? Do they feel like they'd flex enough instead of breaking if you layed your Jeep against them on a big boulder?
