My wife was probably right though, when I got the new big meats for the YJ she said now I will want bigger tires on the other Jeep (XJ), because they look so small.

If I find a steal of a deal on some 33s I suppose the sawzall will have to come out...

People thinking that because their vehicle has a front diff that they are entitled to drive wherever and however they want and leaving whatever they want behind. It's re-re taking his open diff 89 2 door cherokee in the rocks and me having to find something to hook my winch line to because he doesn't have any tow points. Git-er-done plauges the trails with cars that belong on dirt roads. You wouldn't play football without a helmet because it is a necessary piece of equipment. Just like a winch and lockers (or at least a rear) are necessary for the trail.

I'm not suggesting that you invest as much money in your rigs as I have mine, but at least try to generate enough thought as to why someone like me might post in the way I did. In case you haven't looked me up, I own 3 jeeps and the bank lets me drive a 4th. I've bought and sold 6 others in the past 3 years. I have installed over 5 lifts for my fellow jeepers in the last year and I am on most cell phones as the local "recovery guy."
So howse bout you keep your thread opinions to the question asked and get off my back about my opinions.

I couldn't care less of you drive a flippin zuki... I was expressing my opinion on flares. I have them and always will. I think rigs without them look unfinished and cheap. I have probably spent like 1200 on flares on my jeeps buying them new and then having to replace the broken ones...

Since we're striking nerves, here's what I really think. NO FLARES looks cheap. Like you cant spend the $$$ to buy cut-out flares. I've got cut-outs on all 3 of my trail rigs.
